I am a frustrated, grumpy C++ programmer who just found his MFC-fu, ATL-fu and template-metaprogramming-fu skills aren't needed. After a few years spent mostly complaining, I decided to learn new tools.

These days, the programming languages I use the most are C#, PHP and JavaScript. I know, ugh. But they work, and I get paid for making things work.

comment Difference between 'trabajar para' and 'trabajar por'
@Trufa: I would use "trabajar en lugar de" instead of "trabajar por". But, then, I am a little too obsessed when it comes to non-ambiguity.

comment Why is “Usted” grammatically a third person?
"Usted" and "ustedes" are similar to Portuguese's "você" and "vocês", which are also grammatically third persons.

comment Are there any differences between “de nada” and “por nada”?
"De nada" (you are welcome) is correct. However, some people incorrectly use "por nada" when they mean "de nada", and you should be ready to infer by context whether they mean "you are welcome" or "thanks for nothing", which, ironically, are kind of opposite in meaning.

comment Computer science, software engineer/developer, and programmer
@Trufa: "Ingeniero de sistemas" (systems engineer) and "ingeniero de software" (software engineer) are not equivalent.
