As part of our customer engagement, we have defined a naming convention for GitHub repositories.
We have ideas around what conventions made sense, although the type of work influences these. As we tend to spend some of your engineering time working with different languages, conventions around naming formats make sense to the engineers. These, of course, might not make sense to individuals in other fields.

“I need a good friend I can always gist with.”
It is always good to chat with others, which is how we learn from each other. So why don’t project teams chat with each other? In this day and age of working from home, it is becoming more and more critical to form a social network, which helps not only with mental health but also work-related ideas and time.

OpenShift is Kubernetes, but it is also more than Kubernetes it is a collection of other software services that gives you the ability to run an entire Kubernetes environment, which includes:

Continue reading Hosted Background timer taskA little hidden gem within .Net Core is the ability to run a Hosted Service inside the application. This allows for your service to run in a different thread to the main application, but keeps everything together though the need to host a separate service.

The idea is to use Enum.GetValues() method to get an array of the values of the constants in the enum. To get an IEnumerable<T> of all the values in the enum, call Cast<T>() on the array. To get a list, call ToList() after casting.
The fastest way to perform a SQL record count is:
DECLARE @TableName sysname
SET @TableName = 'Log'
SELECT TBL.object_id, TBL.name, SUM(PART.rows) AS rows
FROM sys.tables TBL
INNER JOIN sys.partitions PART ON TBL.object_id = PART.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.indexes IDX ON PART.object_id = IDX.object_id
AND PART.index_id = IDX.index_id
WHERE TBL.name = @TableName
AND IDX.index_id < 2
GROUP BY TBL.object_id, TBL.name;
