I love everything about that post.
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.

MASTER BOOT RECORD - Irq 0 System Clock[^]
I'm not sure, but with a name like MASTER BOOT RECORD and song titles like MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS, Dram Refresh and System Clock, I'm guessing this guy (or guys?) is in IT.
Their bio on last.fm reads "486DX-33Mhz-64mb processing avant-garde chiptune, synthesized heavy metal & classical symphonic music. 100% Synthesized, 100% Dehumanized."
And that pretty much sums it up.
It's surprisingly easy to listen to though and I've listened to it a lot this past week.
I don't have a particular favorite song as it's all pretty great.
Oh yeah, it's all mostly instrumental, so it's pretty nice to have on the background while coding.
It seems they put all their albums on YouTube, so if you like this song I recommend checking out an album.
Enjoy

Nice find!
Like you say, they seem easy to listen to, which isn't always the case with this kind of music.
It's not all instrumental though, there seems to be lyrics if you look for the songs "feat. Öxxö Xööx".
Now... for some sudden reason... I want to go and play some NES games

I've been listening to a couple of albums for the past week and I've never heard any lyrics, but just after I posted this I heard some lyrics too on the Direct Memory Access album

It all sounds rather familiar.

See, you did that wrong. You should have spent the rest of the day relaxing and posted the successful tests at 4:53 PM.

And the number one thing the Visual Code update gives us this month is;
Quote: New product icons
We've updated all of our product icons to be uniform in style, color, and size. We went through various iterations and the community was helpful in providing feedback through every step of the process.
Whew sure am glad they got that straightened out!

...yet icons in VS these days remain as unusable as ever. IMNSHO, 2008, and maybe 2010 to some extent, were "peak VS" for me. Then everything went south when MS declared its war on color.

We have a system, let us call it Brian.
Brian has a Windows service that communicates between two other systems, let us call them Emma and Jim.
This service that is part of Brian has been called EmmaJim.
EmmaJim fell over today, an incident was raised, the problem was resolved.
I am responsible for Jim, Jim is my baby, I suddenly realised when I saw the incident report, the genius that the name EmmaJim was for the developers of Brian, and mentioned this to them. All anyone knew at this point was that data was not getting to Emma, and when they get told that EmmaJim had caused a problem they would assume it was either Emma or Jim that was an issue and ignore Brian completely.
Sure enough, a resolution notice went around minutes later "An issue was identified with a service within Jim".
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
