1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I just discovered that a past programmer (circa 2014) thought it would be a good idea to combine the existing jquery and Kendo-UI javascript into a single.min file. The reasons are lost to the sands of time, but the end result is that we are now stuck in 2014, and the web site is so huge that we can't just break these files apart, change all the references throughout the code, and expect sh*t to keep working. The testing effort alone would require multiple MONTHS of time.
And to think people here were cautioning me against a total rewrite...

So you prefer multiple points of failure?

Yes - at least those points of failure will be using the latest code.

If you have a cow that won't produce milk, is that a milk dud or an udder failure?

customer said: When the app starts up, load the user name from a file into the clipboard to they only need to paste it in and not type it in. Same with their password"
Makes sense. I mean we are supposed to be "automating the office work".
EDIT:
Also, if they (insert gratuitous self-promotion here ==>) use my C'YaPass app they will never have to type a password again, because it really will allow them to paste it in.

Sounds like an executive level request to me. So if you can accommodate them . . . . just them.

A system I worked on encrypted the password given on the login window and passed it to a component running on an app server which held it in memory for up to 8 hours. All the apps at startup would pass the userid to the app server to get the password. If the password was returned, it decrypted it and logged into the database, bypassing the login window. This allowed the user to only have to type their password once per day. The userid was filled in for them using WNetGetUser.

So, really, you just needed the right userid to login. Neat.
I can imagine all the hackers sitting and waiting on their mule to sign in for the day: "Come on! I need my daily access!"
