Public service announcement for game development:
The media we consume matters. Every story, every work of art, every song, it says something about our society, about ourselves. It is a representation of our culture, both the building block of the next generations, and what our culture will be judged on by them. That is why it all matters, because it's how we speak to the future. Let's say the right thing.

I always make sure my IDE has at least basic "rename variable/method" support so I can fix typos without a problems :) I try not to do anything manually that my tools can do for me, and these tools allow us to maintain our codebases a lot quicker and less painfully than notepad++.

Seriously, JetBrains: Resharper for C++ and the C++ IDE. I will love you long time when you release them. Eclipse only does very little and it's one of the best IDEs for C++ I've found :( Then you look at IntelliJ, which literally has a "Replace inheritance with delegation" button! That button! I want it in everything!

Yes, yes it is. That's why I'm staying in England ^^ It's a game jam, sure there's a main gathering for it (and some secondary ones), but really it's always the taking part that matters, not the attending. I'll probably try and do a stream or something if I take part :D

Qtcreator actually has a fairly nice facility for refactoring and autocompletion.

Yeah, but Creator doesn't have syntax highlighting and completion support for C++11 yet.

How long does it take to become an effective coder? What breadth of experience do black hat's, or white hats, tend to have?

Also, why did you take up programming? How far would you say it's being viewed as a borderline neccessity skill?

It depends a lot on the person and how they are learning. It took me about a year and a half of self-teaching C++ in my free time during high school to get to the point where I would consider myself an effective coder.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Could you clarify?

I started programming mostly as a hobby, but later decided to pursue a degree (and eventually, a career) in computer science. I think programming is one of the most under-appreciated skills, mostly because the vast majority of people have no idea how it works. However, with the rapid growth of technology, basic programming knowledge is becoming more of a necessity.

Black hat or white hat hackers. The first being illegal, the second acting as countermeasures to the aforesaid.

First, there's a distinction I'd like to make. Hackers are people who find interesting, innovative, and creative solutions to problems for fun and/or experience. Crackers are those who use their hacking skills for security penetration and the like. What you're referring to is cracking. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I don't have any experience with cracking, so I can't answer your question.
