I played with Denodo (data virtualization software) a couple years ago and thought it was pretty legit.

In theory, it could be used to provide that industrial strength abstraction layer between your Tableau/Looker/etc. and your bajillion weird and not-so-weird (RDBMS) data sources.

That would seem to make sense to me from the point of view of -- I would want my data visualization/analytics-type company to be able to concentrate on data visualization/analytics, not building some insane and never-ending data abstraction layer.

The part that surprised me was that Denodo could allegedly do a lot of smart data caching, thus speeding things up (esp hadoop-oriented data sources) and keeping costs down.

I'm guessing the other data virtualization providers can do similar.

At least no room for corruption

dark patterns like offering health insurance...

...will add that, yes, a terrifically-horrible code base can and will depress you -- as in, clinical depression.

i think just like anything, spend some time studying the code. maybe it will eventually start to make a bit more sense once you become familiar with the over-engineered, abstracted-to-hell piece of shit object-oriented codebase.

They definitely already depressed. Need to call up a therapist and book an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, go, and then start to feel better.

Not sure where to get a recommendation for a therapist -- best thing is to just call, book the appointment, and go. Tell them your problems, ask what you should do.

Then go from there.

If that therapist sucks -- I figure 35% will -- then do the same thing with a different therapist.

Find someone close to your office or home.

Shit hired at 52 fucking a

Pretty sure I had a Burger King veggie burger about 20 years ago in Sydney

Had to be Agile dev with CI/CD

yeah, that was pretty good. i guess OOP is not the end-all be all. prob would have been more useful if this was produced 10 years ago instead of 3 years ago. is anyone still using OOP?

i love any kind of 'hate' article, and this guy is hilarious, so +1

a leader would ask for clarification, so there's always that.

god - most stuff i listen to from this site has _some_ quality about it - something i can learn, but this is just garbage. 15 minutes, one quarter of the way thru -- done.

i didn't know it was just some right-wing psychobabble.

oh those poor flailing and flailing liberal coastal cities!

maybe Republicans can teach them something, by, for example, the coastal city of......Knoxville, TN.

CSS is the worst.

Git and CSS are the two hardest things anyone will ever try to learn in computers.

To the extent I've had some success with CSS, I've used bootstrap, and went back and did some CSS 101 stuff because none of it is intuitive -- actually learning how they did CSS helps a lot b/c trying to figure it out will never work -- it's all back-asswards at best.

and that's before you get to browser differences.

this sounds like a good place to work.

yes, scrum works

and so does every other methodology

and yes, it's b/c of scrum.

and yes, it's in spite of scrum.

and yes, it's a full on scam/fad, just like every other methodology.

my best guess on where things currently stand is that: 1) most shops use it 2) most shops use it very loosely, at best 3) most shops know to publicly despise waterfall but know that scrum and the rest are just watered-down waterfall and any shop doing near-actual scrum would kill to have a 'waterfall' dev model again -- that is, a realistic dev plan without requirements that change on the hour 4) until one of the new pseudo-methodologies (like design thinking) replaces it, Scrum/Agile will continue to reign supreme (b/c it ultimately exists b/c it is very management-friendly -- it's useful for controlling employees -- not for any other reason like 'productivity', etc.)

i've been an occasional defender of php, but darn...those backslashes.

and, symfony is the worst garbage in the history of the planet. worst mistake ever.
