Me: Adds "on delete cascade" foreign key to a table
Architect: "Don't do that, support likes to delete things by hand and that might make it harder for them to recover accidental deletions"
Me: 😱

Can anybody tell me, are the OS holy wars still being waged? I've been hearing MS vs Linux Vs Mac rumblings that I haven't heard for a decade. If they are coming back, is it the old guard reliving the battles of their youth? Is it a new generation who's never learned the that these wars are futile?

Is it just me or does anybody else feel the need to fill their ears with good, loud music after listening to a salesman for even a couple seconds?

I just witnessed a garbage truck pick up a trashcan while still moving, empty it, then put it down a dozen or so feet down the street. All without coming to a full stop.

We need a replacement for Bluetooth that can handle multiple input sources simultaneously. Or am I the only one who listens to music on my computer but would like to answer my phone with my wireless ear buds when it rings?

Weird coincidence: one of my 1st professional jobs was writing programs in Ada, now I'm bootstrapping a CMS to be compliant with the ADA.

For the love of all that's holy. Make sure your tests run in a vacuum as well as in the whole suite!

Holy shit, Marionette.JS documentation is horrible. I wish everything was as good as underscore.js!

Damn, strongly typed languages are so much easier to get "right." Why did scripted languages even rise this high, this fast? Is it because there's a lower barrier to entry? Because the early web was more wild west than the engineering discipline it should have been?

http:// is dead. https:// or // There's almost no valid reason to force insecure content anymore.

There is some merit to the idea that the Iron Fist logo was stolen from Batman.

hmm, I wonder if I can write a plugin to auto-translate the federated timeline. (damn my inability to learn foreign languages)

Anybody planning on going to the OWASP US conf this year? https://2017.appsecusa.org/

is it just me, or does the Skyrim logo look like an angular version of the Iron Fist logo?

My old nemesis, international time zones, we meet again.
