Software development can be a very complex process. As the code you write increases in size and complexity, it is important to keep it readable and easy to understand. In open source software development, many people collaborate on code with several interconnected and, quite often, frequently moving parts.

When the Linux 5.8 Release Candidate opened for testing recently, the big news wasn’t so much what was in it, but its size.

In the past few years, developers have used RESTful web services over HTTP(s) to expose business functions using an API. The REST API uses server-driven fixed data responses, which means a developer (client) can't determine the result of a response. Instead, the server sends all the data back to the client, which is called over-fetching. The developer (client) needs to invoke multiple REST APIs after the first call until the client gets the required data, which results in under-fetching.

A routine check I do on data tables is to see if paired fields are either both filled or both empty in each record. By "paired fields" I mean, for example, a latitude field and a longitude field. It doesn't make much sense to have a latitude without a longitude, or vice versa! The command described here will tally up the "both filled", "both empty", "only the first filled" and "only the second filled" entries.
