Unreadable." I beg to differ. Whoever knows to write SQL (and I know you do!) should find this convenient. "As to speed, I believe that the additional abstraction layers certainly cause some performance loss." A small performance loss is acceptable. However, when queries become complex, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot without noticing. I think it all depends on how fancy your db queries are. I’m a bit biased. :-)

Andrerseits kann das wilde Tippen der Meeting-Teilnehmer auch ein Indiz für einen schlechten Sitzungsleiter sein: Keine Traktanden, keine Timebox, schlaffe Moderation...

Auf seine Bitte hin habe ich mein Protokoll nicht publiziert. Aber für jemanden wie mich, der ein papierloses Büro hat und keine handschriftlichen Notizen mehr macht, ist die Regel nonsense. Aber es ist natürlich richtig, Mann muss sich dann schon sehr fokussieren und sich nicht von den zahlreichen Ablenkungen verführen lassen...
