When you edit a file, it doesn't look to see if the project has new code, and subsequently, doesn't prompt you to get latest for the project. This leads to inevitable "conflict/merge" process which is very problematic in its own right.
But that's okay, we have new icons and the ability to more easily theme VS2019, and that's vastly more important to devs.
(It only sucks during the week because that's when I have to use it.)

I cannot tell you how many times I have ran into this same issue. And it has been an issue as long as I can remember. Back to 2008 at least. PRobably before that.

i hate circular references, especially indirect circular references.
i had a circular reference issue in my predict sets computation which made it unable to compute left recursive grammars - they had to be prepped first to eliminate the recursion.
This was preventing me from doing LR parsing which not only allows left recursion, but is optimized for it and encourages it. However, it needs the same predict set computation that LL grammars do.
Since I couldn't handle left recursion in my implementation of the predict sets computation, I could not realistically do LR parsing.
Now I can. That's a whole new suite of modules for PCK. Heck yeah!
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

You do realize that you are making the chances of completing the article set more and more remote with each passing edit to the code? 
Sounds like you are having fun though!

well, I've got one section done
Pck/FA: A regular expression and finite state engine in C#[^]
So I am making headway there too, but I take your point.
Still, my primary goal with PCK is to be something like Standard Oil of the parser generator world. It consumes everything, even grammars meant for other parser generators.
And exports to other parser generators like YACC (and soon ANTLR)

xkcd: Unpopular Opinions[^]
Try it: I can't find anything I liked that got less than 55% (The Dressmaker (2016) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] - and even then it was 66% for the audience!)
I figured that "Last cab to Darwin" - a good "thinky" movie - would do it, but ... 89%! Deserved, but annoying score.
He's right - hating something popular is a heck of a lot easier than liking something hated by the masses.
Got any suggestion, people?

What 47%!? I loved that movie (best X-Men movie by far  )

What if your adult life started much earlier than that?

me too. I liked that movie. Of course, I saw it as a child.

We rented Howard the Duck back when Blockbuster was still a thing.
We quite liked it. It was stupid, sure, but it was low key, gentle and funny.

The cutoff date is probably so movies before Rotten Tomatoes started don't unduly skew the results.

I suspect it's more a comment on the accuracy of rating sites.
However, my kid was born in 2001, so most movies I've seen since 2000 have been kids movies, so not many would have really low ratings anyway.

I dunno, Frozen[^] has a rating of 90%, and I suspect most parents would have voted it considerably lower after the 90th repeat of that damn song ...
