You would not last long in my team. When you “forget” the standard, you would have to rewrite your code. In the end you would perform a lot worse than other team members. Anyone should be able to follow coding standards, you do not have to

We intend to do something similar. The users get a pop-up in the front end when a new version is available and are asked to load the new version, but they can keep on using the old version for a while. The length of the time window does not

How do you handle database/data store upgrades? It seems there is a window where both the old and new system write into the same data store.

Exactly! Devs should learn SQL and should learn how their ORM works, what it is doing "behind the scenes". It is also a good idea to keep a sql profiler open when working with the application to see which queries are generated. W

by rvdginste 4y ago
True in the sense that you do not need to learn anything extra to build queries using an ORM. But it is not the complete picture: whenever you use an ORM, you should really know how the ORM works and what it does. For example, even if you

I am surprised by all the anti-ORM comments. When you use an ORM, you need to both know SQL and the ORM. Your investment in learning an ORM is not wasted and you can carry that knowledge over from project to project. If you know both the

In 2000-2006 I implemented garbage collectors in C on Linux. I used Emacs and GDB, and likely also DDD and GDB from within Emacs. I don't think there was anything better back then. It's been a long time since I used C, but I won

I'm also a fan of Dell Precision: typing this on a M4700 (with a 3rth generation i7). Running Debian stable with KDE Plasma on it. It was my work laptop for 4 years and then became my personal laptop. Still in very good condition.
