  • RE: Artist or Scientist?

    Makes total sense, but I don't visit SSC to be told what I must or must not do. Maybe I'm having a bad day 😎

  • RE: Verify SQL Backup Integrity

    We have a very similar setup, which works very well and has saved us from catastrophe a few times now.

    Approach all problems with the belief they can be solved.

    And if you can't, it's time to find a different profession.

    We make our living solving mysteries.

    ... and preventing them...

  • RE: Never give up

    All good, positive stuff, but it sounded a bit like the sermon on the mount!

    I'm not sure I've ever heard buggy code, bad design, and lack of security standards or QA referred to as an 'emergent practice' or 'breakthrough idea' before.

    Decision makers rarely understand what's under the hood.

    Then along came the likes of COBOL which made so-called 'programmers' of those who weren't and shouldn't have been.

    Horses for courses: if you produce a product using Cobol, you...

    This is exactly why I oppose the development of computer controlled vehicles.

    I'm kinda hoping that the software controlling automatic cars will fall under similar standards as airplane (particularly...

  • RE: Why Don't We Have Better Practices?

    You've come full circle behind my original post 😛 I agree: imposing standards is expensive, but making those standards optional gives flexibility.

    I was stating two view points: on one hand, it is pretty impossible to get complex software - such as SQL Server - completely bug free. On the...

    ... software is very complex and you can't expect something like SQL Server to be completely bug free, but on the other hand do we just have to...

  • RE: Why Don't We Have Better Practices?

    Software and IT operations for the banking sector are already regulated, and rightly so. So too is software for military and health purposes. But it isn't reasonable to impose the...

  • RE: Is Rolling Back The Same as Failing?

    I'm going to disagree. ... don't make an excuse for the failure.

    I think it's kind of odd that the team felt badly about this. The team should feel satisfied that their procedures are correct.
