Well, that's the problem I'm pointing out...if you don't have the ability to form that thought yourself...your future as a "developer" is probably quite limited.

I agree completely, but that doesn't stop people thinking they can become developers by learning Copy and Paste.

I'm just thinking of time I've wasted going over resumes...there's very little I've come to dread more in terms of work-related duties than reviewing resumes or conducting interviews.

If you are in Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio and editing code you can do CTRL-G and type a line number and go directly to that line in your source code.
My Humble Suggestion For Outlook
Please create a feature where I can do CTRL-G in the Outlook client where I can type a date in and go to the first email received on that date.
I have 14 years of email & I need to go to a specific date a couple of years ago. It is difficult to scroll (so many email they just flash by) to get to a specific date.
Also, please don't suggest search by date, because
1) I am lazy
2) the search doesn't work that great (it's quite annoying)
I want to GO directly to those email for that date.
Have you ever suffered through this also? Outlook haters, unite!

I have a simple solution. Work for a company that deletes emails more than 180 days old, regardless of their stated retention policy (2 years). They also have rendered archiving non-functional via the Office group policy.
If there's an email you need to retain, it has to be saved manually from Outlook somewhere else that the IT gestapo can't find it.
Software Zen: delete this;

Yup. My last company enacted a 6 (might have been 3) month deletion policy right after some other company's execs got in hot water due to deleted emails that had been archived. No exceptions. Actually, the policy came down from the holding company that owned the company I worked for, or maybe it was the holding company that owned that holding company.
Quote: If there's an email you need to retain, it has to be saved manually from Outlook somewhere else ...
By my company's definition there were no emails that had to be retained. Therefore they had to live with lost deleted specs, customer requests, etc. It wasn't very long before the policy was, shall we say, modified.

A previous company I worked at implemented a retention policy under somewhat similar circumstances. The top lobbyist for our local Congressman turned out to be a crook. Because of his status as the #1 for our representative the company had hired him for stuff. For that mistake we enjoyed an investigation with multiple rounds of subpoenas over several years, culminating with the feds raiding the office one day and us all being turned around at the parking lot entrance.
The investigation eventually closed with them finding no evidence of wrong doing - or IIRC ever even explicitly confirming it was due to the crook my bosses made the mistake of hiring - but management ran a series of IT projects in reaction. They banned local PST files for Outlook, enlarged the serverside storage capacity about 10x, and then gave us a few months to migrate all messages we wanted to keep out of our local files or serverside inbox into an archive folder (that was part of the quota) before an X days delete policy was applied to the inbox and PSTs were disabled. They naturally didn't allow the use of overhead to try and find the critical messages we needed to keep.
Some people went through various elaborate ways to save all their old messages ranging from backing the PSTs up to DVD, using Acrobat (not reader) to export everything into enormous PDFs, saving messages off in individual .eml files, copying all new correspondence into one note, etc. Others were were just " it, the next time our long term client asks about something we discussed in email a few years ago, I'll just tell them that the company 'Evidence Destruction Policy' means I no longer have a copy of the exchange."
Outside of IT and senior management, everyone called it the 'Evidence Destruction Policy'; and while the intent probably was to make future subpoenas less difficult to respond to while giving them cover "we didn't deliberately delete anything, it was nuked automatically as part of a retention policy" for destroying records they probably ended up making it harder because of how many people employed off the books methods to preserve their old messages that would be much harder to automate finding and searching than just pulling PST files off laptops while they're connected to the office and searching them.
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?

Wow, companies do this?
That's just waiting for trouble...
I often need some email older than six months.
Saving it manually is a sure way to never find it again (I need to search for email content or sender).

|
|

Quote: Also, please don't suggest search by date, because
Because I very seldom search emails older than 2 years (not to speak about 14 years old), it's enough comfortable to sort the search result by date...
I think you are asking for a feature which is necessary 0.1% of all cases. Think about if somebody request something like that from your products, would you really support it?
