Nurturing Design in Your Software Engineering Culture

Strategic Tech

There are a few qualities that differentiate average from high performing software engineering organisations. I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. In orgs where it’s all about delivering tickets as quickly as possible or obsessing over technology, the culture and results are poorer.

Deprecated features to take out of your toolbox – Part 2

SQL Performance

In my last post , I illustrated one reason you should stop using deprecated system tables like sysprocesses. This wasn't for performance reasons, directly, or to simply follow Microsoft's documented best practices, but revolved more around the decisions you might make when you only have access to some of the data. This time around, I want to talk about a feature included with SQL Server client tools that we should not be using these days – not just because it is deprecated but, more import

Reading a hole returns a null byte. Virtual machine images are examples of spare files. For instance, when I create a VirtualBox machine and assign it a maximum storage of 100Gb, only the storage corresponding to the actual data in the machine is consumed.
