I'm a year late, but better late than never. A year ago Ken stopped by my office and we had a very freewheeling, entertaining and rather random conversation abouten-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/06/07/better-late-than-never.aspx#10055552Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:12:32 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10055552Denis<p>The idea about a common backend for several compilers to generate the real machine/IL code from something intermediate that compilers produce is pretty like the one used for decades (no even for years) in *nix environments. C++ compiler as far as I know used to produce an intermediate (C) code, too.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10055552" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/06/07/better-late-than-never.aspx#10023712Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:28:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10023712AdamWalker<p>Totally agree. &nbsp;The amount of times he interrupted and then asked a new question when Eric was describing something really interesting and leading up to a point. &nbsp;This seriously wound me up. &nbsp;You gave him too much credit with the word &quot;style&quot;. &nbsp;He doesn&#39;t know how to interview.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10023712" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/06/07/better-late-than-never.aspx#10021855Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:04:46 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10021855oReally<p>Interesting, thanks for the link.</p> <p>Anyhow I dont really like the interviewer&#39;s style. He was interrupting you way too much. The interview is supposed to be about how much Eric Lippert knows about the subject at hand, not about how much the interviewer knows...IMHO interviewers should be way more inconspicous.</p> <p>my two cents...</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10021855" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/06/07/better-late-than-never.aspx#10021544Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:21:43 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10021544capa<p>awesome</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10021544" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/06/07/better-late-than-never.aspx#10021282Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:18:10 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10021282configurator<p>Erm, if you&#39;ve just realized how come it&#39;s pre-recorded?</p> <p>Sorry, I couldn&#39;t resist.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10021282" width="1" height="1">
