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,

She wants to enter her Covid LFT result but her tablet is not playing ball, so she has been screaming at it for not turning on.
Finally, I go to investigate the problem, and ... the battery is at "0%" ... 
At least it's easy to fix!

I really hate those code reviewer who say "oh your variable name is too short, or too long, or I don't like like it, blah, blah"... but I realize I somewhat became what I hate meself... Thankfully I still don't care about the length, or abbreviation, or single letter variables... But when one used a concatenation of multiple full words, what really grates me is... spelling mistakes! :/
like
- m_SomethingManger, argh.. it's manager, 2 "a" you dyslexic moppet!
- currentTransation, what's a transation? did you forget a "c"?
anyhow, no biggie. What I noticed though, is when I say "spelling please", my comment is ignored  I guess while you can't unsee it once you see it, you probably can't see it, until someone.. mmm.. spell it out! (pun intended  )

Plural variables are my issue. Tons instead of ton, etc. Higher probability of a single letter spelling error.

What do you do about arrays? Singular or plural?
Plural looks better in declaration:
int apples[5]; Singular looks better in other statements:
if (apple[3] != rotten) …
I know it sounds silly, but I’m an adept of literate programming and somehow care about these little details.

Exactly. I agree. Avoid plural names, but seek collective nouns.

Not talking about looks. It's writing code. I am not being fanatical just a rule of thumb(s).

OMG! What was I saying about spelling!!!!!

Then don't apply for a job where I work, they seem to systematically do their spelling the wrong way

Or an "l". Or they replaced an "i" with an "a".

Maybe their storing a reference to a food trough for animals? 
Another favourite in QA seems to be using "costumer" instead of "customer".

I just bought O'Reilly book "C#10 in a Nutshell"
It is 1024 pages long!!!!  
If that is a "nutshell", then I am an elephant.
BTW: I only weigh 215llbs. About 97.75 kilos for you east ponders.

Some things have larger nutshells, I guess.
Just make sure you memorize that book, because it's just the basics you need to know to get started.
