We switched from Slack to Teams several years ago because we were all-in on Office 365 products. Everyone hated the change, but with stuck with it. It was slow, crashed a lot, search was abysmal and you'd have to be a masochist to use

When you're wearing the headset, you're not truly seeing what's in front of you in realtime; it's not a window. Instead, you're seeing a video using the cameras on the exterior of the device which is then streamed t

Maybe they're working for both, but when push comes to shove they felt like they had no choice? In this economy, it's a little easier to tuck away your ideals in favor of a paycheck unfortunately. Or maybe the mass signing was les

Mildly chuffed to see there is someone else out there like this; I'm the exact same way. I don't touch type properly, don't use home row, but type at a pretty decent clip when it's familiar - even code. Slow down quite a

Random anecdote: I worked at a company with an on-prem server room and the building got struck by lightning. It fried some servers and quite a few nic cards on employee computers. Our CTO decided since we'd be in the building doing har

Thank you for the feedback. I'll do some research along these lines. We have moved a report or two to Power BI which has been must faster than similar reports built using dynamic queries. Keeping the data in sync and the Power BI learn

We use ElasticSearch in a very limited capacity for keyword searches against consumer product metadata. We haven't ventured into using it for BI reporting, but I'm interested. I'm sure there is plenty of knowledge I can googl

Curious how you approach business units asking for reports that require multiple joins and can "filter by any column" and "sort by any column" and also offer pagination and then complain about why it's so slow? This

I found OpenCraft's approach on compensation interesting and, while I'm not currently interested in applying (I'm happy at my current job), I had some questions. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum though? Would yo

Pretty fun! There is a bug in the particle/bullet handling code. If you move left to right while fire, they maintain the X coordinate at which they were fire as you'd expect. But if you move from right to left while firing, their

Nice. I like the idea of bridging coding skills with math operations. Definitely will take a look. Thank you.

If I had to sort those - painting, learning a language, calculus. So, yeah, it seems hard to me. But I've never truly given it a lot of attention. That there is an "aha" moment for some, is promising.

I lost interest in school around the 10th or 11th grade. I never took any math classes beyond what was required to graduate way back in '96 in Florida. I also didn't go to college. I've been a professional web developer since

I'm fairly adept at writing queries and have been using MySQL for what seems like an eternity. The multiple aggregates per query thing kinda blew my mind. I've certainly done that by using something like SUM(CASE WHEN x = y then 1

Have to agree. Without a clear set of standards on how to structure things, it ends up being chaos very quickly. We had a PM for a while, who gravitated more towards QA, and when they got ahold of Confluence they went crazy (in a mostly goo

I agree, it's bad. We were on Slack before, but switched to teams when going all in on Office 365. I really wanted to use the "Teams" feature in teams, along with chat for general chats not specific to projects. That never pa

There are companies that can help with EDI integrations so that both ends can use their "flavor" of EDI and they do the translation. SPS Commerce is one such company I know of. Not affiliated, but we do use them at my employer. I
