Z Nation is possibly the best zombie show to date. Low budget doesn't mean it has to be bad.

Without specialization you sometimes end up reinventing the wheel, poorly. Like, a page of Python code instead of 5 lines of SQL.

> aimed at data engineers I disagree. Professional developers should know their database of choice inside and out, and use-the-index-luke helps with that. You can skip the details about databases that aren't relevant to you.

Really? You want to strive to test that logging logs and observability observes? You want to test constructors, getters and setters? Testing trivial code brings negative value, why would you do that?

I noticed a very strong current towards employee wellbeing emerge in companies where upper management wants everyone back in the office (for various reasons), and then used to justify why permanent remote work isn't an option. Cynicism

We have a subset of the workforce who misses the office. Before you shed tears for them, consider when the roles were reversed, office work was mandatory and it was you who wanted (but could not get) remote work. Did your office-loving cowo

My experience is that most developers are really bad with SQL. Because of that, they would rather use an ORM because they think they can avoid internalising the relational paradigm. But, guess what - if you don't speak relational then

How come? As far as I know if the jsonb data was toasted (too big to fit in 2kb), then in order to query anything back from inside the jsonb you have to de-toast it, by definition.

The problem of course isn't the internet "speed" but latency. ISPs advertise hundreds of Mbps but conveniently forget to mention latency, average packet loss and other connection quality metrics.

Upvote for the comment, but the reality is OOP (at least in C++) encourages people to write code this way. When you have a sufficiently large code base and an unforeseen requirement comes in, one that wasn't planned for in those archit
