The efficiency of database queries in MySQL can make all the difference in the performance and responsiveness of applications. However, for 16 years since 2007, the MySQL query optimizer has had a “bug” that not only makes LIMIT 1 slower than LIMIT 10 but can also make the former a table scan, which tends to cause problems.

This wording is intentional: how work is performed reduces the probability of failure. In lifestyle terms, I may avoid certain actions that may cause cancer, but if cancer is written into my genetic code the deck is stacked against me. Reducing the probability of failure is the reduction of unforced errors.

Project managers construct elaborately detailed project plans that show business needs decomposed into tasks which are to be performed by specialists in a highly orchestrated effort. Because this team writes unit tests, they have higher code quality. This forms a script for delivery. Does unit testing lead to higher quality?

High-return business solutions don’t fit the “mass production” model, where coders repetitively apply code fragments following exacting rules and specifications. The commodity model also ignores how advanced IT systems are delivered. Responding to this challenge requires that the IT organisation have a mature governance capability.
