> There is no low-level API to SQL servers to create competition, so this is like saying CSS has no competition in browsers whatsoever.

Yes... but there is only one Web, and many databases. Some of them don't use SQL. They are, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many other developers, inferior. They lost in the market in a fair fight.

Also if SQL sucks so much you can compile to SQL, like TS->JS. Many such solutions exist. All worse than SQL.

> ORMs with their "relations" etc are basically better DSLs over SQL databases which try to hide rough edges from an innocent user.

ORMs are developed by software engineers for software engineers. It's kind of silly to picture them as "innocent" or incapable to understand the relational model.

Does having an operational semantics make a language not declarative? That's not how I use words. Is Haskell not functional because it runs on a GRS?

For the rest of your post you're arguing about either syntax, stuff you solve with CTEs, or stuff you would just hand off to the programming language, so I'll just leave it at that.
I don't think we will ever understand the amount of death, literally, that Monsanto's products have caused. And what's worse is they were fully aware all along, and still the US government had their back.

Pretty strong chance the “noticers” are on-prem, not remote, and may be (literally) prejudiced.*

Also, bit of indication in “hard numbers out of project mgmt system” and “all the little asides, ahas…” coupled with “unless they have their headsets on the whole time” that your company may have optimized for local ideas and local capture.

Consider (a) ensuring project and idea capture tools are “remote first” oriented (tools that work remotely work just fine in office, inverse is not true), such as dropping whiteboards and using digital collaborative tools for whiteboarding even locally, e.g. …

- Excalidraw+
- Microsoft Whiteboard
- Samsung Flip2
- Microsoft Surface Hub

… and (b) experimenting with elevated telepresence beyond just the green/yellow/red dot:

- https://www.remotion.com/

You have to be radical about this: “If it didn’t happen in [remote-first tool], it didn’t happen.”

This was the single most important contributor to the culture change at firms I’ve helped go fully remote since the 90s. The nanosecond something elevates from chit chat into an action, everyone in the company needs to gate-keep: “Could you please share/ask/direct that in [the digital place]?”

The second most important was ensuring [the digital place] is frictionless, using social media habit apps as benchmarks, not, say, Jira.

In my experience, after initial chaos, then learning, then crossing a tipping point, productivity went through the roof, and following that, these firms absolutely spanked on-prem only firms at caliber of talent and pace of delivery of outcomes into client hands.

I met both software developers and project managers working on search. Well, they're now at Bing Search. It's mostly NDAs plus the occasional research paper. They're not ashamed, it's simply a very hard problem to get right at that scale.
I've started to build a search engine as a hobby side project (I'm three weekends in. It's very much inspired by marginalia, but with different content, curation, and UX goals. I have beefy hardware at home that can see it through.) My early crawl architecture plans actually mirror this new scheme, so it's delightful to have a bit of confirmation I'm on a mildly correct track.

One of my long-running side projects has been to do a lot of web-scraping on a website with continually evolving content, that's related to the economics of a side business, and yeah—we hit a lot of those growing pains of a monolithic scraper (poor debugging, unexplained re-crawling, waiting too long for a crawl plan, rare race conditions w/ multiple scrapers), averted by this model.

I kinda want to know how the big G does their crawling—I watch all the different googlebots hit my many websites, but I'm curious to see their architecture of prioritization and analysis—but a lot of the analysis is definitely the resulting sauce that should be kept somewhat proprietary and secret.
Yeah it's really a catch there that requires folks be there.

The extension author docs [1] say that extensions _should_ obey the global setting, even if using their own telemetry libraries:

> Extension authors who wish not to use Application Insights can utilize their own custom solution to send telemetry. In this case, it is still required that extension authors respect the user's choice by utilizing the isTelemetryEnabled and onDidChangeTelemetryEnabled API.

I suppose the quote in the article is technically correct, because there's no guarantee that _will_ follow this. I'm curious if I could report an extension for abuse and have it removed if it doesn't honor the global setting.

The article also says

> Microsoft’s C# extension (ms-vscode.csharp) sends data to Microsoft. There does not appear to be any setting offered by the extension to turn telemetry off.

I unzipped the extension and looked at the package.json, and it appears to use Microsoft's recommended extension-telemetry library, so I presume it is following the global setting.

I wish Microsoft required extensions to publish detailed telemetry info (or, really, info on any and all external connections an extension might make) on their Marketplace page.

I think that's an overstatement. I've been more remote than not for close to 20 years and 90%+ remote for close to 10.

this is a fun read. I've long said that government agencies, heads of state and other influential public figures are obvious candidates for running their own ActivityPub installations (or in paying competent people to do that, which shockingly Twitter, Inc. could be in the business of hosting/selling).

My (somewhat limited) experience working at semi-large tech companies (several thousand employees) was that my team and closely related teams were mostly located close together (same floor, often same area of the floor). I imagine certain roles need to collaborate across a broader number of teams and so maybe they derived less value from being in the office together, but it seemed like for most of engineering we were mostly well situated for in-office collaboration.

Do really large companies tend to forgo locating related teams closely together?

> Why did people have bandwidth instead of time?

Because "bandwidth" isn't about having time to deal with an issue. It's about the mental capacity and effort necessary to process the issue. When you're working on complex multi-step issues, even if you have time between steps to handle another issue, you may not have the mental capacity to add that effort into what you're already doing without losing focus on the primary task. "Bandwidth" indicates the ability to recieve, process, and return information in a timely manner, not just the time itself.

I'm curious if there is a multiplier a company could pay you personally to convince you to endure the commuting stress and inflexibility of an in-person office?

We really need more 6 hour work days on remote though. 8 hours on remote can often be just as tedious as being in office with productivity monitoring that companies do.

At this point Slack should be running with full "voice to text capability... Even TikTok can transcribe audio. Too many things are just tedious and time consuming to do within modern companies. The pandemic gave so many a break to realize that for many roles, remote works better, yet productivity tools haven't innovated much to ease the transition.

Companies will save tons of money on real estate and office equipment alone on a move to remote work, and the ability to hire independent of physical location is a big benefit of normalizing remote work. My biggest concerns in the evolution of remote work are usually security and authenticity, which always prove to be quickly evolving threats.

TL;DR work top down

System engineer here. After noting any flow down requirements from higher levels (e.g. regulations, safety, security, language, operating system, usability, availability, quality, corporate standards, coding standards, maintainability, etc.), I find it useful to first define the highest level (context) of your system, write out the concept of operation and define the major interfaces and then work down/in from there. A set of diagrams can really help with this process. And a spreadsheet and numbering system helps for traceability. Good luck.
