A team of physicists from Israel has designed...
xkcd: Physicists[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Let me ask you a question: How much value do you think your source code has? Enough rope, as they say
If source code isn't valuable, try writing a program without it

I didn't know when I wrote my first article. I killed an entire company with my first article; it was on UNDU, before CodeProject. If printed, less than two pages worth.
The company was "ExceptionalMagic"; they sold a package that would give Delphi users the exact file and line of their exception, like VB already did. And I wrote an article, explaining the same, using the map file (a debug file) to map the memory location to a disk-location. It was a pricey product, and I gave the source code away. Along with some explanation on how it worked.
And added a bloody large bug that only a beginner could introduce, causing any app to use it to take minutes to shut down. In Delphi, you don't delete the first item of the list to clear it. If you delete the last item, all oke. But deleting the first item means reallocating the memory and copying the damn list. Took five minutes on our software on shutdown and some stern looks before I realized my mistake.
Dunno how large the company was and dunno what it was worth. I don't wanna know either, I was young and there was code.
..later on, I progressed to a 14.000 euro bug. But that's another story entirely

Microsoft calls Viva "the first EXP built for the digital era," and it's here to help people have a healthier work life. In-office bartender?
Or for Chris, I guess a sommelier?

So this is the official excuse for the Office 365 productivity statistics? They need all the data to help us from ourselves helping us to have a healthier work life and a better balance?

The opening sentence to the article:
Quote: Microsoft Viva is a new platform from Microsoft that aims to improve the employee experience.
There's a better (although maybe not easier) solution: higher better programmers to make the applications to begin with. So far as I can tell, MicroSloth has been affirmatively avoiding this particular pathway.

Alas, its just that I've always sucked at spelling and spellcheckers, as we well know, don't help much.
I will add that I had my highest HS grad average and University GPA's when I spent more time with the appropriate "herbal stimulants".
Some places offer nice perks - like free snack food, meals, etc., and so this could be added in with the rest. Good for employee solidarity and labor relations.
