Grant | Dev

🚨 Coming soon: my latest tutorial “Querying Data in DynamoDB”, I’ll walk you through the core concepts of DynamoDB, GSI, pagination, Scan vs Query, and more The tutorial will be aimed predominantly at C# devs (SDK + code examples), but the concepts are language-agnostic.

Yeah it sucks man. Gone are the days where there was an actual surprise at PPVs anymore. I mean the fact WWE don’t even hide surprises themselves anymore. They missed out on huuuge pop for the Demon. Even Finn said in recent interview he wished they’d not promoted it as demon cos he loved the surprise of it all. It’ll Still pop, but can you have imagined the roar seeing demon just outta nowhere.

@grantdotdev When they leak comebacks or what happens inside the ring, it kills all the magic, there has been no limit

¡Por fin regresa Paige a WWE! Lo malo: Los spoilers en internet me arruinaron la emoción #WrestleMania.

@ClownBall9 Let’s not even mention Jade C then haha 😝

AJ Lee has only had 2 title defenses in 4 months. Yet people wanna complain about Roman when her ass barely showed up.

@ClownBall9 He was running too fast - bottled it , tried to pull it at last minute and ended up hitting thigh / nut shot. Once again another botched spear from Bron. Just don’t run so fast and connect fully, as not to actually injure someone , and keep it consistent.

Bron Breakker is so dogshit man. He only does a spear and he can't even do em properly. Lets be thankful we have Trick, Oba and Ja'von.

@LobotomisedSpy Biggest botch of the night. I think he bottled it and thought he was running too fast and tried to pull it at the end.

BRON HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MISS THAT SHIT #Wrestlemania

@vurawrestling 3* had expected more tbh. Thought was be more Old skool - think bob holly vs al snow in the Mississippi River style

MATCH RATING OUT OF 5 STARS #WrestleMania

@WrestlingColSoc Much better storylines to play out because of this outcome

Que Becky recupere el titulo es lo más acertado #WRESTLEMANIA #WWEColombia

@Rag1nPanda I remember in the ol’ days they had the Times Square party 🎉

WTF IS CLUB WWE...HAHAAHAHA DIDNT THEY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT ALREADY...#ADMANIA #WrestleMania

@TheMovementXx I feel like I’ve watched the whole of the Hulk Hogan documentary via the adverts.

A commercial break at WrestleMania is the most blasphemous thing I have ever experienced. DISGUSTING! #WrestleMania

@klerik_vaira Surprised they didn’t bring in Vicky D’Errico - but we all know why Jess is there.

GET JESSICA OUT OF THERE ... Fuck #Wrestlemania

@GameWithJosh__ Feel like I’ve watched the whole thing so far

Far too many ads in #WrestleMania don’t need to watch the hulk hogan documentary anymore 😅 just get on with the matches and let us enjoy it

@ClaireTheFan Worst kept secret on the web, IWC been calling it for months.

I wish Paige was kept a secret #wrestlemania

Oba vs Brock is the main event in my eyes Rhea vs Jade should have been an “I Quit” match CM Punk vs Roman 😴 agree Ladder match will be lit 🔥 Viper v McIntyre would have been a better fight Creating a Cody v Fatu feud would have been better for costing him the title etc.

I don’t feel WrestleMania at all. No hype. No energy. The stage looks terrible. Orton vs Cody got completely messed up. Roman vs Punk feels underwhelming. Jade vs Rhea… 💔 There’s zero excitement for the main events. We’re cooked.

@Surendar__05 Same thing I say to all my junior devs and seniors tbh. “Just because microwave meals exist are are more convenient, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn to cook” 👨‍🍳

Be honest developers, Is coding still worth learning in the AI era?

@Dominos_UK what happened to these cookies. How did these get past quality control 🍪 🚫 very different to what was advertised.

@DevLeaderCa @AnthropicAI @GitHubCopilot They should sort out their pricing strategy first. Two different prices , two different savings whether you sign up via iOS mobile app, or their web based option. Save 10% vs 17% and 2 monthly costs

So @AnthropicAI @GitHubCopilot -- I would like my money back. At least I know my job is safe for a little while longer, because apparently, the LLMs can also get tired.

@AnthropicAI @claudeai how come you’re charging two different prices on web vs iOS app 👀 ? larger annual saving on web ? Surely these have to be same ? want to ensure I’m getting a fair and just price - why the discrepancy. Reward for spotting this error ? 🤔

@claudeai why is my upgrade options two different prices on web upgrade vs upgrading via iOS app ? This is surely unfair bias.

The usual senior / lead cop out of “it depends”. If I’m building a PoC app , something really lightweight that needs to be thrown together quickly. I usually opt for EF , just down to the speed I can setup and get going without writing all the SQL, and such. For performance critical systems, or systems where I need more control over the querying I’d always opt for dapper. Lightweight, gives control back to the dev.

What's your experience with Entity Framework vs Dapper? Which do you prefer for data access, and why?
