  • RE: The Work of the Ancients

    I know the UK tax system was supposed to be migrated to a client server architecture when such things were fashionable. As far as I am aware it is...

  • RE: Have a Think

    I know of senior managers who book an explicit spot in their diary which is sacrosanct.

    When I became a manager I found that I was pulled from pillar to post...

  • RE: Are you a Data Scientist?

    I like Alan's definition.

    There is a difference between a data scientist and the skills required in a data science department.

  • RE: No Time for Testing

    I prefer BDD over TDD as a business analyst and tester can work together to produce clearer requirements in an ubiquitous language that is human readable by a business person...

  • RE: Logging Tables

    Kristen, it sounds like you chose the right thing for your company, your use case and the size of problem.

    There are no absolutes. The epiphany I had was...

  • RE: Logging Tables

    At one point I would have taken variations and amalgamations of what has been written here.

  • RE: High Volume Reads and Writes

    If you are migrating to AWS I take it that your existing offering is either on your own physical tin or virtualised in your own data centre?

  • RE: Who's a Good Developer?

    Thank God my last recruiter wasn't that shallow...

    I think you have the wrong end of the stick. If you have someone so objectionable that even the most affable member...

  • RE: Who's a Good Developer?

    I've interviewed loads of staff over the years including a few technically brilliant ones that were rejected unanimously by myself and whichever colleague was interviewing with me.

    • Technically brilliant but would...

    • RE: ER Modeling

      The point that keeps cropping up here is that anERD document is useful in the short term until the individual learns the system. The benefit the individual gets from the...
