I call that kind of project a hamster wheel. You can keep running in it as much as you want, but never arrive anywhere. Just look at my post after yours and you know my current hamster wheel. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It is my experience that as far as developers are concerned, the effect is cause by crappy project managers and/or customers who argue internally and can't make up their mind how they want it...

Not always: I worked with one "developer" years ago who got asked to fix bug A.
The fix caused bug B, so that had to be fixed.
The fix for bug B caused bug A, so the same fix was done again.
And again.
And again.

A photon wouldn't experience Zeno's paradox since it doesn't experience time. Only an external observer would - and this is the same with software projects. Developers exist in a state without any concept of time but only external observers (managers, spouses, security guards wanting to lock the building) do.

It always amazes me how so many people can spend so much time fantasizing (they can call it "rationalising", "investigating", or "calculating" as much as they like, but it's still "fantasizing) about simple arithmetic situations that cannot happen in reality.
It's kinda the antithesis of science: in particular, Maths.

Former Formula 1 and motorcycling world champion John Surtees has died at the age of 83.
I met him on several occasions when I was involved in classic bike racing. A true great of motorsport.

Sad news. This dual achievement will probably never be repeated because of the changed nature of the sports. His passing remains totally unreported in Oz which is actually surprising.

I did a few parades, but mostly spannered. We ran a 1968/9 Ducati 250cc.

A friend of mine from Horsell raced a Vic Camp 250 Ducati in the seventies , I did a practice day at Brands on it and have the dubious honour of being lapped by a man called Barry Sheene riding an RG500 - happy days

I knew nobody around here riding Ducatis. The guy I used to go with was from Addlestone though.

BAE - did my apprenticeship there it was called Vickers then though - there's a fair chance our paths might have crossed - I got into computing via BAE ( massive inventory COBOL system ) punch cards ruled the waves.

Each passing version of Office makes it harder & harder to do simple things. You're probably right, but that option shouldn't be the default, IMHO.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Try this: click on the little "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" thingie in the upper left, select more commands and move "Save As" to the list. Now, there should be a save as disk in that toolbar. Here, that offers to save as in my documents folder.
Maybe I am lucky, Office 2016 here.

- File ⇒ Options ⇒ Save
- Untick "Show additional places for saving", and tick "Save to Computer by default".

Don't ruin a good rant with facts. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
