All of you VB6 ninjas can put your creations in the Windows 10 store. Please. I beg you. Otherwise it might remain, well, empty?^^[^]
VB6 on mobile with vanilla ASP on the server side, the glorious days when microsoft was microsoft and small furry creatures from Alfa centauri were real small furry creatures from Alfa centauri.

The fact that the IDE works on Win10 does not make it a supported scenario all of a sudden. And yes, I know I'm making a lot of VB4-developers unhappy, but the language is dead.

It still is dead.
The IDE is no longer for sale, you cannot get a new license, and the Operating System is not tested to guarantee that it reamins compatible. VB6 is no longer updated nor maintained, and there is no support from MS is anything fails.

He's the guy who said, "One irresponsible programmer can keep any five top-notch programmers busy." 
On a serious note, he's way off. It should be 1 to 1, not 1 to 5. If one 1 irresponsible programmer is keeping 5 other programmers busy then they are no way top-notch.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's only true if you intercept the damage before it reaches production. Disaster recovery can be far harder than preventing a disaster in the first place.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You obviously haven't met some of the top-notch irresponsible people I've had the displeasure of working with.

Just hit the "revert this commit" button on your source control system? 
The more often you forget to revert the more people you'll need to clean the mess

Nope - hence the question mark.
I got Deuterium from the heavy water, but it's from the Greek for second "deuteros", and I can't think of any famous Greeks that fit at all!

Heavy water was a huge clue.
