I've been using Windows 10 on an iMac for years with a secondary monitor. This year I've switched to macOS as my main dev system on the iMac, and the other screen is used for my win11, Ubuntu, Debian or mac mini machine. Lots of juggling.
I'm working on the iMac on one file, and on the mac mini on the same file, but a different version. I was wishing I could just copy from one to the other, but they are on different machines. Then, without thinking, I copied some text, dragged the cursor from one screen to the other, and then pasted.
I totally forgot about macOS Universal control. It was so intuitive I wasn't even aware of what I was doing: it just worked the way I expected it to (but had I thought about it, I would have not expected it to work).
I love UI/UX like that. It's like the perfect butler: they are there before you even realise you need them, and then step back once the job is done. But without the whole moral issues thing and all that.
I wish we all had the time and resources and mental space to write software that worked like this.
cheers

It's been my experience that companies will spend hundreds of thousands so people can argue over a text box for months and call that innovation.

I'd never heard of it, but according to the sparse information I can find it's a sort private e-mail network that predates e-mail.
Apparently it's "popular" for EDI exchange and not much else (although the military and NATO use it, among others, because it's more secure than e-mail).
I just got a question from a client if I can deliver an EDI message via ATLAS400 instead of regular e-mail.
Seriously, as soon as someone mentions EDI I get shivers down my spine.
How can something be so ridiculously obscure and complicated and yet so popular!? 
A simple OpenAPI specification would've done the trick! (I know, EDI predates REST, JSON, SOAP and even XML...)
Anyway, it seems I need some subscription to an X.400 service and even then, there are 0 code examples on the entire internet...
So much for "industry standard"

Oh man now I feel old. I think we used that on AIX machines in the early 90's.
Good luck! You've got this!

Well, that's a little disturbing. A human driver would not stop for a person wearing a "STOP" T-Shirt. Imagine what might happen if a self driving vehicle encountered a person wearing a "Speed Limit 100" T-Shirt! Clearly the Traffic sign detection algorithms need improving.

One of the reasons I'm such a prolific contributor here is I'm using the good people of codeproject.com
This site is an archive of my stuff, a portfolio, and documentation. I wonder if Chris feels used yet? 
To that end, I refer to my stuff when I'm mentoring other people on some reddit and discord spots I haunt.
It seems like I always have an article for the occasion that I can link to. "Oh here's how you do this." "You want to wrap that with *what* now? Okay. Here you go."
It's very convenient, but hard to keep up further inspiration for future contributions. I feel like a bit like The Simpsons - they already did it.

Or just hope for the best or just re-write everything from scratch with the 2 versions on different screens for reference ?
I added a new feature in my developement branch as part of some bigger changes (database) , I needed to backport it to main branch, and I improved it on the main branch.
Now I have to merge it back to the development branch.
lolz... 
I just hope it compiles at this point and start fixing it !!

I usually type the lines of code on Hollerith cards, then shuffle the deck like a tarot reader and hope for the best.

Manually or auto: I can feel with you, I have always a bad feeling while merging branches
