It's an idea for startup! WhatYouUse? or WhatOneUses? User registers on a site, then a special agent collects info from his computer. Thus, you can see most used hardware and software, compare, rate, find potential friends (VIM lovers), etc...

> How come I can still have syntax errors?

Google's App Inventor prevents you from making syntax errors, since you use code blocks instead of writing source code. Actually, if you use code templates that any modern IDE has, it helps you to avoid most syntax errors as well...

Sites for sharing music note sheets can move to use this technology instead of using static pictures. This allows collaborative editing of music sheets directly on the site.

In order to automate human creativity one must understand its nature at least.

Software engineer is a programmer and a developer, since he applies ideas and knowledge to develop software using programming as a tool.

Do the page "The ZFC Axioms" contain errors? I can't understand the following proposition:

∃y∀z(∃w(z ∈ w ∧ w ∈ x) ⇒ z ∈ y)

Shouldn't it be:

∃y∀z(∃w(z ∈ w ∧ w ∈ y) ⇒ z ∈ y)

Writing plug-ins for Eclipse is only possible using Eclipse itself. But I use it for other Java projects as well. What I like: code assist, quick fix, code generation, refactoring, code navigation. The only thing I dislike is buggy SVN integration plug-ins :)

All trigonometric identities can be easily derived from the Euler's formula. Instead of learning the whole course called "trigonometry" at school we'd have been just taught this formula!

I wonder whether video game developers are also wasting their life? (I'm not a video game developer)

When the project reaches the phase when everything is obvious, no challenges are left, but just a lot of routine work - it becomes non-interesting. I think this is normal.

He's lying, C++ apps are not portable.
