I could dine out on that for quite a while!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Or an oncoming train? Well as most regulars will know I am 'resting' at the moment trying to get a new role had two interviews this week Monday & Tuesday, the Monday one was not a goer. The Tuesday one (bit of a long commute) but the guy who interview me had a couple of manuals I had written off me to show the managment, seemed over joyed I had worked on automated test systems and had an understanding of serial comms...then things went side ways again my Dad (who lets get over it is a senior citizen, one of the WW2 generation, narrowly missed D-Day, did Suez and Egypt) is not too well, it appears to me that a small stroke might have happened. Doctors on the way to see him, Mum going nuts,sorry about the long rant just needed somewhere to moan!

I wish your dad lots of good health, and I'm convinced that there must be some employer looking for an experienced worker. Keep shooting, it can't rain forever.

Best wishes to your father, my old man had a mild (if there is such a thing) stroke last year, fortunately he was near a hospital at the time and received prompt treatment he's now 95% recovered, so there is hope. Also, good luck on the job prospect!

At first NuGet seemed a good idea - the kind of package management Node and Rust have taken for granted for ages.
Recently though, I'm keep getting stuffed by conflicts, bugs and wierdities.
Many of my projects reference Newtonsoft Json.Net 10.0.3. Somehow NuGet resolves this with version 6.0.x. FFS - thats 4 major versions out-of-date.
Been using OWIN packages, and getting similar issues. Still haven't got to the bottom of this one.
The whole thing is beginning to remind me of DLL Hell and ActiveX components under VB6.
WTF happened? I thought .NET was designed to get us away from this excrement.

The only thing worse than NuGet is when people don't realise you don't need a NuGet package to use JSON

Thing is, it is used by default in some of Microsoft's own project templates and packages. Sometimes you don't have much choice.
