As companies that are used to having workers in the same building struggle to find ways to work from home, one company that has been remote from Day One is GitLab . It recently published a handbook to help other companies who are facing the work-from-home challenge for the first time. Because I understand some folk might be working from home these days

Don't tell me that doing sheets, macros and VBScript is a requirement to be a great developer

Showing a crude, but nicely drawn, block chart is NOT a blueprint. It is not a design. It's just more "now magic!"
Using this logic, I can solve all the worlds problems:

The great majority of folks loved the new decompilation features in Visual Studio 16.5, but that did not stop me having to field a bunch of important questions about the history of decompilation, and ultimately when this kind of feature should be disabled. "Secret, secret. I've got a secret."

Despite admonishing directives to refactor legacy code, letting old code be is sometimes the best course of action. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of bad architectural choices, or to raise TDD against a wall of old bugs and by rewriting, end them
Uffdah. I'm done now. That wore me out.

"Uffda"?! Sharkey doesn't sound like a Norwegian name.

When I arrived in the USA (as a Norwegian), I was surprised to meet this conception that we Norwegians was saying "Uff da!" more or less all the time, as a comment to anything that is not perfect. Of course I knew the expression, but it is very rarely heard in Norway, at least in modern times. In the Midwest of the USA, everyone of Norwegian descent or who knew any Norwegian-American, claimed that their grandmother and great grandmother always said "Uff da!" to everything. As I understand it, it was more used by females than males.
Maybe it was more common in Norwegian 150 years ago, when Scandinavians settled the Midwest. Dialect researchers often go to the USA to study old dialects that have survived in a much purer form than in Norway. The survival of "Uff da!" may be a related phenomenon.
The meaning of "Uff da" is something like "That's terrible" or "Too bad". To me, it seems as if modern Midwest use is significantly "softer", more like "Ooops!", but that is not the Norwegian use; "Uff!" indicates something that surely is bad. In Norwegian, you will often see it written as "Huff da" eller "Huff a meg" or just "Huff".

I grew up next to Minnesota, and it's just a fabulous word to say (IMO).
