  • RE: Going On-Prem?

    Of course your manager will thank you for this - all the way to THEIR next (big) pay raise...

    Not me being cynical - this is experience.

    And this is...

    ...The only thing that's worse is when said individuals continue their façade during the crisis leading to further problems.

    Sad and unnecessarily painful memories dragged up by that statement.

  • RE: How Do You Act When You Need to Learn New Technology?

    A lot of junior or intermediate developers have such a drive to learn that they often try and push to do the "latest and greatest". I was no different. I...

  • RE: Baby Steps to DevOps

    I'd have to agree with Steve here. These are decades old practices and it is totally unprofessional to use some of them. Arguably, all of them.

  • RE: Is order important?

    DamianC (11/4/2016)

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (11/3/2016)


    I think it's one of the most solid subsystems in SQL Server

    I should jolly well think so!!!

  • RE: Server Hardware or Coffee?

    The trouble I find on some projects is that they have done impact assessments (or just guesswork) in terms of costs and some organisations are less that happy to reallocate...

  • RE: Generating Our Own Bad Data

    I don't buy the "it's not IT's responsibility to report spotted fraudulent behaviour" as it is EVERY employee's duty to do so. Where I would agree is that is isn't...

  • RE: Time is an hour out!!!
