Where you see ugliness I see beauty. I guess it is just what clicks for someone and what doesn’t. But together our strengths make for one really good programmer

Where you see ugliness I see beauty. I guess it is just what clicks for someone and what doesn’t. But together our strengths make for one really good programmer hence why I like working on teams.
- fiddlerwoaroof 7y agoYeah, my experience is basically the opposite to the GP's as well: for expressing the projection of data I want to work with, there are very few syntaxes I find more elegant than an SQL query. (I have similar thoughts about CSS)
- Scene_Cast2 7y agoWith SQL as an analysis / insights tool (as opposed to prod or dashboard use), answering one (nontrivial) question leads to follow-up questions that need a lot of query restructuring.
- gigatexal 7y agoWhen attacking a problem like that I find many queries that might build upon them etc., helpful than one single query to build a report
