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,

Harry Styles - Music For a Sushi Restaurant[^]
A different SOTW this week.
It's actually a pop tune by a mainstream pop artist.
I'd heard his name, but didn't know his music, until a friend told me she listened to him and even went to two of his concerts in two weeks (one planned and one delayed by COVID).
Apparently, Harry Styles is all the rage right now and critics and fans really love him.
He was a member of another mainstream pop boy band I never heard, One Direction.
So I gave it a listen and it's actually pretty nice and upbeat music that gets stuck in your head.

That's three this month Richard have you been swatting up ? I'd of guessed the answer but luge would never have occurred to me.

Spot on! You are up Monday.
I just liked it, the clue flowed well.

It started fine, but then it went downhill rapidly.
(As in Milton Jones' joke: "My grandfather: we covered his back in lard; after that he went downhill rapidly")

I always thought of that as an American expression. Do you Brits use the same?

I don't.
But then, in Wales it can be difficult to tell where the sun is at the best of times ...

No, that is pure American. Sadly, too much of it is leaking into our language via social media and TV channels. If it was up to me ...

"Fried egg": cooked from underneath only.
And then given to Herself or thrown in the bin: I don't like eggs - blame my father for that one.

"Fried eggs, please".
Everyone knows there is only one way to serve a fried egg: heat some oil or fat in a pan, break the egg(s) into the pan and leave until the white is solid and the yoke runny.

We don't - we get what is on served on the plate when we go to a greasy spoon.

We have giga build farm here.
I found a scenario were some base class can be setup incorrectly that is hard to detect (basically some code to detect faulty redo code). I can't commit it because when I try.. it "causes" many bugs (detect lot of broken code all along, but no one knew), so I have to fix "my bugs" first, by delving in tons of code I have clue about to fix them (those other guy's faulty redo code)... this is all so painful....
I try to gather some interest on slack.. but no one is really excited by a bug finder apparently... I need to up my communication skills!

Oh man, how good I can relate to that...
I am a very very good tester, because the weirdest / most awkward situations / side effects of code always happen to me (even when I don't want them).
At a previous job, the guys programing the overarching library were always with faces saying "oh, no... not once again" everytime I got into their office and headed to their desks.
Once I even got a "why do you always come to bother us?" from a guy there... I had to bite my tongue to not answer "because you are mediocre and I always suffer the consequences of your crappy code"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
