    LG 24" 4k monitors are like $350 - might be worth a try. I have two with my M3 Pro and they look fantastic - sharp text, good color and viewing angles.

    Maybe faster... but I've met very few developers that are good DBAs (that understand procedures, cursors, permissions etc.) Database schema versioning / consistency is a whole othe…

    I see so many new $80k trucks in my area that people can’t possibly afford. They’re the last people that would ride a bike or vote to improve infrastructure like that, unfortunatel…

    And now those unfortunate to be both unattractive and athletic, have quickly dwindling opportunities with the increasing cost of college and advances in AI and automation. The inte…

    If I remember correctly, there were 600 CS freshmen in 2000 at Virginia Tech, only ~60 of us were left by graduation, I think largely because of people evaluating their prospects a…

    Same, and DOS before it. I've always been a Microsoft fan, but I'm a bit tired now. Apple silicon is a killer feature and I'm finding it hard to justify not moving wholesale to it …
