We’ve been having such a great time here working with your companies and products that we forgot there’s a blog out here that we theoretically should be updating on a somewhat regular basis in order to convince the world how smart we are! If you sense a tad bit of sarcasm in that statement you’re […]
Data Wisdom
The year was 2005 & I had had some excellent results predicting future news stories, trends, etc… & monetizing them. Of course being a programmer I did this programmatically. Microsoft, Google, & Yahoo were all paying me. Paying me to pollute the internet. It would be many years before they’d assert more control & frankly […]
The Cost of Competition
It stands to reason that highly productive developers will be highly competitive individuals. Having a pretty awesome team here at VeraciTek has informed us about the dynamics of this competitive edge.

Is it just us or is Azure going down the...

Remote Development plugin for VSCode. We hit this error on one of the recent updates & tried downgrading, which didn’t work because the plugin got corrupted. We got it working by upgrading back to the current version, removing the plugin (make sure you open a workspace that isn’t using it before you uninstall), downgrading to […]

Outsmarting yourself. The dangers of tec...
Some recent events have led me to reconsider my early programming days. Only a few years in but with thousands of hours and 10s of thousands of lines of code under my belt I was beginning to feel pretty confident. I had a very lucrative gig and after a few rounds of layoffs my team […]
2 Issues
2 issues have come to our attention: Firstly, complaints about valid comments not being released. This site receives hundreds of spam comments per day, and thankfully only a few make it through our filters. Of those hundreds, there are dozens that are entered manually and get queued for moderation. We have honestly just been too […]
