Still working, javascript/React app - not impressed with either javascript OR react.

New job?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Yeah, starting in 2022...
The hardest part of the new job is to get the other devs to comment their code...

If that's seriously the hardest part of the new job...you're doing better than most. Wise are those who avoid incurring the wrath of JSOP.

So am I. I’m still writing code for my game with GDI based graphics. No intent to hijack Original Poster’s thread. I think there are plenty of other silent CP users following the daily CP activity.

Of all the people who have left Code Project over the years, you're probably the one I have thought about the most.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Hey John, glad you're still here. The place has been rather ... bland without you  .

Mustang is great! I got a new hotrod last year, too - 1964 Fairlane with a 429...

My wife said "The kettle's not working!" – She's been claiming that it's getting old for a while.
It's a "cordless" electric kettle, which can be lifted off an always-plugged-in base. Usually the on/off switch dies or the base connector wears out.
The first thing I did was to rotate it on its base. She said "I tried that"
Then I pushed the plug all the way back into the wall and it came to life.

Reminds me of my first site visit on my first job. I was asked to look at a computer that wouldn't turn on.
I'm sure you can guess the resolution!

Sometimes just pushing the plug in doesn't work. I've taken to unplugging and then plugging back in to overcome this issue.

To be honest, I did that next to see if I needed to replace the outlet that it was plugged into. "Just how loose is this?"
I should also check the outlet's temperature after the kettle boils.

I was at a friend's house and he was saying that the TV was not working. Since I have a BSEE, could I take a look at it?
- I tried to turn it on. No response.
- I followed the power cord to an extension cord.
- I followed the extension cord around the perimeter of the room until I found the plug.
- Yep! You guessed it. It was unplugged. His daughter, doing her homework at a small table, had unplugged that extension cord to plug in either a laptop charger or a cell phone charger.
I highly recommend replacing some of your duplex outlets with ones that include USB power ports. The are readily available at your local hardware store, Lowes Home Improvement Centers, Home Depot, and your local Tractor Supply Company store.
Note to builders: One duplex outlet per wall is no longer sufficient!

Local codes set a maximum distance between outlets on any given wall. I think maybe 6 or 10 feet. I'm not sure if there's a minimum distance, though. There would be a maximum number of outlets per breaker run, though.
I have a couple of questions about USB power ports. Do they act like wall warts, continuously drawing power, even when not recharging/powering a USB device, or are they able to power off when no device is attached. Secondly, are they fast-charge or not? I'm guessing not, since I think maybe plugging in an old USB device to a fast-charge port is not wise.

As you can tell from my bio, I live in a rural area. We don't have no stink'n building or zoning codes. One of my neighbors has a private cemetery on her property with one of her sons (a Vietnam vet), her husband, her parents, her grand parents, and some of her forbearers going back to the Civil War.
I know little about the duplex outlets with USB ports. I have seen them my local Lowes and have used them at motels when I am on the road. I would hope that they are designed to be smarter than "wall warts." It should not be difficult to have them turn on only when a USB-A or USB-C plug is physically present, with the metal shell of the plug pushing against a microswitch which turns on the 12v power.
