Re:The HTTP Query Method on Saturday November 29, 2025 @09:18PM (#46092955)
I might be misunderstanding something, but it seems the issue isn't really about whether GET can technically carry a body. The deeper concern is that HTTP methods have specific meanings, and mixing those signals can causes confusion and it's nice to have this semantic separation.

If you want your database to just store bytes, use a key-value store. But SQL gives you schemas and constraints for a reason; they're guardrails for your business logic. Just don’t ask your tables to run the business for you.

Re:Never ask a candidate to rate themselves out of 10 on Monday July 08, 2024 @06:08PM (#40910276)
I used to have this type of rating on my resume when I started my career. Over 10 years later, I can tell that today it wouldn't communicate anything.

At most you could convey that you're more proficient in language A than language B.
