I wouldn't call this a development bug, more like a requirements oversight. I see this type of thing a good bit where a business user complains about some aspect of...

I'd argue one reason technical people lose touch with technology when they become managers is because technology changes so fast. Thomas Edison and the other people you mentioned from the...

In my view, Over-Engineering is now the norm. How we got that way is really due to market control and dominance - today's younger developers have far fewer...

I've recently gained first-hand experience of this as I just found out a co-worker, who does the same work I do, is getting paid 30% more than me. Salary information...

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who's happy at his job! 😀 I knew when I was 10 when I first started programming that that was where my...

Why put anyone through the extra effort to decipher, even if it's small? Why are so many people wedded to table aliases? The From statement might be "TableA...

Are table aliases really that hard to decipher? Even if you had a query with 6 joined tables and every one of them using a single character table alias, all...

Why can't expressions be used anywhere a T-SQL variable can be used? For example, in the first parm of a RAISERROR call. The first parm must...
