I got annoyed with these predatory tablet games so nudged my daughter towards console games.

Managed to actually do one of these for the first time yesterday. Not the best I'm happy with it.

We were nosql once in prod, using it to store empty records and we just checked the filenames occasionally. Should have just been a list/column in a 'proper' DB

I suspect someone either wanted to try it once or planned to actually store some data in those records and spec/implementation changed.

There are stories of people just using a photo of a random adult from the internet, pretty sure the people this is aiming to protect won't figure that out.

For clarity, I also used the photo method, using my actual face, mainly because I didn't think about scamming it

I keep jumping back to rider instead (which is great) but if I just want to nip into a file to make a quick couple of changes I don't always want to switch project, wait for indexing etc.
