I always just force myself to do it by dumping it on my bed so I can’t sleep until I did it.
Then I remember having a few drinks and staying up late and then looking at my bed so angry with myself … I did fold them all and put them away so I was kinda proud I did it but I was upset the entire time lol.







Yup. I haven’t touched .NET in forever … like it’s been 7 years or so but I was there for the 1.0 days. I remember running stuff to code gen db tables to objects and NHibernate and Entity Framework and all that jazz.
I was just like, “wait, why am I writing all of this if it’s just a projection”. Then the Active Record pattern felt limiting when scaling my application. I think after we discovered Dapper… we just stuck with that. It’s a micro-ORM where we write SQL and it maps into C# objects and it just simplified when hydration happens and how. (not sure how much its changed or if it’s even active now, but it was amazing)
