Coders - Programmers - Software Engineers - whatever we're called, we love writing code. Here we explore tools that work, and how to use them. We describe creative solutions to tough problems and ideas for becoming a high powered, free and mobile professional that can do more of what we really want to do - write great code on our OWN terms.
While we love programming, some of us want to break out of the 9-5 cubicle world and get more control of our own time. To do that, we need to not only learn how to setup systems in our small offices without the help of an IT department, but we need to get good at solving some of the tough problems.
Hopefully the information posted here will help good coders become great ones and work up to becoming more high powered professionals and consultants.
Please comment if you can add to these posts. We'll all benefit from better, more complete information.
We coders need to stick together!

Estimating how long something will take is one of those necessary evils of being a software engineer. Even though you don’t like it, your manager will probably need to make a schedule, even on an Agile project and will need your input to put your implementation tasks into the schedule.
