Applies not just to database change-data capture (CDC), but also event-sourcing.

I was lucky to get in on the _Thunder_ VB 1.0 beta and, as an "expert" QuickBASIC developer at the time, was just blown away by how easy it was to create a Windows application (which previously was _very_ difficult). I remember su

Your FAQ mentions "free version you can only use it for your personal purpose", yet the license for the components on GitHub is MIT. Can you clarify what exactly is free and what you're selling?

These positions are all labeled as "Hybrid" (2-3 days on-site). Could you clarify that these are 100% remote? If not, please change your post to reflect this.

Is this actually a fully remote position? The job posting does not say clearly that it is. It says "remote" at the top, but in the posting it only says "This job operates in a professional office environment or remotely as ne

I dread upgrading my 2020 iMac, because the screen is still gorgeous, but there's no way to use the screen as a secondary monitor (or is there?). I find the Studio Display to be 2X what I'd be willing to pay for a monitor—for me t

Yes, but: https://twitter.com/nipafx/status/1676908785313492992 "JDK21 is a version, for which many vendors offer support." tl;dr: the Java version is not what gets "long-term support", it&#x27

Why not htmx? If your front-end is truly a front-end and there’s not a lot of state needed in the FE, htmx.org might be a great fit.

Sorry, I didn't see anything at the top regarding laws that require disclosure of pay ranges. Did I miss it? Is this not relevant to the postings?

I don't see pay ranges listed for the open roles. If hiring in California you have to disclose a pay range in the job listing.

I don't see pay range(s) listed for the open roles. Not sure how many employees you have, but at least in California, if you have 15 or more, you have to disclose a pay range in the job listing. Colorado has a similar laws. New York&#x

I'd love to replace Zoom, but as a trainer/coach, I use it only on a weekly basis with multiple people, I guess you'd call them "strangers" (though they might be "regulars"). I'm unclear about how the

Beta testing "Thunder" (code name for VB 1.0) was one of the most exciting things in my career. As a long time QuickBASIC user, looking longingly at those C++ developers writing Windows apps, I was floored when I got my hands on V

Best way to learn (as with most things) is by doing. As mentioned, TDD by Example (Kent Beck) is a good start. Pairing or coding in a group ("mob programming" or "ensembling" as it's called) is even better than doin

Yes. Continuously. There's 3 times to refactor: 1. When you're trying to add a new feature ("prepare"). 2. When the new functionality has been added ("tidy"). 3. When you're trying to understand the code (

I have a different question: why do folks create a username+password based AuthN system on their own, instead of leveraging OAuth and letting someone else deal with the hard part of managing passwords, resets, etc. Or use a service like Fus

Nice that this is open-sourced, but would've been useful for clean up work to be done before that happened, e.g., non-standard directory layout (which they admit is a known mistake—so why was it released?).

A 15% cut is quite a lot, and I'm not seeing sufficient benefit from your service to warrant it. Also, highly recommend you have someone review the text copy, it does not sound like it was written by a native English speaker.

I wish I had good news, but... I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, not because of any obvious problem, but because my psych wanted to put me on drugs that might make me drowsy, so he wanted to make sure I was OK in that regard. A sleep study

I find the Yahoo Finance News to be awful. So many ads are mixed in with news stories that vary from recent to days old, with no rhyme or reason as to the order. Marketwatch is better in this regard. The specific financial information from
