Aardvark’d: 12 Weeks with Geeks is a 2005 documentary film about the development of Fog Creek Copilot, a remote assistance software tool. Conceptualization of the film began when Fog Creek Software CEO Joel Spolsky announced on his blog that he was seeking a filmmaker to document the development of the product, then called Project Aardvark.[1][2]

What is it like to work with Microsoft’s Dave Cutler?
Dave is one of the most inspiring people I worked with (not closely, to be clear). Not only did he lead the team that built a new OS from scratch that was still compatible with DOS-based Windows, with many features on day one that took years to arrive in competitor’s products, he personally designed and coded the portable, multithreading, multiprocessor, secure NT kernel. He was brilliant.

Ex-Microsoft programmer Dave Plummer: I wrote Task Manager
The Microsoft developer who wrote Task Manager, along with other utilities and games, has popped up to „write this stuff down before I forget it all“.
A post on Reddit goes into detail about the tool, familiar to every Windows expert, which if you are lucky lets you terminate errant applications or processes, as well as providing some handy stats on how your PC is or is not performing.
Dave Plummer, or davepl, „started in MS-DOS in 1993 and spent a little more than a decade at Microsoft, leaving after Server 2003“, he told the University of Regina. He talked about the challenges of „coding for a billion machines“, saying: „It’s like you’re building one bull to be released into an infinite number of china shops.“

Do you want to query complex data structures in an iterative way? Do you have access to hierarchical data structures that need to be queried? This course will teach you the tools required to solve these questions. You will learn how to write recursive queries and query hierarchical data structures. To do this, you will use Common Table Expressions (CTE) and the recursion principle on a wide variety of datasets. You will, for example, dig into a flight plan dataset and learn how to find the best and cheapest connection between two airports. After completing this course, you will understand the principle of recursion, and be able to identify and create hierarchical data models.

This article aims at showing good practices on how to retrieve data with SQL using practical examples on the data above. The following topics are covered:
- operations on columns
- most common joins
- aggregations and window functions
- tips to handle complex queries

Have you ever wondered about the differences between a subquery and a common table expression (CTE) in SQL? The concepts seem very similar, but knowing the difference – and when to use each one – will help you write efficient and readable queries.
