When I was young (many moons ago) my family was out fishing, when this young calico cat came to us. Someone had dumped her there and she was starving. She ended up eating a lot of our bait, until I caught a catfish we didn't want. She dragged that off and we didn't see her for about 1/2 hour. When she returned she was literally bulging. We took her home and she was with us for the next 18 years...

Probably because an orange cat cannot hide as well, so they just say the heck with it, go all out .. 😉

Like when you get that "engine" light on the dashboard, but just ignore it....

That sounds so much like the situation where I am working... And no one wants to dig into this archeological dig of a mess to find the underlying causes...

Probably not the reason in this particular instance, but Teams now will create a summary of what was said during a Teams call. Not 100% accurate, but still helpful to get all the note down from what was said....

I have made a number of improvements, if you have questions let me know. It is also possible to run this in a Azure DevOps pipeline.

It's does work, and it generates a lot of metadata that can be useful. I'm still extending it with additional functionality such as documenting pipelines and such...

The place where I am working had the same problem, but across 100s of applications. These are all in Azure DevOps repos, so I wrote a tool to scan every repo and save to a DB a lot of metadata on each. Things like dotNet version, DLLs and packages included with version, etc. Very useful to generate report on EOL packages and frameworks. The company made it available on Github as open source if you are interested... UPDATE: The app is called AzureDevOps.Technology-Framework-Monitor in Github.

Luxury! We are having a high of -12C today... 🥶

Reminds me of the scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life - Ah, I see you have the machine that goes "ping"

My wife and I have not been up for midnight in a long time, so this year feels special. My best wishes to everyone here on the Code Project, and looking forward to seeing all they happens in this year....

When I searched for UwU online, all that came up was that this was some sort of Japanese emoji. I couldn't see the relevance...

Happy New Year from the Pacific Coast (White Rock BC), where it was a balmy 15C yesterday... I hope your new gig goes well. I too have had my share of job changes as a sw dev (less than a year with Kodak when I got laid off as they went into bankruptcy protection...) and you just need to roll with the punches. But I love what I do and would not change very much with my career...

Sorry, but what precisely is "UwU"?

To everyone here, my wish for you all to have lovely holiday and looking forward to the New Year...

You are right - someone will have to come along afterwards and clean this all up... :doh:

My deepest condolences...

I spent a lot of time in those twisty passages....

I would suggest skipping. Net 7, and wait for. Net 8 which will be out in a few weeks. .Net 8 is a long term support (LTS) version and Microsoft will provide security patches for a longer period of time than. Net 7

My first "professional" gig, was when I was 15 years old in '78. Programming some office utilities in UCSD Pascal. So 45 years since then. But I started programming personally much before then. I think I first started learning all this when I was 10, and actually got to play with a friends TRS-80 a few years later. In that time, Ive got work with so many types of software - embedded video software, modding system Bios software, a the way through to major web sites, enterprise and gov't systems. Its been a wild ride 😉
