-

Separate Async processing compute from compute hosting end user occupied threads. 


They have different scaling, security, acid compliance, eventual consistency and other concerns.

IDE Gripes

-
Who thought "closing character type over" was a good idea? "type over closing quotes or brackets." If you are ever trying to nest brackets, which is a large portion of the time, then this feature makes the ide completely unusable.  In what world, should an intentional keystroke, to insert a parenthesis, ever be considered by your IDE to, by default, be the wrong move?  If I look at a closing parenthesis, and I decide hey, I think I need a second, and I explicitly set my cursor there and type in a parenthesis, why in the name of someone important, would I want the IDE to just automatically undo that.  "Yeah we.. uh we don't think you wanted it enough.

The World of Conceptual Data Modeling

-
The virtual world.  The world of conceptual data modeling. It has rules. Rules as undeniable and irrefutable as the laws of physics.  There are ways that concepts can be assembled, and ways that they can't. #SoftwareEngineering #DataModeling #Software #Data Trouble is, most of us data modelers do not fully understand these rules.  And so we keep trying to do magic. It's important to understand these things about your data. Is it a Reference Type? Or is it a "scalar value" type?     The latter mans that if an identical value of this conceptual type exists in two or more places, it exists as a copy. ( and importantly SHOULD  exist as a copy ) Is it a "primary" or "singular" concept, or is it a relation between two distinctly and independently referenceable concepts?  Is it a "concrete" concept or an abstraction/type union? ( this can apply to both singular and relation type concepts ) "Child Entities" are a myth. At least child en...

Thread Local Storage ( Or Async Local Storage in JavaScript World )

-
Use thread Local Storage to separate the concern of contextual state propagation, from the domain specific concern you are trying to implement. This makes your domain code more portable. And your method signatures easier to parse. It's clear what's needed for the method and what is just needed to ensure any downstream code can access the operating context for tech level concerns such as authentication, caching, APM and transaction management.
