«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

OOO. Congrats you are the youngest here. You are yet to be born.

The big three-o! I remember that birthday it's one of the ones you think I'm all grown up now and watch cartoons...

Welcome to the ranks of the untrustworthy. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That is all well and good, but her pronunciation of "octopodes" is incorrectly stressed.

Octopussies, also known as catfish.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I used to think it should be "octopii" with a double ii ending. Then I found out it wasn't and was terribly disappointed! I wanted plurals to be like: hippopotamii (large grey quadruped), crocii (a small flower), Lexii (a luxury Japanese car)
Any more suggestions? 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

... of designing an app that has a significant and complex database back-end is coming up with a usable, yet maintainable schema... The next hardest part is presenting a UI that wraps the schema in a way that makes sense to joe-blow-idiot end user, and doesn't impede usability.

The art of database storage is to keep it simple and renundant. Raw data should be stored as raw as it gets in. Every processing should do the app.
Be consequent in separate processing code and UI code. I had to re-write a lot because of that problems.
Our coming project will have a shot with the MVVM architecture. I am fine with that because I am NOT the lead programmer. 
Press F1 for help or google it.

If it is complex enough that the experienced designer has concerns with implementation design then using formal designs such as architecture with a minimal data model would seem to be warranted.
|

You must also remember. "Never Trust user input" always validate what they are inputting.

Design from the top down (with user input).
Implement from the bottom up.

I've been having a persistent cold the last weeks, and when I developed nasty cough and quite a bit of fever on top of that I decided it was time to see the doc.
Turns out I have pneumonia.
Then I realize, my grandma died of pneumonia.
Heck, a hundred years ago it was a hit or miss if you survived a pneumonia.
So here's one  for Alexander Fleming. One of the most underrated people in history.
