Continuing from here...
Since I am not at liberty to make a Weird and Wonderful post, I will rant here instead.
Apart from the 100 KLOC, there are some real "hidden" gems here. Apparently a series of callbacks go to 27 calls deep. And  those were JavaScript Promise "then" callbacks invoking another promise.
No one taught them to return the promise.
Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither are circles and ellipses created by their geometrical formulas.

Hi All,
<<start moan="">> got in early to help some one, who was on the verge of breaking 'elf & safety with their original plan, found they had done a no-no, was hesitant to touch said no-no, when no-no starts making annoying sounds, gets others annoyed. Take life into hands to undo and silence no-no. Wait 5 count 'em count 'em 5 hours for said person to turn up. Do three minutes on no-no, 'but it was easier than...',  spend time wasted getting upto speed, just managed to do a cut to work plan (due to wrong sensors ordered  ) to get it finished in time, ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) me aside from ordering the bits and bobs I could have done the project minus the docs which he still has to do in about a week... <<end moan="">>

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

WROTD - windows rant of the day (in case you wondered)
I just spent 4 hours debugging some logging code (refactor operation, I can't take the lunacy any longer). So, code changes done, time to test on the device. Let things run, all looks good. Ftp the file (using Windows Explorer) from device to desktop. Windows Explorer says:
"Yo, dude. That file already exists. Do you want to replace the old file with the new file?"
Yes, I sure do. Click the overwrite option. Open the file. Nothing has changed. Hmmm, logger is broken, go debug...
Time passes.... repeat Windows Explorer drag / drop ftp operation multiple times. Nothing changes in the log file (but the sizes show ever increasing file on the target device). Keep debugging... can't find it in the debugger.
Pop the SD card out the logger uses, pop it into laptop - file magically has all the log messages. 
No error messages on the ftp, looks like the file copies, file does not copy. This is in my home office. Go to customer lab. ftp operation works. Double
The development network is all static IP going through hubs. I'm thinking firewall issues, but no error messages. Ideas? Other than rum, too early for rum.

FileZilla[^] is free. Save yourself the headaches from Windows Explorer caching everything under the sun.

That's where you're wrong right there.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
