I was wondering as well!

It's not it happens every day (far from it), I was just surprised it happens as often as it does (every few weeks).
Old legacy code written by people who where young, eager, and smart... but unfortunately not experienced. For example, they introduced events - but use them as commands. So instead of the event handler listening to whatever it needs - whatever the event needs is required to send an event targeting the handler. Yikes. If they had just used a method call it would have been a lot easier debug. When checking log files etc (what happened before we got here), correlation to the current time within 10-20 seconds is handy now and then... saves me from waiting until the minutes tick over before hitting F5.
And also for very rude check of performance check as a first step to see if it is worth profiling or anything - i.e. used to take 12 seconds - with my new change it is taking 11 - no need to investigate further. And yes, you should of course have more systematic performance test anyways - but let's just say I am looking forward to the day where lack of systematic performance test is our most serious problem.

I have been watching a Udemy course where the presenter often shows his PC screen. A couple of times when I have been viewing in full screen mode, I have glanced at the time in the bottom right-hand corner and been surprised how late it was only to realise that it was the presenter's clock on the PC in the video, not the one on my PC.

damn!
well the good news someone told me the clock is back! On the insider builds... We will have to wait...

But usually it's the PHBs who have ideas which we developers say can't be done.
I wonder if the PHB's office is bugged by the competitor.

That would be a good follow-up, to have them discover a bug in PHB's office. And naturally, it's the Elbonians!

I didn't think the Elbonians were competitors.
|
|
|
|
|
But there has to be someone to automatically blame!

The North Elbonians or the South Elbonians?

I didn't realize it was divided into North and South!

Easy peasy but I like it

I'm sure you do, now you got your booster

Don't mention the booster - we've both had side effects from it and are not quite back to normal yet. To the point where I went to bed at 8:30 on Tuesday night ...
Felt like a mild version of Covid itself, but I guess it's just our immune systems going into overdrive and saying "Elephant you!" to what it thinks is the virus again. Which is probably a good sign!

You shouldn’t answer if you’re not prepared to set one - maybe one of the others will take it
