  • RE: Should I Stay or Go?

    I'm thinking about this in the content of technology choices.

    I use mostly Microsoft technology at my current job and Linux at home. But I have two opportunities to jump...

  • RE: Successful Projects

    "9. Do you have too many concurrent tasks?"

    This is my major issue. Too many completing projects, no time, no resources. When I ask for assistance, I'm told, "It's job...

  • RE: Hunting in Packs

    "Hunting in Packs" is the wrong metaphor.

    If you have ever seen wild dogs hunt, (Planet Earth series has a great scene), it's not the mess described with this group of...

  • RE: Who's Got a Preteen SQL Server?

    I don't know if MS is overcharging, but they are certainly charging quite a bit. Upgrades, especially when you hit 2012, are big decisions with cost implications.

    When database server license...

  • RE: SnowCrash for SQL Server

    Hopefully the interface is better than that of SSIS.

    Just imagine:

    "In SQL Server 2023 you can create an VR ETL job by walking down the hall, entering the restroom and...

    As do I, since not all clients understand or enable PS or any other advance scripting technology.

  • RE: Examining SQL Server 2016

    We're excited that we may see it in shop by 2021, if we can afford the license costs! 😀

    I'm wondering if we will run it on Windows, Linux or Linux...

  • RE: Is PowerShell Intimidating?

    Actually there's folks at Microsoft that think PowerShell and cmd.exe are so bad, they ported Bash and Linux to run a real CLI on Windows!

  • RE: Is PowerShell Intimidating?

    PowerShell is useful enough if it's what fits in your niche.

    As a developer I think it's a utility language targeted to Windows Admins, Exchange Admins and DBAs. It really doesn't...

  • RE: Dexterity Matters

    I have a laptop, that I've turned the track pad off, since it gets ghost inputs when I type. Use a wireless mouse instead.

  • RE: SQL Server on Linux

    My reaction is: Meh

    This is basically a Azure/Cloud play for enterprises already committed to SQL Server. It has nothing for those wary of the high licensing costs, nor OSS proponents...

  • RE: Do Less
