We were asked recently if a new developer should work on specializing in an area, or become a generalist.

We recently performed an application upgrade and made hardware changes to our server. Turns out that was not a good idea on our part.

Multiple Tenants Create MULTIPLE Processes

working as designed — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 11:30:00 +0000

We recently switched our application from single tenant mode, to multi-tenancy. If we ran one site things worked good. Once we added a second client to the mix, the system tanked.

Turns out virtual directories use more resources than expected.

Tales of a Release Gone WRONG!

working as designed — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 11:35:00 +0000

We had a rough release, where Stripe upgraded their webhook version and we found out during the release. So were against a clock to make sure the system was ready within the next few hours.

I'm sure we all have stories like this one. Join the discussion and let us know what your experience is!

When we were updating our legacy ASP.NET WebForms application, we needed to add Dependency Injection. We talk about what considerations we had in the level of refactoring we could make, and what framework we decided to use.

This got us into a small discussion about what is an AntiPattern and why they are bad.

We were challenged to integrate a legacy ASP.NET Web Forms application and modernize it with Angular. We needed to have two applications running side by side to make this work. Feel free to listen to how we approached the challenge of navigating both systems.

Refactoring Your Legacy Code Covertly!

working as designed — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 11:30:00 +0000

We are reminiscing on how we needed to build a system with no outage to our clients. Single Sign-On was a huge part of that, and having a solid team to make it happen.

Is a Degree worth it?

working as designed — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:34:00 +0000

We come from two different backgrounds. One has a degree while the other is self taught. It was interesting to talk about how our backgrounds really impacted breaking into and staying in the field.
