Question: Why are developers so reluctant to talk about the direction of their software? Are you tempted sometimes to tell us what's next for REAPER? Do you have to strongly advise your other team members to keep tight lipped about what the team is currently working on?

Question: Today in my CS class, we learned how to use recursive functions to determine whether a word is a palindrome? When my teacher explained to the class what a palindrome was, I immediately thought about my dream girl's name, Ara. What's your favorite palindrome and do you frequently use recursive functions?

Reply on May 16 2016, 3:42pm:

I don't have a favorite palindrome. Recursion -- I wouldn't use it for palindrome detection, but in many instances it is useful! e.g.
