Gary Delaney's advice to comics

Gary Delaney's advice to comics

https://twitter.com/GaryDelaney/status/1237328585142263808

"Sometimes young comics ask me for advice. Here's some I gave in a recent interview which they seem to have printed pretty much in full. It might be useful to a few of you. Feel free to disagree on it of course. My map may not be your map."

As for the advice I would give to younger comedians starting out, it would be to say that talent is abundant, the willingness to work hard is rare. Write every day. Gig every night. You'll progress.

Don't speak too fast, stick to your time, do a litte pause before the funny bit, don't waffle, fake confidence, hold the mic near your mouth, be polite, and stay in the light.

CQRS, Task Based UIs, Event Sourcing agh!

CQRS, Task Based UIs, Event Sourcing agh!

Posted by gregyoung on February 16, 2010

Many people have been getting confused over what CQRS is. They look at CQRS as being an architecture; it is not. CQRS is a very simple pattern that enables many opportunities for architecture that may otherwise not exist. CQRS is not eventual consistency, it is not eventing, it is not messaging, it is not having separated models for reading and writing, nor is it using event sourcing. I want to take a few paragraphs to describe first exactly what CQRS is and then how it relates to other patterns.

CQRS Command and Query Responsibility Segregation

Starting with CQRS, CQRS is simply the creation of two objects where there was previously only one. The separation occurs based upon whether the methods are a command or a query (the same definition that is used by Meyer in Command and Query Separation, a command is any method that mutates state and a query is any method that returns a value).
