"flavour inspired by". That wording alone makes me cringe.

#beprecise ...or it will come back to bite you. Or you get to deal with me and you don't want that.

Datatype Discipline – Even more so in 26ai I know … I know … I probably sound like a broken record. As I scroll back through my blog archives, I see myself continuously bleating on about using data types carefully in the databas…

Yup, I'm back again talking about not relying on implicit datatype conversions 😀. Read this before upgrading to 26ai, especially for APEX.

"irregardless". Should of / could of / would of.

If your lumps are either pineapple shaped or sized...you should consult a doctor.

Not really. You can geek out over the fact that apparently you're flying in a Heinkel.

Modern "content" is as flavourful and nourishing to the mind as soggy toast bread. Perfect for the brainrot generation. Unwatchable otherwise.

Reading off of slides, talking to the wall/projected slide deck in stead of the audience, more "err" "hummm" "errr" than content, stretched 2min google search and 5min doc reading to a full talk, clearly had never DONE a single of the things which were presented

I can still remember when "Raider" was renamed to "Twix" in the German-speaking countries.

Tickled my OCD enough to merit a response. It's a cross pattée and goes back at least to the 7th century.

That's cute, human, that you have feelings. Now feed me so I can ignore you more ;)
