Yeah I built one of these for .NET specifically for this, with DB-specific drivers to extend the API, especially for Postgres. It just tries to be a dead simple representation of the query, then provides a command API to do mapping and exec

Every cool new revolutionary, game changing, disruptive tech I can think of has had some kind of “killer app” that lead the way to widespread pubic awareness. Peer to peer had Napster, AJAX had Google Maps, microservices had services of lar

Mercedes has a system on the S-class that uses the sensors to detect a potential impact (e.g. an rapidly approaching vehicle while the car is stationary) and uses the active suspension to "jump" raising the car a few inches just a

Yeah, no. Companies that care about costs absolutely track what they’re spending and where. I’ve seen plenty of merely questionable expenses a fraction of this caught and called out at very large companies.

Yeah for real, the city might actually try to do something about someone removing signs. Not even joking.

Hell no. Also if this is your expectation you’re absolutely insane if this isn’t automated…also this kind of sounds like QA to me. My presumption is the base functionality requirements are met, I’m looking for potential performance issues,

I am afraid that the last few minutes of life will be like a confusing and disoriented nightmare. That has always seemed to me to be the most likely scenario as your brain is shutting down.

Right, nobody who has a bad experience with agile is doing it right. I am very familiar with this line of argument. Fact remains though that back when everything was waterfall (proudly) and we shipped physical media to clients, when a bug o

It seems that with these types of changes, I mean with more and more of the workforce working on schedules that don’t overlap, it is going to become more and more important for business software to run autonomously without anyone there to b

I recently received a copy of a letter with some information about my ancestors from the 1700s. Apparently they owned an inn in a small village in France (it is still there and looks like a relatively nice place to me, so…I guess they were

I think many of us, myself included, have been conditioned to be paranoid—just because I can’t think of/don’t know of any way some data could be abused doesn’t mean I’m going to make it public.

Most revolutionary/generational tech has started with an implementation or at least a proof of concept of something new and novel that subsequently drove interest in how it worked. Like Google Maps use of AJAX for infinite scrolling or

Yes, actually there are two small additional repos, but we only very occasionally change and review. I think it would be a bit more difficult with many repos. Perhaps you could make it work, but it’s quite convenient to pull up everything i

My experience has been the exact opposite, if the developers understand what the business is trying to accomplish and what the incentives are then they are in a much better position to prioritize and build the right thing. Every single time
