It would appear there is no way to localize Regular Expression Validations in MVC 4. Now I need to come up with something clever

Totally digging the Opera Mobile Emulator. Very handy and it doesn't require a bunch of SDK stuff. http://t.co/opmxQ1AX

Darn you CSS Style Precedence..! Getting complex styles to cascade correctly can really take concentration

Finding lots of guidance on disabling HTML Form autocomplete, but nothing that tells me how to support it for common fields. Help!

Localizing is painful enough, but double-localizing is just more fun. First for web and then for the shorter mobile web. :-p

Large #'s of SQL Svr params (in my case ~35) is still more efficient then sending XML to the DB. The query optimizer is blind with XML

Apparently SQL Svr 2K8R2 will allow up to 2100 Stored Procedure params which is kinda shocking (& cool). Can't think of a Use Case for that.

Backing thread-safety into a large existing codebase can really be a drag on your momentum. They should've thought of this from the start

I must have written thousands of Performance Counters over the years, & I've added another 30 to the list tonight. Just can't get enough ;-)

Ohhhh Good Lord!!!! This code has hard-coded, network addresses, connection strings, usernames, password & database id's. :-(

The declarative validation pattern is so deeply ingrained in MVC now that I'm not sure how to do it imperatively. :-P

Deciding between seperate MVC Views per Locale or 'trying' the all-in-one approach. I've not had success with the latter

Trying to use MVC 4 with pure interface Models. Not sure if it's do-able but I'll try. I suspect I'll have to write a custom Controller
