I have written some motion detection software that works with webcams that I wrote around 14 years ago. I think modern cpu power has made detecting people, over other moving objects, much easier and more reliable. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” ― Christopher Hitchens

We are currently moving databases from one environment to another. We have automated the process to include moving the database back to its original location if needed. The guy who built that part even went as far as to think about "What if they decide to move it over to the new location again?" So he built into the code the logic for, and this is what he called it, "Rereverting" the database. I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yep, Nobody even noticed my post. :) Thanks for running the benchmark, I suspected it would be faster. :)

I thought "rich console apps" was a lame joke, but this looks quite good! Robust Services Core | Software Techniques for Lemmings | Articles The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.

Left pond, Deep South “Got” is right up there with “has” and “is”. At least 40 use cases. “Gotta” is the other variant; less use cases. In writing, I agree that there is a better replacement word 99% of the time. MS Word needs a “got” checker.

There is a lot of angst and wisdom in all of the other replies. My take is that, like many things of late, developers do not use judgement and assume "if a little is good a lot is better" without doing the analysis of what is really needed. I was doing "Dependency Injection" (hate the term, it should actually be "Dependency Abstraction") before the term was ever coined simply because I needed a little bit of it to make certain things more general. As to why it seems simpler these days perhaps it is because the tooling (such as Unity, et al) have made it simpler to use and when you're less concerned about how the gas ignites to drive the piston it is easier to see the utility of the engine. But that simpler tooling comes at a price, namely we don't always know what is going on under the hood, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing depending on what we're doing and the issues being faced.

I'd agree - it looks too close for comfort - especially for what is effectively a "new member" given his interaction with the site.
