Since we seem to be largely Godwin-free on The Thread, I thought I'd point out this really cool article about using data to test Godwin's Law (short version, the law is broken). Further, the quote at the end about the really interesting stuff on the Internet being the conversations and our (MUCH) earlier talks about the StackOverflow approach made the whole article even more interesting.

If no raise, then let them keep the promotion.
Love the promotions where it is only a promotion in responsibility but not monetary compensation for the extra responsibility.

Went back to the train wreck... uh, I mean Jet discussion.
I just keep hearing "MongoDB is web scale" over and over.
And if anyone searches that up, fair warning, the video is NSFW.

I assume you are talking about the Jet thread. Do you think any of us have gotten out line?
Well, since I'm about 2 days out of touch and 40 posts, I can't say for sure. I don't think I've seen anything in there, but I sense frustration with some of you, including you, Lynn, which is the time to stop posting.
I'd hope you can rationally and calmly ask for something. There is some legitimate debate in what the OP noted, though he/she continues to change directions and use new examples instead of being able to explain themselves. I sense some struggle with English in there as well.
I haven't caught up, but I'd prefer to see someone actually debate the census example, give some idea of costs of building this. Look at how many people have Perl or ODBC programming skills. I think that might explain some of the rational for choosing, or not choosing the method.
Certainly if you have time and skill, but no money, creating solutions can be found. I've seen companies do well on Acess/MDB up to a point.
Steve, the OP made is clear. There is NO cost to implementing this.
I'm guessing at least a few of us don't agree.
There are also some fairly clear false statements in what he claims to be able to do with it, and none of valid points being advanced hold any weight whatsoever. After 3 or 4 posts early on in there, it felt more like banter or fish stories from OP than a true debate. If he is really building this out in a real professional setting, this borders on prof misconduct in my book, so I bowed out. no backup, no DR, security is a fantasy, and zero concurrency to speak of.
If or rather when that gem blows up, the customer/user he built this for will be SOL with a lot of data up in smoke.

Yep, there was a raise 🙂 The senior guy at our place is leaving and they're not replacing him so it was essentially an exercise in jumping through hoops to make sure I got some extra money. I will be able to call myself 'Senior Business Intelligence Analyst' though.

Last time I read anything like the train wreck story was in German lessons many many years back reading Freiherr/Baron von Münchhausen stories, suggest we from now on, in the sake of abbreviation, refer to the OP as BVM, similar to our SP (Silver sPoon, obviously no one wants to use SS for any abbreviation online these days).

Thanks for the congratulations everybody. I think the scariest thing about how far I've come in the last two and half years is realising how far I've got to go :ermm:
I don't think I'm going to look too far in to Jet though.
