  • 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)


  • 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.


  • I hate the word “woke” in general after it deviated from it’s intended cause (not by the ones that coined it of course).

    However the right wing is very smart is disguising certain things that they pretend to champion and mask it as if they’re doing people a favour. A big part of “woke” (even though they can’t put it into words) is corporate pandering. Which I don’t think the left cares for too much… but that can be stretched to mean anything to be fair. The thing is that some people can THINK they mean: shoving representation to only sell tickets but it can also fit under as hating minorities because they’re taking over. It all fits into the same umbrella.

    In any case, black people were in ancient Greece just as there were black cowboys. World was more diverse than some think.




  • what’s funny is that I built that into my routine and I try to have conversations during family get-togethers

    My parents seem to have broken that routine when smartphones came about will check their phone at the dinner table … my brother just has Reddit out all the time and scrolls if he feels the slightest bit bored. His kids are watching YouTube on the TV but they like talking … but he doesn’t feel the need to engage. His wife doesn’t seem to be all that engaged. Could be either due to him being on his phone all the time or doesn’t have much to say …

    Reminds me of when I did group “men” therapy and the guy running it recommended we all read Jordan Peterson.

    I don’t think he had any ill-intent, but I was like – eww … I stopped attending and hope they all stuck to that one book and only that.


  • I knew some bad devs that didn’t have CS degrees. They joined because they thought the money would be good and the companies wanted to reduce labour costs.

    It’s really hard to explain to someone what loops are that doesn’t get it.

    However some of the “worst” devs that I’ve worked with aren’t incompetent coders. They’re good “coders” that are fucking shit to work with. They refuse to fix their own bugs, blame you for their mistakes, ignore your feedback and management fucking loves them and gives them carte blanche. I’m talking over ten years ago but we implemented some cache system who refused to publish their docs online to “strengthen” relationships with their customers. Anyways, the dude implements it, doesn’t document anything (much like the product itself). Days past after implementation and I see what looks like a cache bug and I say, “Sergii, can we look at this together?” His reply? “No, I’m sick of looking at it” … I go to the manager and he says, “yeah I get what he means, I’d not wanna looks at it either” … great.







  • Agreed. I’m British and became a Canadian Citizen when I was 9 and moved back and forth a lot between the two countries.

    When I moved back to the UK when I was 25 – I actually had to get used to hearing and saying “maths”. I remember going to school in Sheffield when I was 14-15 and I must have heard it there but it still shocked me as an adult.
