Interesting - I had never considered that

But is being in Denny's any of the other 364 days any better?

That will perhaps be your traditional Western Christian protestant conditioning speaking to you.
Polygmamy and polyandry would enable this number to be odd.

I guess that would depend on how you interpret x people got married. I interpret it as equal to if a person gets married x times that counts as 1 as we are counting people getting married not mariages.

Well if I got married once in 2016 and once in 2017, then I'd say I got married twice.

In my current MVC project, I wanted to display the last edit date of the view in the footer. It took me about 75 lines of code scattered over three folders and half a dozen files to achieve it, as well as about four hours of research time.
There are things MS could have done to make it simpler...

I am sure there's a reason this code won't work, but did you try:
File.GetLastWriteTime(Request.PhysicalPath)
If you did, and it failed, sorry - my bad 
|
|
|

Even if that does work, I'm using the mechanism I implemented to perform some other functionality that is required in my shared layout file.

So it's not entirely a Microsoft issue then. Don't get me wrong, I consider MVP to be an atrocious development model, but it sounds like you contributed to the issue.

They already did - and called it ASP.NET Webforms. Then someone decided to make things harder and came up with MVC. I suppose there may be advantages in team environments, but as a sole developer I see no advantage in MVC whatsoever.

Like almost anything Mickeysoft comes up with.
Normally I like to use the Model View Controller pattern, actually more the Model View Presenter flavor. I rolled my own for WinForms, WPF and even ASP .Net Webforms and can convert whole applications by simply rewriting the views for another UI. The rest remains as it was. These patterns should make life a little easier, but that is not the Mickeysoft way.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Thank you for reminding me why I don't use MVC or ASP.NET, just straight Javascript and AJAX calls to a basic web server.

Unfortunately, one must be familiar with MVC in order to remain employable. I'd much rather not have to do any web crap at all...

JavaScript is now on the very very slow train out of town. Not immediate panic, but the new Web Assembly is lining up to give it the boot over the long haul.
Web Assembly is what should have been around all along. JavaScript suffers from never having been intended as a serious enterprise-grade programming language. It was only intended to do little short script tasks. Even Google came face-to-face with that reality when they realized a large code base like Angular was totally irresponsible to try and maintain in JavaScript thus leading to their adoption of arch-enemy Microsoft's TypeScript.
Web Assembly is machine readable pseudo-code (similar concept to Microsoft's CIL for .NET). Use the disciplined typed language of your choice and have the compiler output Web Assembly code. Same concept as C#.NET, VB.NET, and F#.NET all compiling to processor independent CIL.
The CPU-independent Web Assembly code gets (ideally) compiled into the browser host CPU's machine code upon loading.
Compiling existing JavaScript to Web Assembly will certainly be possible and largely desirable. No doubt Google is focused on making sure Angular can be compiled into Web Assembly. (TypeScript to JavaScript to Web Assembly.) Thus JavaScript won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
However, very large project code bases are extremely inefficient to maintain in JavaScript. There is a large collection of far better languages that exist to choose from. So new development will migrate to using other languages, and that will be a very large positive for both companies and developers.
The potential for a .NET Standard/Core framework targeting Web Assembly would be a huge development for enterprise-class developers. The ability to use existing .NET (C#, VB, F#) business logic libraries, etc, as part of browser client apps means serious new benefits.
In the long run it can be envisioned Web Assembly might further unify client app development with mobile apps, desktop apps, and browser apps coming closer and closer to using more and more shared code. There are frameworks for accomplishing much of this already for mobile and desktop. Web Assembly may be the key to bringing browser apps into this realm as well.

This is true. Happily when I write websites for my clients I don't have to adhere to corporate mentality.
