Well actually, oh no. I wanted to love it, I really did. Sadly, it was better than Prometheus, just. The plot twist was obvious and the whole thing left me feeling meh. I am just glad Jen and I didn't pay good money to see it.

My hopes have been low since Prometheus.

Actually, it might have been one or two movies before then.

I thought that, as a community, we all agreed that steaming pile of movie didn't happen.

TBH, I think it would be preferable to agree that there have only been two Alien movies.

I'm willing to accept Ressurection as a strange but welcome addition to the library.

because Windows 10 can boot too quickly for you to miss the beep or pressing F2...

If you miss the time window to hit F2, it's not because the operating system loads "too quickly".

It's the hardware that is too fast, not the PoC OS that is winio.

Why?
Because it makes querying SQL databases easy, making you more productive and making you deliver more in the same amount of time?*

Did they brainwash update you again?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Because you're using another ORM or not using .NET or SQL?
Those are really the only three explanations I have for not needing EF

with experience far better to swim without water wings, they severely limit style and throttle optimisation.

I don't really need EF to generate my queries in a certain style... 
When I need optimization EF has certain options, when they aren't enough I can still opt-out of EF in that one instance.
For example, EF can't handle recursive queries, so I write those by hand (and use EF to execute it).
When optimization is a problem I use an SP, but something like context.SomeTable.Where(t => t.Id == id).ToList() can't really be optimized even if I wrote it by hand.

a.) another ORM -> No
b.) not using .NET ->No
c.) not using SQL ->No
But I like to have it under my control. Sooner or later I think a lot of users of EF comes to this conclusion.

You like to write all those SELECT statements by hand time and time again?
When I want to be in control I take control, all those other times I use EF (which is most of the time).
The only optimization I can do to something like context.SomeTable.Where(t => t.Id == id).ToList() is removing the []'s from the generated query...

SELECT TOP 1 Description
FROM TimeWasters
ORDER BY TimeTaken DESC
-----------------------------------------------
Description

Writing and mapping simple SQL queries by hand.
string topTimeWaster = context.TimeWasters
.OrderByDescending(t => t.TimeTaken)
.Select(t => t.Description)
.First();
Console.WriteLine(topTimeWaster);

EF is less error prone as it's all strongly typed as well!

Perhaps it is only an age phenomenon (I'm pretty old;) ) doing things like this still explicitely by myself.
On the other Hand, if I do it by myself, even it takes me some minutes more, it makes me thinking what I'm doing, which I think is very helpfull.
You are happy with EF, I'm happy with my way. No Need to fight about it
