At my current employer I saw the dawn of DevOps coming. Some managers were interested, all the way from the C-suite on down. We were starting to really get into...

Thom, I really appreciate your sharing this. I've never heard of QUOTENAME until now! Very handy to add to my toolbox.

I'm ambivalent about mentoring. When I was starting my career I read that getting a mentor was a good idea, so I tried doing that, by going to different people...

Hi Mike (MVDBA), today I got an email from GitHub tech support, which looks like its going to solve my problem. WooHoo! Looks like I can set an email address...

Good question, Grant. I've seen some well known companies do very rigorous testing and interviewing of the candidates. I'd get the feeling that they really had a good idea as...

Excellent editorial and blog post. I'm one who loves to continually learn. I attend .NET user group meetings (although they may be stopping soon, unfortunately), SQL Saturdays (when I can),...
