TIL Week 8 2022
A roundup of the things I learned in the 8th week of 2022.
Technical
LAST_INSERT_ID()
in MySQL is transactional and will return the last ID per connection.- Using php PDO you need to use
beginTransaction()
in order to make your query transactional and ensure you get the last ID back correctly. - Php 8.1 enums can have methods!.
- ID Pre-Generation can be handled by your database if you use Maria DB.
Professional
- 2 months away is all it takes to get out of the habit of doing code reviews in the mornings.
- Pair programming is a good way to ease back into the habit of architecture design & coding after a break.
- Hugo is quite nice and easy to use.
- Sat in on 2 pair programming technical interviews to learn how they’re conducted.
Personal Notes
- It’s really hard to juggle a small kid and work during lockdown times.
