Some dude that's been designing and writing software for way more than 1/2 his life. I occasionally say some ridiculous crap I'll probably regret saying.
@shanselman The project I just delivered is an early adopter of EF + Cosmos. Tooling to make those magically generated queries easier to follow outside of code would be awesome. Not sure what that would look like, but Cosmos's "barely SQL" SQL is not enough.
So.. Checking out this @CAExtremeOrg thing today in the lovely bay area. The weather in Santa Clara is beautiful compared to the 100+ degree devil's anus that Phoenix is these days. Games AND nice weather. Impossible!
@ChrisEvans Chris, this is a disgusting message to send to today’s youth telling them they can be super heroes. The true superheroes are youth football coaching legends like me. If one of my players won’t acknowledge that, I tell him to go to hell in front of his teammates.
@JoshYTsui Generally I agree. But, living in AZ, occasionally a poisonous critter like a bark scorpion will wander in and dare me to step on it with a bare foot. It takes a week for the creepy crawly feeling to subside. Then the shoes come off.
@newincpp@sehurlburt I can 1000% confirm that this kind of miscommunication is a key problem with faulty software, even out side the game industry, especially if those products have any amount of complexity. Great job getting to the "why" of it all. That is exactly it!
@sehurlburt I literally interviewed someone for a UI/UX position this weekend. He had a background in game dev, and when I asked about how he dealt with the gamer and high pressure delivery cultures, he was surprisingly upbeat about all of it. That attitude got him an offer.
@OvidPerl Agreed. DB's are a storage mechanism and implementation detail. I was railing more on JS's very general "number"/float type than blaming the database itself. But as your previous post eludes, there are some that would leave it up to the DB to do the type conversation in SQL.
