One does not need to be an astronaut and go to space to confront the typical metaphysical questions such as what is consciousness or where life come from. But yeah, being in space helps to click it.

I disagree. Knowing how much to abstract and writing clear code is indeed an ability.

From a quick glance, this one you just posted feels way more idiomatic than the Java port. The ultimate idiomatic thing to do would be to expose rethink as an IQueryable<T>, but implementing it can get hard/tricky. https:/&

Not in love with MongoDB, DocumentDB is Azure only. Finally a (great) document database option for me (I work in a .NET shop). Kudos to you guys. But... but... what's with that C# API? It doesn't look like typical C# at all.

I kinda agree with your first remark. I once acted just as you described as my rule of thumb. But after sometime I found out that deciding if a validation is bound to the operation or not and if the cost (IO) of doing it first hand is wor

I'm not a Rails dev (.NET actually) but I have stumbled with this question before: should I allow invalid objects to lay around my domain? It may be tempting to validate as soon as the constructor/setter is hit. And this works gre

Abstraction not only has a play on science but also on the social part of our lives. Take money for instance. When you see a great amount of cash you're immediately amazed, or when you see someone purposely burning money you get confus
