  • RE: Practicing Deployments

    A lot of companies are transitioning to DevOps. The delay is likely due to cultural issues although certain traditional software is highly resistant to scripted deployments.

    From what I can...

  • RE: Practicing Deployments

    In a past life I worked in a company that provided web sites using CMSs. At the time these things had quite complicated infrastructure requirements if you wanted to...

  • RE: Does Log Data Belong in a Table or a File?

    The phrase I would use would be "choose files over database tables". That isn't slamming the door on using tables, its just saying that in most cases would be...

  • RE: NCAs and NDAs

    Has anyone had any experience of an NDA/NCA being enforced?

    Yes we sign these things up front but what happens from a practical stand point if they are breached? Not...

  • RE: Avoiding Stored Procedures

    I can remember when vb.net came out. I was in a development role at the time and two of my colleagues had honours degrees in software engineering. Very...

  • RE: Avoiding Stored Procedures

    My definition of good enough would be significantly lower if the"we promise to fix this if it causes problems" was a firm commitment rather than an outright lie.

    There's nothing like...

  • RE: Time Off

    Another example of the problem is a 4GB plan cache with 2,500 single-use plans out of a total of about 12,000 plans. The ORM sets parameter character length...

  • RE: Avoiding Stored Procedures

    There are some lessons I've taken away from this discussion:

    "tools" I'm going to ask people more about the tools that are being used. I don't/can't know everything. And what...

  • RE: Avoiding Stored Procedures

    I thought a Birmingham Screwdriver was a lump hammer:hehe:

    On the Agile front an awful lot of things get labelled as Agile when they are not. If it sounds like...
