Why is naming a table's Primary Key column “Id” considered bad practice? No. In your example I would probably have a CompanyOfficer or CompanyPerson table which allows a many-to-many relationship with between Company and Person with additional information about the nature of the relationship. If I were to implement it within the Company table, I would use the column names PresidentPersonID and TreasurerPersonID to preserve the *PersonID part of the name while adding the additional descriptor. inner join Person as Presidents on Company.PresidentPersonID = Presidents.PersonID |

How can dev teams prevent slow performance in consumer apps? The key point here is that for most consumer applications, performance is not a feature that sells software. It's not something that looks shiny in the checklist of "Things this software does." Computer games are a shining example of this thinking. The system requirements for games has steadily increased over time, meaning that new games are slower with the same hardware you had before, because a higher framerate is not going to move that box off the shelf, but realistic environments rendered in real time with fractal detail will... |

How do you share your craft with non programmers? I am a fan of using bad analogies to explain esoteric concepts. |

How do I convince my fellow devs to WANT to add comments to source code commits? "Make them...deal with support." is the winner for me. After having supported a legacy product for a few years, I cannot bring myself to commit code without some kind of comment. |

answered | If the purpose of a single complicated LOC is clear, would you bother to split it on to multiple lines to make its method clear as well? |

Sequel vs S-Q-L I believe this is also related to the fact that QUEL was the name of the other prominent query language back in the dark ages of RDBMS evolution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUEL_query_languages |
