I briefly "consulted" in a cold office building in particular "Sears Tower" before it was renamed "Willis Tower". I utilized programming gloves id est the tips cut off. The project itself was a complete failure. A Sears repair person upon a visit to my apartment to repair the HVAC some years subsequent I inquired was he utilizing the project code on his lap top. He explained no the data it transmitted to central office simply disappeared. I am not surprised. A weaker bunch of "consultants" was hard to imagine. I took it upon myself to fix many bugs in my supervisor's code. One could see she was not happy about it but she did not reprimand me. However put a mouse in her hand and place her in front of a game and she became a terror. Also she was not happy I did not accept her advances.

The same thing happened to us a couple of years ago during a heat wave, it was 94°F in the office, we left a bit early that day.

Nice ,positive and to the point.
Makes me curious how she put it together - using her intellect. Mrs Google or AI.
Yes , I see way too many articles using same AI approach
" smart so and so discovered this ( amazing toilet cleaner - as an example ) , buy it before "they" take if down..."

and do not tell me that operators have been replaced by "professional chatters "

All I can see on CP today are the Wordle posts - no option of going to the next page or anything - is it me or the site ?

Reminds me of this code someone did few months ago (I wish this was only a joke)
bool condition;
viewmodel.AllowSomething = !condition == true ? false : true;

In my open source projects I've been known to bury silly comments deep in the source to make astute reviewers question my sanity.

That would explain the 15ish lines I found that were setting up like they were gonna pitch something to the db but then never even opened the connection or sent anything on it.

Visual FA is the project I've most enjoyed in C# in recent years. But it's finished.
Not only is it finished, it's fairly polished. It slices and dices state machines, you can render them to graphs, to and from regular expressions, and analyze them in a myriad of ways. You can generate (optionally dependency free) matching code with them, or compile directly to an assembly. The matchers can stream from TextReaders or match off strings.
I have nowhere else to go with it. It has been a long time since I've truly stuck a pin in a project as "completed for the foreseeable future" but after like 5 articles and 2 tips, plus the code itself and it's associated nuget packages I have nothing left to do.
I'm glad. But I also wish there was more for me to do. I really enjoyed this project.

No, it's fine. It is just that over here when asked a question such as, "What is the government doing about X?", a common answer would be "F*** all", meaning nothing. It is sometimes euphemistically stated as "(Sweet) Fanny Adams" or "Felicity arkwright". And "FA" is a common contraction, so Visual FA could be vapourware.

I gotcha. I like the way that turned out.  I actually use the expression myself but have never seen it abbreviated so it just wasn't on my radar.

Richard, Thanks for explaining this!  I'll try to use that in a sentence at dinner tonight. Cheerio!

Is there some sort of overview doc as to why you wrote this and what problems you are solving?
