Why would it go to Meta?

Even the 'worst' of the ORMs (according to the people in these threads) makes this very easy:

  users = User.find_by_sql(<<~SQL)
    SELECT users.*,
           COUNT(posts.id) AS posts_count
    FROM users
    LEFT JOIN posts ON posts.user_id = users.id
    GROUP BY users.id
    HAVING COUNT(posts.id) > 10
  SQL

  users.first.posts_count
  # => 17

I'm firmly on the ORM side of things, despite knowing SQL very well -- but your IDE/editor can fix this with bare sql. Try using Jetbrains Datagrip or the DB integration in Idea or one of the other language-specific IDEs.

I'm not defending anything about this, but it does have a telescoping torso so it can get to 'human height' when needed.

Sure they do. All the time! For example, if you want to use a script in Google Docs these days, you have to go through an oauth flow to give that script's app permission to do certain actions in your Docs.

I think we need a citation about the libertarian / capitalism thing? I know a lot of leftist engineers. Look how blue the bay area votes?

I think the idea that they raise outdoor temps over a wide area is a myth spread on facebook. The physics doesn't work out.

Or just ask if you might want to do something productive while you wait for a train or sit in a taxi? Better than doom scrolling. Maybe you're working on a fun side project.

goroutines make building scalable network (web) servers trivial and fast. I'm not a big fan of the language, but the runtime is fantastic.
