Either one of these would be my dream project.
1 - Working as a developer manager for the development portion of a business where things are not going well. I would require the authority to run the development team as I see fit, but helping the developers who work for me to get back on track, improve their skills and knowledge, and straighten our what is wrong with the software, preferably as a team. One example might be software product(s) still all or mostly in VB6, but needs to be in .NET (C# or VB.NET) and designed for desktop/laptop, mobile, web, touch and non-touch,. etc. in order to be competitive in the marketplace.
2 - Assembling my own "Skunkworks" team at a company to design the next generation of existing software, creating prototypes of new software, so the company is meeting marketplace changes. The team would need to understand the market the company works in, business in general, as well as advanced in their skills as developers. Build it, document it, test it with potential users, make changes as necessary, and once in a workable, useful state, turn it over to the regular development team to maintain and extend.

I bought a four pack of beer for my 2 hour train journey from Budapest to Balatonfured. It's good beer.
It should be at 6.5%[^]!
To counter any "not fair" blubbers, in 4 weeks we've actually had at tops 3 days break, the rest has been all those jobs on the house that don't get done at the weekend when you're a 1,000 miles from home.

Ingredients: water, barley malt, corn grits, hops, yeast, Bork E224 (potassium metabisulphite).
I suspect the elevated alcohol content comes from this ingredient - corn?
Enjoy!

The Shaman coder never discusses or documents what they've done (I do voodoo and don't care what you do) and dabbles in the arts of testes driven development (talking b*lls) and Dev-NoOps (looking busy).
..and today the Shaman coder has wasted my day and sapped my spirit

You know, a test is more than a document. Klingon developers, on the other hand...

Only the weak document or test as it is there pathetic attempts at code that need need to be changed!

Ah, the Shaman coder. Not to be confused with the Terrorist coder, or the serial killer coder.
Both of which actually want to kill you with their coding, and coding style.

There are so many chess playing programs/apps out there that ye canna see the wood for the trees so I'd be grateful for any recommendations for one to assist with chess problems. I don't want a solver (that's just lazy!) I do want to be able to set up a position and then play against the AI from that point. Ideally it would be possible to restore the position at the flick of a switch but that's not essential. Windows 10 compatible preferably but I don't mind running something else on a VM if necessary.

Thanks. I wasn't really looking to buy anything as it literally is just going to be used for a weekly puzzle but ... you know ... it is only 128 days to Christmas!
