This post reads like a chart in an Apple keynote presentation. Tell us what this really is.

I want to write sql but have my library map between my languages built-in types and my sql types. I feel like something like Dapper is the correct abstraction for communicating with a database.

This is why I just pretend 5 star reviews don't exist. I figure all the other reviews are probably legit and look at them. If all the other reviews are 1 or 2 star I'm not going to buy it. If there are 4 star and 3 star reviews it's probably decent.

The problem is many times you end up with tickets like 'create a runway' when there are already four perfectly good runways but the person doing the breakdown didn't realize that.

And if your developers don't have a bigger picture understanding then they also won't know that there are already runways they should be using.

I think this is them being forward looking, realizing that 3.5" drives are quickly becoming a relic of the past.

It's gotten to the point that I no longer even pay attention to the overall score and instead I look at the reviews and ignore any review that is a 5 star review. I figure people aren't going to pay for reviews that aren't 5 star. If the only other reviews are 1 or 2 stars I know it's probably a crap product. But, if there are a decent number of 4 star reviews I know it's probably a decent product.
