  • Which tools or packages should be known by a developer irrespective of programming language to be a better developer?
    D Duncan Edwards Jones

    Relational databases (SQL) - learn how and when to use them and only then make a decision when/if not to use them. Code profilers - because nobody is as smart as they think they are and the sooner you can see that you are doing something wasteful the less likely it is to make it into production

  • I'm fairly old fashioned at times ... but should I embrace unit testing?
    D Duncan Edwards Jones

    I use MSUnit but am quite strict about using it to test units, not larger lumps of functionality so broadly speaking there is not much of a maintenance cost to keep the tests working...then it is automated as part of the CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps.

    "Real time" is a bit of a relative term - it depends on What do you mean by “is”?[^]

    It seems unlikely - I had not downloaded the app before mine was delivered.

  • Starlink Delays!
    D Duncan Edwards Jones

    I have Starlink set up here in Dublin,Ireland - the kit arrived about 2 months ago and I think that was 6 months after my order. Speed is good and the kit is rugged (we just had a big storm here but it was not affected) but it is quite heavy and does need a good "view of the sky".

  • Obscure paths to serious bugs
    D Duncan Edwards Jones

    Yesterday I found some code making the assumption (for an option instrument[^] ) which was assuming that a strike price of zero was the same as a NULL in that field. It categorically is not - but finding all the impacts of changing it, and any data saved with the wrong value or impacted by it, is going to take weeks. Tiny assumption -> huge mess.
