This particular doctor costs more than it's worth by mindlessly applying rules which are so restrictive that even code samples are already 'excessive'. What would you say about a doctor who at the same time lectures you about eating too much and doing too much physical work? An apple and some bird seeds may be enough for a supermodel, an athlete would not come very far if he tried that.
As we know, computers do not really shine when it comes to good judgement and intelligently combining separate results. That's also why I see the current AI hysteria with horror. I would sooner let a trained monkey drive my car than a computer. This thing here is not quite as dangerous. It just wastes my time with countless irrelevant warnings and drowning out the relatively few ones that might be relevant.

Turn the rule on to not waste an hour of your life with code analysis.
You either write good code or you don't. Empower yourself, not the machine.

The frustrating bit is.. I spotted a few useful tips... but there is like 400 messages for one assembly, of which maybe 5 messages are useful. But in the end I search and find these messages like once a year... I am never gonna scan them all successfully on every compile or even once every day...
And then.. it's working less and less well to turn them on and off.. (between each edition of visual studio) but that might be because I have the Community edition at home. Going to check pro edition at work tomorrow! Would be good to know if professional works better.

Do you like to run around in a bathrobe all day ("Execute order 66!") or do you prefer something more colorful ("Implement General Order 24!")?

Not General Order 24, just to be sure?

Order 66 is from Star Wars, General Order 24 from Star Trek. It may be unusual for the 'good guys', but in some situations you must show your muscles when someone does not want to listen to anything else. They would probably not have had to go all the way to the bitter end, but anything less would end any hope of avoiding it altogether. War is a messy business.

I like your comments about wanting the freedom to change styles over time. In general we are getting sick of 'Nannyware' that keeps telling us what to do or not to do.

Thanks man, glad the feeling is shared!
And indeed I have heard less complaint about consistent style those last few years...

I already read the books!

So did I - then I watched Series one. Both telling the same story, both very good. But both doing it differently.
It is worth watching the TV series after reading the books - and I'd be damn sure it's worth doing the other way as well.

Tried to get my prettier half to watch the first season. She dislikes having to use her higher brain functions to understand what is supposed to be simple escapism. Halfway into the first episode, she noped herself into the next room and found something else to do. Sigh.

Hmmm,
The project I am on at the moment has decided to write tests one way, the standard way is different.
This led to P.M. taking on my Boss for what appears to be a battle of wills...
Have other people experienced this, what is the correct office behaviour, despite my desire to get some pop corn and sit back and watch the fire works, I feel the desire to no longer be around I am looking for a test that requires some kit in another building...

If there is an accepted practice for testing your product, you should IMO follow the accepted practice. If this is merely a difference in preferences between the PM and your boss - let the popcorn flow!
In neither case should you get involved; there is a lot to lose, and very little to gain.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Daniel is right: if you get involved, you will lose whichever way it ends up.
Go find another job to do - a useful one is good - until the dust settles!

Ah, this is excellent. A true classic maneuver. First you kick off the avalanche and then you step aside to let those two have all the fun. It also puts you in a position where you can plausibly deny any accusations which might be raised to pull you into this thing. So, which cair are you after? PM or boss?

Procedures are in place for a reason, but there should be flexibility if it can be justified. For example, perhaps this particular project has an element not consider when the original procedure was implemented?
If the PM can justify the action then the boss should be willing to compromise. However, a smart PM would just say "Ok, it's YOUR call boss" and scab a free pass if it all goes wrong.

Well, I found I needed to check a soak test in another building, a soak I did not start...
It is still on going Jira & Zephyr advocate vs paper... the body count is rising...
