#bonding over code

J: Yeah. I played around with it last week. I think I have a good idea as to what it can and can not do.

J's Mother: Good. Good.

J's Mother: You know where our satellite office is?

J: ...yes

J's Mother: Great. I'll schedule a demo with you guys.

J: a demo.

J: Like, a presentation?

J: That I prepare?

J: And then present?

J's Mother: Yeah.

J's Mother: You know, you don't really need me there.

J's Mother: I'll just say it'll just be you.

J:

J: Well, this is escalating quickly.

J: Why are we telling them about AutoHotKey, again?

J's Mother: Well, they don't do unit testing. And they were thinking about using Selenium, but your father recommended AHK.

J: So, they'll have questions about comparing it to Selenium.

J: Which I will also need to learn.

J: And how they relate to unit testing.

J: Which I don't do.

J's Mother: You probably shouldn't tell them that.

J: "Blatantly lie to a large room of strangers"

J's Mother: It's a multi-dimensional database.

J: I'm not convinced I know what that is.

J's Mother: They're like databases, but they're object-oriented.

J: I... have no idea what that means. But it sure sounds shiny?

J's Mother: So you have 3 dimensions: your [rows], your [columns], and then you can have classes, with things like age or gender.

J: So, they're columns?

J's Mother: No, you can search for data within the classes by the class, and search more efficiently.

J: A) - I'm not sure that made sense.

J: B) - I think I understand.

J: So, they're like columns, but columns that only apply to some of the rows, and this is just a way to keep those columns from having missing values.

J's Mother: Yes.

J's Mother: Like penis length.

J:

J:

J's Mother: Because only some-

J: Yes, I got it.

J: Just...

J: Way to keep it work appropriate.

J's Mother: hehe

J's Mother: Oh, I hope no one heard me.

J's Mother: Before you were born.

J's Mother: Now, you are not to make fun of it.

J: I make no promises.

J's Mother: You're not allowed to laugh.

J: We'll see about that.
