Triggers
Triggers. Who doesn’t like a good, lively debate about triggers? With the extreme cold that we’ve experienced this past week in the northeastern U.S., I feel like a little heated debate wouldn’t be a bad way to forget about the cold. But alas, I’m not here to talk about database triggers. Sorry, we’ll have to […]

With the Rise of AI Chat, are Experts Still Needed?
As I looking at the feed of technology stories this week, two things jumped out at me. First, Valentine's day happened to fall on the monthly release day for Microsoft updates and feature previews.
