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,

I thought initial startup took a while,but it's only because our solution here at work has.. ahem... 1500 projects...
But out of curiosity I opened my own home take over the world project solution (which has been on hold for quite a while..   ) anyway, even this small solution with only 30 projects took some time to initialize / load / startup.. Damn!

I'm on the latest version but hadn't noticed any difference. It might well depend on what your solution contains. Mine is just C++, though I open it from a folder, after which VS2022 has to interpret the CMake files and do its Intellisense thing. But releasing something with a significant performance degradation is very naughty. Our customers used to scream murder if a release slowed down by more than 2%, and there were only 2 releases a year.

To be fair this is the time before (both) intelisense is fully working and VS can start building. One can still edit files immediately.
But yeah.. this is unacceptable!

I've never had one solution with 30 projects in it, and I've worked on million dollar implementations.
I do not understand developers* development these days.
* in retrospect, developers probably haven't changed much.

well.. it's a "big" everything solution....
it has 4 toy GUI testing apps, 1 Unit test project, 1 real app (take over the world home project), 1 custom GUI tool project (internationalisation helper app), 1 code generator project, 6 3rd party projects from GitHub (that I tweaked, mostly only for .NET6, except one that was outdated and buggy, but still very usefull), and finally 10 libraries (1 general utility, 1 general WPF utilities, 1 for a complicated control,. 1 for reflection on public GitHub all by itself, 2 complicated GUI Item on public GitHub, 3 for my take over the world project document and its UI).. plus a few unloaded iOS/Android project from the time I was working on those...
Hopefully that will give you some understanding!

Or maybe I have been subjected to kryptonite.
I am having a rough time motivating myself for a project so I've committed to doing an hour each day.
I spent the other day pulling my hair out over something so simple in C# I don't want to repeat it here because it's embarrassing.
I spent an hour yesterday debugging, and getting absolutely nowhere.
I spent an hour and a half today just to get my serial port talking to my MCU over USB, and stupidly rebooted my machine because I couldn't figure out why the COM port was in use even though the serial monitor connected to the com port was right in front of my face.
I can't take any more breaks. If I rest any harder I'll slip into a coma.
I've drank more coffee than any one person should consume. Ever.
Is my mind going? Maybe I need a vacation though.

It happens to the best of us! See, it even happen to you! 
A few nights good sleep, avoid bad food, maybe some light exercise as well, and you'll be in tip top shape again in no time! 
For me it's a bit harder, I am not fit to live and eat almost half of the food other humans can!

Your avatar seems to be a kookaburra, so you must be eating a healthy diet of raw fish!

haha, I must now! 
BTW indeed you right (about the avatar thing), it's a pic I took meself

Nice photo. I had to think about it because it's just a silhouette and also looks a bit like a raven, so at first I thought your diet might be roadkill.

I figured out to use wind chime to scare birds away from my fig tree.
I ordered two wind chimes/bells from Amazon and hang them on the fig tree.
it seems working because I get two ripe figs.

That is really great Engineering solution. 
Very smart use of devices which have already been created/built (component reuse).
Also, simple application of device without any collateral damage.
+5 Engineering points to you.
Always like to hear how people solve challenges.

the wind chimes are aluminum. Wind blows away and the music is harmonic too...

A whole tree normally produces more than that.
