    Informal survey before I make a fool of myself in an article (again)

    Do you get the feeling that IT people, especially ones at the top-end of the field, are...

    podmate (7/2/2015)


    There was stress in the job, but we were all very well trained and worked as a team.

    Wow, quite a story. Not sure I'd handle that well.

    I do agree...

    Work to live, not live to work.

    My first career was literally saving babies (running life support on extremely premature infants).

    I find that IT is a far more stressful career than medicine.

    In medicine, we are (mostly)...

    I downloaded SQL 2016 - SSMS the other day. I really like. Intellisense seems to be more "feature-rich". Yet to try out live query stats.

    And here I thought that the SSDT Add-In to Visual Studio was going to be the new path MS was going.

    I don't agree with this article.

    I've got a BA and an MS in Computer Science and a 20+ year career in IT. I've taught Computer Science at the...

    TomThomson (7/2/2015)


    That's a reasonable question, but it might be instructive to pharse it a little differently: If you are looking to be a programmer, do you need education or...

    ... SQL developers without degrees were as rare as hens' teeth.

    I saw a stretch of this. It seemed every developer/programmer I worked with had some degree. The last 4-5...

    alicesql (7/2/2015)


    That's hitting the nail on the head. Education vs training. I see it as a spectrum. Some jobs require more training, some require more education. If not initially, then...

    I'm not sure if this already exists, but Microsoft should have a dedicated blog spot on MSDN maintained by the SSMS team that includes sample C# project...

    Where are you seeing all these new hire programmers without degrees? Not being snarky, I just can't remember the last one.

    Meet some at almost every event I...
