Thanks. Good to hear!
I'm 51, and I'm a "full stack" programmer, which used to just be a regular programmer before everybody started overspecializing. When I learned programming, you met a guy, he told you what he wanted, and you made the computer do that. You didn't say "But I'm just the Java guy"
It wasn't that you were an expert in a dozen things, you just figured out whatever the heck you had to do.
I've kept with this philosophy and it's served me well.
So I dive in and out of SQL. I picked up my habits on SQL intensive projects in the 80s and 90s.
It'll be difficult for me to switch until I get into a spot where I'm using it heavily for a week or two. Hopefully I'll remember this thread then and give the new way a shot. Sounds freaky, but hell, I wasn't crazy about pointer arithmetic when I first heard about it either. :)
