I've always wondered why SQL didn't have something like an EXCLUDE clause to make this easier for tables with lots of columns where you wanted a large number of them in the result. Something like (table with columns a through z):

SELECT * EXCLUDE g, m, p, x FROM table

Really wish they would change the word 'Hacked' to 'Stolen' in the title.

This is such a wonderful resource, I wish we had it when first building our app, which uses no frameworks or libs. We do use TypeScript to generate it, hard to pass up the benefits and syntax it provides.

As an original KS backer, that is awesome news to hear! You produced a wonderful code base and I learned a ton from your blog posts and streams. Any thoughts of streaming/blogging about the progress in the future?

I generally think the same these days, but it made me recall 10-15 years ago when I was consulting and considered a company having no source control a place where I could provide immediate value. Now it just scares me right out the door.

This has been a ongoing problem in the entire NFL, not just in New England.

I can only provide anecdotal evidence, and I was not officially diagnosed with it, but I definitely have plenty of the issues listed. Since I adopted the Pomodoro Technique (25min work, 5min break), I have noticed that a lot of my symptoms have subsided. My biggest issues were headaches and blurry vision.

I can't wait to use some of the new features in our production apps. Typescript is/was my bridge into javascript development, because IMHO javascript was a broken language for a long time, and I am not sure if I could have ever done as much as I have without its existence.

Non-nullable types, tagged union types, and easy declaration file acquisition are definitely the biggest wins for me with this release.

Very cool tip, although I use notepad++ for this because even if I shut everything down it saves any new tabs I opened as temp files without me giving it a second thought.

Four times does seem excessive, but I have been called back by companies to interview for other positions in the past. I wasn't a fit for some reason in the first instance, but my information was saved and presented again when another opportunity came up that they thought I would be a fit for.

Reservoir Dogs was what popped into my head when I saw the title.

This is the biggest thing I miss from my consulting days. I would never work a 5-day week. It would either be a 3-day or 4-day week, leaving lots of time for travel, family and hobbies.

Sadly, I could never see our clients accepting any business day where we are not available during regular business hours.

This was really exciting news to me, until I read that they would never consider doing this for the higher tiers. We are currently active subscribers for both platforms that we paid for annually in March, which prevents us from switching to this model and being able to spread our costs. We would love to be able to upgrade to a higher tier using a monthly cost rather than a large payment each year, especially for Visual Studio integration.
