I was stunned by "FluentApi" when I heard the term.
I first saw it in modern times in C# unit testing and all these new devs were like "fluent api is so special...oh, wow, this new fluent api is just so amazing."
I was like, "what is fluent api?"
Then I saw it was something we were doing in C++ (specifically MFC/C++) back in 1995 or something.
Ok, so you return an object from the method and then you can call another method on the object immediately.
These new technologies which are 25 years old are so amazing!! 
Bell bottoms are in too and they are also amazing new technology that the world has never seen.

I know some Clapton but hadn't heard that song. Great stuff! Sounds great and it's live.
Thanks for sharing.

Towards the end, started out with PL/1.
No seriously we would scratch 1s and 0s in the sand and wait for the guy named Alu to come around with his abacus and perform the operation for us. 
I'm so old I was the counter for Noah, but I was fired for letting cockroaches on the ship. In my defense I was busy picking out two of the female species to load.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

So you have changed your name since? I mean, if you survived the flood, you must have been one of his sons...

But then, we are getting close to the yearly rainbow festivals, which is a good occasion to bring up these drawings/paintings.

Add to that the fact that 2 individuals are not enough to re-establish a population.

I guess that my background with Pascal and WITH as a student is a major reason why I never use this.something when programming in OO languages.
As classical Pascal did not have classes, you could not put functions manipulating the object (aka. RECORD) into the object definition itself. For functions that would later, in OO languages, become methods of the class, WITH was a nice way to simulate that you were inside the object definition.
I never understood why some people insist on using this. everywhere. I read it as a warning: The simple identifier would be ambiguous, and this. is a way to resolve the ambiguity. Sort of like always including the full path from the complete namespace name down to the method name when calling it. I guess my negative reaction to both is that I grew up with WITH as standard way to indicate that 'Now I am manipulating this object'.

That Pascal code isn't anything fluent at all, it's just a series of method calls. The direct equivalent of the C# code would be (removing the use of WITH as an anti-pattern):
var myFluentThing := TFluentThing.Create
.DoThis(x)
.DoThat(y)
.DoAnother(z);
This is only possible, as is true for C#, if the DoThis and DoThat functions return an instance of the TFluentThing class.
