There is a saying in Germany that you build your first house for your fiend, the second for your friend, and the third for you.
This must not only apply to house architecture, but also code architecture.

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.

That doesn't always pan out.
Windows is on version 1906, and it's been getting progressively worse for the last 500-or-so versions.

He can't, otherwise it is an abomination and not a game.

But ... but ... "Ladders and Ladders" is a good PC game (except there is a winner, and we can't have that - it's bad for the losers runners-up other players.

If I did that, then I wouldn't know where they were, and would have to worry all day in case I stepped on them.

What are you talking about? 
Just to make sure we're on the same page, you are talking about Chutes and Ladders? The alternate name for Snakes and Dragons, which also makes sense with the given clues.

Seeing Dragons might make you pooh yourself, which could be called "the runs". Tenuous ...

I see you've left "Tenuous" just hanging there.

Hi All,
I have mentioned in the past I have had Jira landed on me, the general response from the learned crowd was 'Kill it, Kill it with Fire'. I didn't really follow that view as I used to have manage tests and documentation using a combo of Access, Excel & Word (fun times), Jira appeared to have it all in one place. However one thing struck me as weird is the 'prefered' way to get to tests is using the menu's Project -> Test -> Plan Test Cycle and then select from the appropriate tests down the side. Fine a little illogical but I can deal with it. This works if you have the 'frame' open, also if you execute a ticket with the Execute button you can execute a test outside of a test cycle, which will cause my Boss to meltdown...

It seems like it has been added to by different people, at different time, to do different things.
Now it can do various things some of which it was never meant to and it seems to be touted by people for various uses it can be be put to, like a Swiss Army Pen Knife, not the ideal tool but better than nothing.

Jira is a tool which is powerful and extensible.
That said, like any tool, it all depends on how you integrate it into your company, and how good the configured workflows match the real-life processes. If they do not match, as with any tool, you'll end up butthurt and crying - But that's not Jiras fault, but someone higherup ind the command chain not understanding how tools are supposed to help employees get work done effective and efficient rather than self-inflating a boss' ego about doing things the way he wants them done.
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

I think the issue is my Boss is a big JIRA advocate, other higher people are not. Also the software dept doesn't want to use it as they think 'Big Brother is watching them' or something.

Tell them that Big Brother looks down harshly on those who obstinately refuse to follow agreed company processes, and that Big Brother is very good at watching availability lists on LinkedIn.

I've ranted a bit before about Microsoft's pathetic excuse for an operating system. Window's only achievement is through marketing and "it's good enough." My customers do not and will not tolerate their machines crashing for inexplicable reasons... my assessment of Windows 10 on a good day is marginal, on an average day pathetic, and on a bad day - criminal. I'm being generous. For 25 years I've put up with "it must be a driver" bullchips, and as a professional by now MS should have fixed their exposure to this issue - practice safe drivers. Anyway, I rant and I want peace on earth and free healthcare for all....
Google "BSOD diagnosis" and you will get a pant load of sites that are nothing more than shills for "magic" s/w that does absolutely nothing. The next major category is anything beginning with "answers.microsoft... " I actually can hope that most of the posts are AI driven, but I'm not sure.
So for those of you who get into the muck to solve or at least accurately identify Windows 10 system issues - what are your preferred sites? What sites eat raw bits and crap ammo when they are done? tomshardware can have some traction from time to time.... crap, I feel an article forming.
