1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

In 2008 or something, Microsoft had some "Enterprise Block" demo or some other codename, for a MEF driven IoC/DI thing for desktop app.
I never saw more confusing app. We used the pattern a bit and we got lost and confused in our own small codebase all the time.
IoC has continued but has become less confusing I reckon. At my previous work (WebDev) we had simple IoC (MS unity container) with constructor injection (typical .NET Core / MVC stuff). And even my own home made projects, as someone who unapologetically despise IoC/DI, has little bit of it (with my own container thingy, anyway).
I can't quite put the finger on it, but IoC/DI as it is used today seems simpler to understand than how it was in those 2008 earlier iterations I think....
To come to my point, the app I am working on at work remind me of those earlier 2008 IoC samples... It's so bloody confusing all the time. I can't quite put my finger on it though. It all seem reasonable in isolation...
Not sure what's my point here. What's your thinking on the evolution of IoC/DI in the last 15 years perhaps?

I'm leaving within the hour for a weeklong trip to Marathon, FL for a much needed vacation. Of course the laptop is going with me just in case something needs fixing. Hopefully I won't have to use it too much! 
So long suckers!

That's not a vacation.
Leave it at home. Disable all work related devices (and/or work related notifications)

Enjoy - and take the battery out and leave it at home ...

If you have MS Teams on your phone just remember to disable it so you don't get notifications over both mobile data & Wi-Fi

Dear Boss,
I'm leaving for Florida on <day> for a vacation and I will be gone for <days>.
I'm leaving all digital devices at home and cannot be reached for <days>.
This is my vacation, I have earned it and I plan on enjoying it by unplugging.
Thanks for your understanding, or not!

I turned last weekend from a 3-day weekend into a 4-day one by taking Friday off as a holiday. It's been years I've done that.
I was rewarded with tornadoes and a power failure that lasted for nearly 48 hours. I'm not sure whether I've jinxed myself, but this would be in line with my typical luck.
OTOH...I'm trying very hard to tell myself I'm lucky I haven't suffered any actual damage, other than one dead PC that (I'm guessing) didn't like the brownouts, even though it was sitting behind a UPS...

But when I got home I realized I picked 7 up.
I'll let myself out.

This left me a sour taste.

Sickly sweet for me.

Agreed! that's why one must always have a good supply of Tito's vodka on hand, you have to offset that sweetness somehow.

I've heard that apparently italian Sprite is that much sourer than European and US Sprite. We also had a small production of sugar-free Sprite that I loved, but it was too sour and bitter even for Italian taste (it was much closer to Schweppes than to standard Sprite).

Again, I'm thinking Tito's to the rescue!
You want bitter, consider this stuff Jeppson's Malört[^] a local (Chicago) specialty.

I have to admit that I have indeed tried it. My son and his wife took a trip to Chicago a few years ago and heard about it from a bartender who had them try it. He brought a bottle back when the family all got together for Christmas. We all tried a shot.  I threatened to disown him. My youngest daughter took the bottle back home as she and her boyfriend were throwing a party the following week and wanted to torture their friends. As it turns out one of her friends actually liked it and finished it off.
Have you ever tried it? To me, it tasted of anise and wasn't so bad - for about a half second. Then a horrible aftertaste aftershock sets in that knots your whole face. It is truly unpleasant.

I have had it several times, I expected it to be a lot stronger (alcohol-wise) to be honest. The aftertaste is bitter no doubt, but to me, no more so than say a grapefruit. I lost a good deal of my ability to smell ~15 years ago, so I can't really speak to any nuances of what it actually tastes like. But given a choice, I'm more of a vodka person.

Sprite? That’s the soft drink that used to sponsor NASA space shuttle missions after they couldn’t get 7 up!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
