The difference is: great programmers code better than good ones.

Good programmers are better and more pleasant than rockstar programmers.

That is one of the perks of being a good programmer.

The difference between a good and great programmer is that a good programmer can get the job done, but a great programmer stays on task and will get the job done.

Absolutely!
But topic of discussion is what qualities in them converts the probable event(can) to sure event(will).

A while back global warming was a pretty big deal in the USA.
Then we had the Ebola scare and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Now all the drama queens are upset over police brutality.
These things used to upset me but now I just want to make money.
Make a prediction as to what the next big panic will be about - you know, the next issue that is about an injustice/disease/social ill that has been going on for 200+ years but that the young, juice-bag hipsters can wet themselves over, hate their parents about, stage a protest about, before moving onto the next fad cause.
I'm thinking a natural disaster of some sort.

Th fear-index should not drop too much, otherwise people stop to think. And yes, it helps in desensitizing, one gets quickly used to reports on the panicks.
Most of them are blown out of proportion. It is a form of "clickbait" for the traditional media.
Global warming is still a big deal, but less for me than for the Americans. Ebola, well, the only real surprise was that countries that rushed to get a "live specimen" home was astounding.

I wouldn't be surprised if this VS extension already existed, but I can't quite figure out what keywords to use in a search...here's the scenario:
Typically, when I'm working on a feature, I'll constantly be referring to the same set of files that can come from various spots in the Solution Explorer tree.
When I'm ready to do a check-in, the Pending Changes window shows everything I've been working on, so that's a great quick reference, but as soon as I do the check-in, this list goes away. If the feature isn't yet quite complete, I have to find these files again in the Solution tree (assume I have more windows opened than the subset of files that make up the feature I'm working on).
What I'd like to be able to do is drag/drop a bunch of random files of my own choosing into some floating window (similar to the Toolbox, I guess) and give this group a name. All it is, is a list of files I can then pick from. I could then have multiple lists of these, with a name of my own choosing. I should be able to add/delete any number of files from any location to this list.
Does this sound like an VS extension anyone's encountered?

I too have often wanted something like that, but never got round to really looking out for something. On rare occasions I have resorted to more than one IDE for the same solution.

Install SourceSafe, or similar. While not exactly a plugin, you can always get a nice history of which files you modified on that checkin, and compare it to older and/or newer versions.

I have TFS and have access to its full changeset history, but ultimately what I want is something that makes sense to leave open all the time, and drag/drop random files to a list. A changeset is a read-only list.
|
|

|

Can't you click on the changeset number and that will display the list or look at the history and that will also give you a list (as Changeset Deatils)? (Hope I'm talking about the same thing you are; if not, ignore me).

My fault for bringing up check-ins in my initial question to draw a bad analogy...as mentioned in another response, what I want is not necessarily a list of what changed and when, but something that lets me group together any number of random files (any type) on a window, and give me the ability to load them back in VS with a double-click...no matter where those files are located in the Solution Explorer view (if they exist there at all).
I'm working with a solution that contains over 70 projects, and quite literally thousands of files, and I'm constantly trying to find the same set of files.
If I had the time, I'd be happy to write and share my own extension; in terms of what I need it to do, it ought to be trivial.
