    A lot of these companies are fined because they do things that are illegal. It's just that people are never held personally accountable. Shell, and maybe some other fossil fuel giants, in the 60's/70's/80's, hid documents that said they were destroying the world and published documents that said the opposite instead. Unfortuantely, I believe their attempt at mass extinction has expired, so as far as I know they're not even fined. Facebook massively sold their user's data even though they said they weren't. They were fined for a record amount. Same for Tata Steel over here in The Netherlands. Said they were very careful with toxic waste and fumes. Turned out they weren't and people who live in close viccinity to the factory have, on average, a shorter lifespan and more cancer than the average Dutch person. I mean, back then we didn't know about the health risks (although I'm pretty sure they did), but when we learned and asked them to lessen their output, they simply didn't. As far as I'm concerned ignorance turns into mass murder right there. I don't care whether it's technically legal. There's such a thing as "good faith". Telling your mom you didn't eat the last cookie even though you did isn't punishable (by law, at least). Telling the world you're not warming up the earth by multiple degrees ultimately causing mass extinction could, maybe, if we try a litte, not be in "good faith" and therefore, punishable. Of course you could argue we need fuel, we use Facebook and we need steel, and we keep on buying it and using it, so we are to blame (as well). Unfortunately, it's not like we have a lot of alternatives and we're often kept in the dark. The solution? I don't have one, I'll be honest. Strict government regulation and supervision and personal accountability. As long as no one is personally accountable there will be very few incentive to change, as long as the money keeps rolling in. And in that sense, the government has failed us as well, and is often even an accomplice.

    Providing an entity layer on top would facilitate mitigating your concerns.

    One of the areas a lot of us men forget about and avoid stretching is the hips. Stiff hips and muscles around the hips becoming stiff, as we get older, can cause back issues. For me it turned out that my sciatica(giving me sleepless nights) was being caused by an overly stiff piriformis muscle(discovered only by extensive reading and then experimenting with different stretches) which now that I stretch and strengthen has pretty much got rid of my sciatica. β€œThat which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” ― Christopher Hitchens

    Well as per my edit, it turns out the problem was with my code. I don't assume other people's code is the problem until I feel I've exhausted the possibilities of it being my code. However, this time I missed it despite my efforts.

    Yep, that's iterators. Note that there is no intrinsic .NET support for this feature. It is a feature of the C# compiler, which works by transforming the code. The C# compiler transforms it into a state machine based coroutine by A) hoisting local variables to make them members of the IEnumerator implementation. B) Implementing MoveNext() such that wherever there's a yield, that's a new state in the state machine. Because the routine actually returns at that point. When you call it again, it is "restarted" where it left off using the state machine. All iterators are state machines once the compiler is done mangling that code.

    20 years ago... The C++ class had at least 100,000 lines of code. I say at least because besides the include file there were three different code files (which is possible in C++). It is possible there were others. There were at least 200 class attributes and at least 200 methods. Obviously the methods were not small. Design patterns because a thing after that and soon after that one saw "AntiPatterns" (the book by that name.) And so I learned what a God Object is.

    More discipline? Get another one right away and see if it works better with the second. Repeat as necessary.
