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'm working on the last 20% of a project that has dragged on too long.
I've lost interest. I'm not on a time crunch, but I've been dragging my feet for too long in any case.
I'm sure some of you know how that goes. I've never handled this situation very well.
Does anyone know any tricks for motivating oneself to code something you don't want to code?
Weird question maybe, but there it is.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I fixed an issue for a client last week.
Worked well on my machine, but not so well in production.
Save a time, for example 08:00, and see it change to 10:00 (the application runs on UTC in production while I'm on +02:00).
TIME ZONES!!! 
Impossible to debug, or so I thought!
I remember having a similar issue some years ago.
However, times have changed (pun intended!).
In the Chrome developer tools, go to the three dots -> More tools -> Sensors and change "No override" to the time zone of your choosing 
Didn't make my bug less annoying, but it did make it A LOT easier to debug!
I'm a bit less scared of time zones now

It was never impossible. At worst it required using 2 computing devices to run your client and server on different time zones.

This looks a lot easier though.
PS For anyone else who clicked the menu item repeatedly wondering why nothing was happening, it loads something into the bottom most pane of the dev tools.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So you can play Wordle earlier than me.
|
|

|

Is that the secret? I changed my computer's timezone to NZ to see what would happen, but Wordle wasn't fooled!
|
|
|
|
|
I don't change any timezone on my computer. I live in India, and play it when it opens up for me. Usually I play at around 6:00 am my time.
|
|
|
|
|
I recalled that you live in India, but I thought you were also implying that Wordle would be fooled by changing the browser's timezone. I hadn't tried that, but I did try changing my computer's timezone and changing my VPN to Auckland--no luck. So I wonder what they're keying on. Maybe they have a cookie that knows I'm trying to be cute.

|
|
I remember that a resident of UK had solved Wordle within around 6 am India time, before i could. I wondered whether he used some VPN functionality to change his time zone. But as you say, Wordle cannot be fooled like this. So he must have kept awake till midnight his time, which is 4.5 hours behind us, and solved it.

what is a programmer who spends more time debugging their language/framework than debugging their application ?
as I said recently in another post:
Gist: I miss you chaotic/challenging/wild/inspiring lot ... a lot !
Constraints on my health and time (how dare my body get old !) have meant rationing my CP time.
The challenge of creating a new jewelry business where I select and buy gems, design custom rings and pendants, and interact/collaborate with the local (Thai) craftsmen who manufacture using typical by-hand jeweler's bench techniques (not 3d design, printing, etc.), of setting up stores on Etsy, eBay ... has gone from a part-time hobby into a project that takes up most of the 4`5 hours a day of screen time my eyes are good for.
No longer time for soaking up the latest/greatest really innovative probes of space-time boundaries by folks like Honey-Witch, Gianni Yiannopoulos, Mehdi Gholam, Marc Clifton, Pete O'Hanlon, and many others. To savor the technical excellence of OriginalGriff, Richard McCutchan, Richard Deeming.
No longer time for the daily struggle to teach newbies how to learn what the docs would tell them ... if they looked, if they knew how to look.
Well, as Heraclitus said: 'panta rhei;' perhaps, as Kong Fu Tzu (aka Confucius) said: 'They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.'
And, keeping in mind Machiavelli's famous dictum: 'There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.'
... as you just saw, the quotation-buffer in my cognitive capabilities is still ... intact at age 78

Good luck with your business. Even if your CP activities are curtailed, I hope we keep hearing from you for many years to come.

Have you tried Windows Narrator? You wouldn't have to focus as much and could listen to the messages. May not be applicable but just trying to be helpful.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Start by learning to read:
Quote: No ads, no abuse, and no programming questions.
If you have a programming question, post it in Quick Answers[^]. But you'll need to actually ask a question; don't just dump some code and expect us to work out what you want.
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

To add to what Richard has - rightly - said, just posting code doesn't help anyone: you need to tell us what the problem is as well.
This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?
That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!
This may help: Tales from the Evil Empire - Asking questions is a skill[^]
Posting even a good question in the wrong place is likely to annoy people (it makes you look like you don't care about other peoples rules, or you are so self absorbed that nobody else matters, even if this isn't the case) - and annoying volunteers you want help from isn't likely to help you much at all!
So, in summary: Post it in the right place, and post it in such a way that the reader can properly understand what the problem is - without irrelevant material!
