A couple of things I would like is better control over memory. The automatic garbage collection is nice and I understand that it's usualy better just to let it be so it can collect when needed, but in some cases I know the memory can and must be freed like when processing a large import file. Also I would like to be able to "Destroy" an object in certain situations. By that I mean to have one method that can nullify all refrences to a particualar object. Another thing would be multipule inheritance, or at least some psuedo-composite type scenario. My company seels a website management tool which runs as a smart client, so I write a lot of UI code that is shared between web and windows. We have our own MVC style system so much of the "Controller" and "Model" code is common to both web and win, but we also have several methods we have to add to both web and windows controls to support that system. Our only option now is to use interfaces, but 90% of the implementation of those interfaces for each control could be shared, but is currently copied since both our web and windows controls can't derive off of a base class.

It really depends on what kind of coding i'm doing. If i'm trying to design components for a large system i'm better when i'm fresh and awake, but if i'm just knocking out some simple code, i'm more efficent when i'm a little tired because I just knock it out and I don't get bored and start playing with new ideas. I really think the better question is what drugs help you code the best in which situations? I know some coders that like to get good and baked and actually perform better, and others that get all jacked up on coffee and/or amphetamines and hammer out a 2 KLOC's an hour.

I got one of those chairs here at the office. I have to turn the tensioner all the way up, but it is never in the "upright" position. Basically I sit straight up with the back all the way down. My elbows don't even hint at touching the arm rests, and the back support is non-existant for me. As odd as this is, this chair has never caused back problems for me, and if anything it has sthrengned my back and abs. When I work from home I hook up a PC to my 65inch 1080p DLP TV and use a wireless keyboard and mouse on one of those "lapdesk" things from the lazy-boy. Much nicer

If your a big guy like me, make sure to check the weight limits on the chair. I've broken many < $100 chairs only to find out they were ment for people that weigh less than 200 lbs. If you are planning on spending 8+ hours a day in the chair don't be affraid to spend at least $200 to get quality chair. In the long run you save money because you buy less chairs and won't have to visit the chiropractor as often.
