This type of writing is getting really tiresome. "Enterprise sucks, frameworks suck, X language sucks..." You don't like, but other people like it, get over it. Just don't use them and stop complaining all the time.

People do the same with parking lots in Brazil. Buy some land in the city, and old crumbling house (which usually are big), and sit on it waiting for the value to go up, or some construction company wanting do build an apartment building on

Heck, I work with software that is 10 years old, and the only thing that keeps us sane is very meticulous testing. Seems like the author never heard of testing the tests: mutation testing.

If I remember correctly, when you buy a blank hard drive, and then format it, the formatting tool does not zero out the entire partition. The empty space left after a base install of an OS is note literally all zeroes or ones, it's ran

Nice, I like Postgres a lot, but sadly now I live in Oracle world. Will give it a try at home. Back in 2005-6 I used http://www.sql-ex.ru/ to study and learn SQL, it worked fairly well with Postgres.
