Performance implication exist, but it is secondary. Primary reason: distinct on every select shows either lack of knowledge of schema, in particular which columns make rows unique,…

Its a matter of your eyes being used to this. If for ten years you always indented the code this way Void F() { Foo(); Bar(); Baz();} Then following snippet will seem hard to parse…

“bad” might not be the right word. Maybe better “usefulness for current population of developers is very limited”.

Any chance you have a code/pseudo code example of this? My naive take on this would be “just use raii/closable”. (But easily and likely, I misunderstood)

“I wrote some very good C# code“ We all do.. its always that other guy who is at fault :)

Possibly there should be emergency scenarios considered. Where government turns off video things (youtube and netflix) in case of major network degradation.

8 to 11 needed changes in application code.

How do you ensure quality? Review and testing. Reviewing is easier when there is less code (i.e. libraries are in use)

Could you elaborate? Why is it so?
