I take it back. 100Mbps is the beginning as for 1,200Mbps that's happiness !

We recently upgraded our internet connection at work and made me realise that life begins at 100Mbps.

Developers are like songwriters, they should also get paid royalties. Why is this not standard industry practice?

I had no idea ! Thank you for that trivia.

Now that is funny.

A lot of programmers say they are into Monty Python books and films. I really can't figure why. I once tried watching a Monty Python sketch, it was unbearable!. Someone enlighten me, what's the big deal with Monty Python?

I like you analogy. Kindly complete it for me. Pipeline - Bandwidth Oil - Data Vehicles - ?

I just realised that I'm doing that right now. I have just started using extension methods and I'm trigger happy when it comes to using them.

One of the revelations that has come about as a result of covid-19 is that data is not the new oil. So many people working from have realised that bandwidth is the new oil. Data is just the vehicle.

The Osborne 1 looks pretty cool

It seems to be the trend that popular websites and mobile apps are releasing desktop versions , yet not so long ago word going around was that desktop apps are dead. We are supposed to be in the Post PC era. It seems winforms developers like me are here to stay. The Post PC era talk was just a fantasy.

Execution wise it's definitely sprinting or galloping but in terms of the actual coding it's more like crawling.

C++ could be more like driving a big-rig - Agree The thing is that VB/VB.net has a lot more bells and whistles built in but with fewer actually useful features. - Not so sure

VB.NET - Driving automatic Transmission Vehicle C# -Driving manual transmission Vehicle C++ - Walking More analogies please!!

Is not yet time for database to have the email and website/ url data types?

Do you work with any women? My female colleague saw this and she is offended. Anyway the movie is "Swimming with sharks."

Ok, I am going to request that my job title be changed from Applications Developer to Pragmatic Application Developer and will be sure to mention that I am pragmatic in my next interview.

English is not my first language (my first language is VB). After googling the meaning of "pragmatic" all I can say is "thank you".

I has been said many times that be able to code does not necessarily make you a programmer/developer. I just realised that I am one of those people who can write code that works pretty well. I'm not always proud of my methods (don't mean methods as in procedures) and design, most of the time I do whatever works. I get my code to work by any means necessary. I guess I am not a programmer/developer even though that is the my official position at work. Question is who/what am I?
