Apparently, you have to use it 66 times, before you can get a green card.

Years ago the place I was at wrote a firewall application. We got lots of calls from welders asking for more information.

I think I'm beginning to see why so many IT companies make up stupid names for things...
Mind you, I wonder how many greengrocers called apple.

I used to work for a data visualization company that allowed enterprise clients to easily build dashboards. We received our share of calls from muscle car restoration shops.

Okay, you copied that from somewhere, yes? Or do you claim original credit? Either way, pretty funny.

Um, accusing me of plagiarism is tantamount to begging for your bones to be broken. I make it very clear when I'm quoting.
I'm a professional writer, on top of everything else that I fit into each year. As a professional coder, how would you react to people saying you'd stolen other people's code?

Well, it says Porter Cable on the front... So I assume you just jam it in the big red emblem between the two words?
If you have issues, just use a second router equipped with a plunge-cut bit to make the hole big enough.

OK, granted, the specs on the computer at work suck:
8GB RAM
i5-2500 CPU at 3.30Ghz
Probably a 5400 RPM hard drive that's always thrashing.
(and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with 8GB RAM!!!)
However:
- It takes for flipping ever (a good 30 seconds) for Visual Studio to launch the website as it interfaces through IIS and loads a hundred System.Microsoft.sh*t assemblies.
- If I try to debug, it's about a 60 second wait time, a message frequently pops up that something can't start, it tries to integrate debugging with Chrome (for elephants sake, I'm trying to debug the server-side C# code, not the Javascript, I'll use the console window in Chrome for that, thank you very elephanting much, I don't need or want integrated Javascript client debugging in the IDE)
- If #2 happens, I have to reset the URL to localhost:[someport]
- Now remember, I'm running this stuff as localhost, so everything is elaphanting LOCAL. Yet it takes a good 10 seconds to load a "hello world" page.
The time delays are what gets me the most. So many elephanting sub-systems seem to be involved.
Conversely, the web sites that I write don't use ASP.NET, Razor, or any of that garbage. The server launches instantly, the web pages come up instantly, and I'm a happy camper debugging server side code in the VS and client-side code in Chrome.
My experience with Microsoft's high-level technologies for web development makes me  Sadly, I have to use this pile of stinking dung for a simple project at work.
And as I said above, the crap machine they give you here at work is probably in large part responsible for my experience.

I am rewarded by my company with a similar setup though at least I have a 256GB SSD drive which helps. I have also started using VS2017 which has a lightweight solution load option. It's a bit dumb but does help a tad.
What irks is that my own machine is far better specified than this but they won't let me use it.

Indeed, my laptop is better performing. SSD's, 16GB ram, 8 core processor...

I agree. I think that is probably the most important feature of all in speed with Windows and Visual Studio especially. I just upgraded to an SSD from an HDD at home and the change has been extremely dramatic. Also, at work we all have SSDs and it makes everything far better.
A lot of software is I/O killer -- especially VStudio.

I agree as well. Simply replacing the HDD with an SSD on my personal laptop literally made a world of difference. Also, much less expensive than replacing an otherwise very good laptop with a very expensive top of the line laptop.

Have you played with the new ASP.NET Core stuff?
