Seconded, but I've only done Access VBA. God I hate those strings, especially in queries. Never ever on the first try.

As a VB developer, I'm still trying to figure out what issues they're solving.

When I was a junior developer, one of the most difficult skills I had to develop was reading code, or more specifically, understanding a large code base. Print it off - then you can fold it into a nice hat
Oh, wait. That's how to wrap a large code base around your head. Never mind.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

That post makes too many assumptions such as the junior dev knows anything about the processes, languages, frameworks, tools, build and test processes, and omits key points like teaming up with a senior dev for mentoring. As with most thinking about what programming is, the post assumes code is the thing and completely ignores the reality that code is in many ways the least of the things a junior dev needs to first learn.

So the actors on a fictional space series are having their ashes sent to space on a fictional rocket. 
Before anyone flames me, I'm a big fan of Star Trek, including Nichelle Nichols. I just don't have much hope that Blue Origin and ULA will get their act together and actually get the Vulcan rocket to space.

Users disappointed with the lack of new features in the latest Windows 11 build 25188 will be delighted to know that the update contains a neat UI change. Why just make new icons, when you can animate them?
This is why we need leash laws for designers

Finding yet another way to bring the fastest PCs to their knees. The first thing I do when I prep a machine for a new user is turn off all animations.

Hmmm. The seat is a bit like a window, but the lid is more like a door. 🤔
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?
