Git comes with the concept of "hooks" which are scripts that get executed when and event occurs. A common use case for git hooks is to run a test suite before a commit (pre-commit) is made. If the script that is executed exits with a non-zero value (error) then the commit is prevented.
When working with a database it is a very common task to retrieve a sorted list of entities. What you might not realize is that this can be a very expensive operation.
I've been doing a lot of web scraping for various AI tools. This includes model training, and search functionality. One thing I find myself doing is generating lots of prototypes.
Each prototype requires me to write a new db schema and one thing they share in common is the need for a http_status_codes
table to record the final status response of a web page. You could store the value as an int, or string, or even as json to
make it queryable. But I feel taking the time to create and populate a table of the status codes is much more advantageous
for querying and indexing. So to help future Brian I have pasted the code used to generate this table below.
