    Works well when your system has write-only memory (WOM)[^]. One rather venerable implementation can be found here[^]. Software Zen: delete this;

    I agree 100%. I have used the MS development IDE since they introduced it in Visual Basic in 1991, then forward into Visual Studio for .NET around 2000. The main thing VS needs is a visual designer functionally on par with the existing one for WinForms (which dates back to VB in the 90s and updated well over the years) to bring that same rapid application development (i.e. drag and drop UI building) to MAUI, WinUI3, and Blazor. Components like "Hot Reload" don't even come close to improving the productivity and quality of the UI like a visual designer does. Without visual designers, just how "Visual" is Visual Studio?

    I suppose that's unpleasant, but password managers exist to avoid this scenario. Some are even free!

    Hmmm... once you decide that *all* something must do *something*, before you even know what problem you're about to solve, you've decided that reality takes second place to what you've decided reality should be. "Dijkstra would not like this" <- his immortality, for those who get the reference.

    good luck... sometimes it is needed ;) M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

    This comment was based on hard-won experience. Once upon a time I spent a couple days writing an app to compute some values and the math wouldn't come out the way I thought it should. I fired up Excel to test the calculations and in less than an hour I had verified them plus calculated the values I needed :-O . Software Zen: delete this;
