A progress bar doesn’t need to literally report precise progress — just that milestones/checkpoints are reached. Like that 1/7 microservices has completed. Now, you do need to consider expected timing and weigh it accordingly else

I think you should be capable of programming in notepad.exe. Not because it’s a test of skill or improves your understanding or whatever… but because the IDE shouldn’t be able to do anything you can’t do yourself (slowly). If you actually u

I'm not sure I'd consider query-builders to be ORMs. You do inevitably have a mapping from query resultset to list<obj>, so it does meet the name itself, but there's clearly a very large difference between "Hiberna

ORMs are fundamentally broken. Hiding the relational structure of a relational database is the act of madmen. Using the psychosis of ORMs to defend the psychosis of SQL is itself a form of psychosis

The hard part of SQL is thinking relationally. This obviously doesn’t do anything to affect that — if they actually thought this, they’d be making the same mistake as SQL itself “the reason business users don’t program is because it’s not e

I believe LINQ maps to a chains of function calls on an enumerable, with the functions usually taking anonymous functions as input (and then the series of functions is rewritten into a SQL statement by EF to hit the DB). I don’t think you’d
