I've been using your site daily during the MLB season, the design is perfect. If you displayed a plain text advertisement I wouldn't even mind.

I even played Strat-o-Matic baseball by mail when I was a kid! We'd fill out our rosters and managerial instructions then mail them off to our opposing team's manager. A week later I'd get the results back in the mail. Hard to believe such a relaxed pace.

The entire 1968 Yellow Submarine movie from The Beatles is a good example, particularly the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds scene.

Great example! It was 1968 actually, I saw it at the theater when I was 7 years old.

Clicking the OP link I get a warning page from my ESET AV:

Is this somehow related to the Google situation?

I started coding at 22 years old out of college and am now 58. I've resisted the pressures of becoming a manager my entire career and have had no regrets. Recently I turned down yet another manager role for all the reasons you gave and couldn't have been happier. Management at my place understands my career plans and have been accommodating. I plan on retiring in 10 years but know a lot can change between now and then so if my current job becomes unbearable, I'll leave and take on freelance coding projects. I will never become a manager.

It's the number of columns on an IBM type punch card.

I can't stand when someone answers a question on SO by first admitting they know nothing about the subject then take a guess with an answer. Why bother answering if you don't know the subject?

Great advice. Writing integration tests or unit tests around existing functionality is extremely important but unfortunately might not always be feasible given the time, budget, or complexity of the code base. I just completed a new feature for an existing and complex code base but was given the time to write an extensive set of end-to-end integration tests covering most scenarios before starting my coding. This proved invaluable once I started adding my features to give me confidence I wasn't breaking anything and helped find a few existing bugs no one had caught before!
