People have said this in the past. Just after posting a simile about cooking and software development, it hit me hard how much more similar the two. More so then traditional "engineering" disciplines.
You get taught how to read a recipe and implement.
Then you learn that the recipe is at best a guide.
Each new project your recipe gets shorter, but the implementation time gets longer.
Day 1 - recipe is 5 pages long, has all the details, what tools you gonna use, methods described in detail.
Day 365 - a few bullet points, the world "cloud" on it own line. 👍 your good to go and implement the companies new payroll system.
But seriously. Cooking has many ways to do the same thing. Yes there are "traditional" methods. You want a roast turkey, it has to be X Y and Z. Then a vegan comes in and shows you can have the same flavour, taste and experience at 1/5th the cost, lower calories.
Yeah, but SOAP will always be better then this JSON thing. Wheres the types!!

... and most people still manage to make it inedible. Just like devleopment!

I've had a lot more experience of Day 1 recipes that were, in their entirety: We want a program that will do everything for us, and is completely intuitive, so that no-one will need any training. You've got three weeks.

does Uber do software dev?
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

There are four species of Mambas (snakes of the Dendroaspis genus, which means "tree snake"). The "Black mamba", which doesn't live in trees despite its family name, is grey or brown. Sounds like a question on QI: "What colour is a black mamba?" Cue sirens and -10 points to Alan Davies. Black mamba pic [^]

Bugger, sorry. I actually didn't even check to see if I was correct.

Yep, except for the $99, foul muzac, 10 minutes of irrelevant rubbish with bad graphic effects at the beginning and end, that's about right for most of 'em ...

So the solution to this problem, as with many, many programming problems, is GO TO CP, DON'T GOTO YOUTUBE!

There's quite a few photography tutorials; they're 3 part, the first 2 are rather good but not much info and the 3rd is a long video that is an advert for an expensive class.

Docker for Windows won't run if you have the Razer Synapse driver management tool running.
Not surpised, Razer syapse is crap anyway (but it has improved, arguably)
At any rate, this is the post mortem analysis explain why, it is thanks to a buggy answer on stack overflow  :
