He'll appreciate that.
On a totally different note I thought the link to "Fart Blamed for Causing a Fire During Surgery at a Tokyo Hospital" to be equally as odd.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Some times the link is worth clicking on just for "WTF is that about"!

This really is great. Why change anything as long as it does its job?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

A while ago when I still had Windows 3.1, a friend came with his copy of Windows 3.11. He really forced me to install it and insisted that everything was sooo much better. I did not see a thing.
Never change a running system unless you have a very good reason. Marketing blah blah is not a reason for anything. Computers actually age well. They can work for decades and don't get slower. Even the workmanship used to be better, so what do I need bigger, faster, better for if the old machine was and still is up to the task?

All true, but you did catch me with the Win 3.1 and 3.11. Now if you insisted on 8" floppies, I might have an argument for that....

Do you have any recommended strategies for a junior developer when attempting to learn a large new codebase? One of my goals is to make some commits on something like ASP.NET MVC (.NET Core now), Entity Framework, Node.js, or some other major project on GitHub.
Not surprisingly however, when I open the project file for these, it can be tough trying to figure out where to even start. Of course I can view the issues and try my hand at solving one, but I found that even that often requires a general idea of the project's moving parts.
Do you have any suggestions or resources on breaking down a big project like this to bite-sized chunks that can be learned over time in hopes of a serious contribution?
One strategy I've tried is looking at the classes that I am familiar with from using the software and also looking at the unit tests to get an idea of whats happening.
Thanks.

If you are lucky to work at a company that has decent documentation practices, read the project documents. To get an overall idea of what a project is about read the specification document. Then read the code description, if there is one. Also, try to follow the flow charts. These are standard documents in medical device design and manufacturing.
If you are into database or web design, good luck! 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Hence the "If you are lucky to work at a company that has decent documentation practices."

I think it takes more than "decent documentation practices" just to ensure documentation is kept up to date, unfortunately.

I've been at this for 40 years and have yet to find a company that had more than completely minimal documentation at a level that could help a developer. It has always been a learn-as-you-go process. Most developers do NOT document their work.

In the medical device industry if we do not have documentation, you will not be able to sell your device. It is a requirement and for good reason. Would you want to be on the operating table being monitored by devices with software of unknown provenance?
"Most developers do NOT document their work." and we wonder why the quality of the software out there sucks. That's called winging it and in my opinion it is unprofessional and if a developer is unable or unwilling to maintain at least some level of documentation I would not be inclined to hire them or to keep them in my employ.

That's certainly good to know. I wasn't talking about end-user documentation, though, I was talking about the documentation that would help a developer. I wonder if the code behind those medical devices is documented any better than what I've seen in a dozen or so other industries?
