A fast processor and RAM that won't let me down while multi-tasking
Anything other than these is secondary, I…
I'm a 28 year-old web developer/programmer with 4.5 years of experience, and I'm looking to jump-start my career. I'm trying to decide between self-study and a 1-year master's program in CS at a top school.

Good Morning,
I am trying to find a programmer to code a piece of custom software for my business.

Hey,
I have been programming now for a couple of years. But never any low level language.
I started off with some java and some VB. Then I went over to VB.NET and now for a while I have been writing C#.

Have you come across a super programmer? What identifies him or her as such, compared to "normal" experienced/great programmers?

So, I graduated with a BSBA in Management Information Systems with honors almost 2 years ago which is more of a business degree. As of right now, I do have a job title of "Programmer", but it's more of a report writing position in an arbitrary, proprietary language called PowerOn with the occasional…
