Just do it quicker and skid the car round by pulling on the handbrake

You know, I'm usually known for my programming tips. I think this is the first time I've ever been cited for providing a useful mechanical tip -- definitely not my area of expertise. Funny thing is, the double-clutch thing I actually learned from a friend of mine when I was 20 or so...and HE was much more mechanically-wise, haha.

What surprises me is that you were shifting into reverse gear without your foot on the brake. When shifting from neutral into 1st or reverse, surely you have to have the brakes applied?

Earlier this AM, I sent that to the company's CEO - really.
Worst case? He'll realize it's me and just shake his head. (I hope)

When I worked at Bell South they had a policy prohibiting the posting of Dilbert cartoons on the cubicle walls. Anything else was fine, just not Dilbert.
I think that pretty much tells the whole story.

At work a colleague has started using NHibernate, an ORM (Object-relational mapping), before this we only used hand-coded SQL routines.
I wonder if this is a good choice, we are using VS2017, mainly C# and PostgreSQL.
The database is fairly simple, only about 20 tables, but speed and performance are important factors.

I take it you are speaking from experience with NHibernate ?
|
|
|

You can still use stored procs (at least with EF - don't know about NHibernate). Marc Clifton has a post below about EF. We are starting with EF Core 2 - supposedly a big advance on previous versions in terms of speed and usage - too early to tell if that is the case.

I first used ORMs about 20 years ago. I have been saddled with trying out various ones over the intervening years. My advice, if you have to go ORM, roll your own because at least then it might do what you want and not get in the way.

Thanks, that seems to confirm my gut feeling.

Well, if the collegue can explain the added value of the extra dependency and the added complexity, then yes.
And all software-shops claim that performance is an important factor, but no-one dies if a manager has to wait a second longer for a loop to complete. Being correct is more important than being quick

More for your health. In a place where speed is the only thing and lowly developers are never right about anything, not even when they saw the desaster coming, there is only one way to save yourself: Get out of there as quickly as you can, even if that means you have to live under a bridge.
