For you guys saying that you hate SourceSafe. Trust me, once you work in some other source control programs (namely, TrueChange), you'll think SourceSafe is the best thing that ever happened to you. I just moved from a project that used TrueCrap... er... TrueChange to one that uses VSS, and I am thanking the .Net gods.

Mr. Lennard,

No matter what kind of projects you got, the process is going to be the same. It's like going to the guy sitting next to you in a restaurant and asking him why is he eating with his mouth just coz the rest of the restaurant is doing so too!

re: Should programmers be able to convert from decimal to binary?

I completely agree that the programmer needs to know how to decode numbers into bin/hex/dec. The person is writing for computers. It is hazing only if he mocks the person for doing so. As part of an extensive candidate, yes, i agree it is a small part, but the basics are basics for a reason. Because everything builds from them

More trouble than what it's worth most of the time.

I just look for anything that resembles sourcesafe (includes the text: 'scc') and kick it out
