Writing comments, using proper variable names and having methods doing single or few tasks does not take away man points.

I've felt your pain. I used to work in a place where these were seen as weak. Another prevailing indicator of weakness was preferring emacs over vi, because syntax highlighting and actually being able to use the arrow key. The only developer in the section that I'd hire was also the one who suggested emac to me.
Curiously, I got told off for using "high falootin' theory" to remove blank lines in postal addresses. My crime was to use pointer swapping (this was in c) rather than arrays as using the "high falootin' theory" took 20 mins off the process each day. So vi good, but knowing what you are doing bad. I don't miss working there.

This one is age old VB.Net code. I have spent hours figuring out what is going on and I am still scared redesigning as I have no clue what change will break what else.

Every single time I've made a function do a discrete thing I've lived long enough to be thankful that I chose that design approach.
Every.
Single.
Time.
Every single time I've attempted to save time by combining things into a single function it ends up sucking really bad.

Single.

It is AMAZING to me how a few design principles can really save one's development life.
This is one of them.

At what age the wisdom tooth should be extracted?
|
|
|
|
|
It depends who you will ask . If you ask me - never, if you ask my dentist - the moment they appear.Because they were made to be extracted.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

They should only get extracted when (and if) they crate propblems. I'm 38 and still have all of them. Two of them are even operational. The other two are not visible yet.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I have 4 fully operational wisdom teeth. Why extract them ?

Never... I've got mine 4 extracted years ago... I think wisdom went with them...
Oh, and don't forget about the 1 hour pull tour the dentist took on my lower right tooth... he ended cutting it inside my mouth after that 1 hour of pulling... it was niiiiiiiice!

I've had mine for years & they've never been a problem, except when they firs came in. So I'd say never, unless they become an actual problem.

Why extract? I've all of them and I'm 43...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Only if/when they are a problem.
I have all mine.

What can go wrong if they are not causing problems and get extracted?

I don't know what age, but the best time of day for any dental work is 2:30

In my opinion Wisdom teeth should only be removed if it(they) is(are) causing problem(s) in the mouth, or likely to cause problems.
I'm 41 and not had mine removed.
Don't fix what isn't broken works for me! I hate the dentist. (Not him personally, after all he was at school with me!)

|

|

Becuase;
a) Put yourself through the torment of removing them (if you hate the dentist etc.)
b) discomfort for a period after having them removed
c) potential to introduce infection to the open gums
|
|

|
|
Because they can be tricky to brush they can go bad, two of my four did and had to be removed. One after it broke when eating Brazil's at Christmas time.

When they start to hurt constantly.

They said I was wise beyond my years, so I had them extracted at 19.
Lo and behold, I had 6 wisdom teeth!
If you asked what time they should be extracted, I would say:
Tooth Hurty
