I saw it fairly quickly, there again this sort of case is very easy to miss when you are the one who wrote it.
It's the reason why rubber ducks or cardboard programmers are so important.

Because it's emulating the English language:
I am I
You are you

In English, this would be picked up earlier -- at the editor level, not compiler.

You are getting setter and setter at these.

Oh, it'll fetch data alright, and never let go of it.
You also can't train it to stop from sniffing everybody's butts all the time.

If we're going to pit Google against Bing...then honestly I'm not worried about Bing.
Even though I'm using MS online services a lot more than Google's, Bing clearly still remains rather clueless as to who am I. Google, OTOH, despite me making proactive efforts not to ever log into anything of theirs, has a much more accurate profile. How they do it, I'm not sure, but to me it reeks of underhanded tactics they'd rather not have anyone know about.

That comment spaniels many topics - and might give one paws to contemplate. Well, lad, keep a sniff upper lip and try again, tomorrow.

Just gave my two week notice to my current employer, having accepted an opportunity:
- 20 minutes closer to home and no highway driving
- No cubicles, large open space with private offices if one needs peace and quiet
- Lovely natural lighting!
- Compared to where I "was", progressive software development (SCRUM, Jenkins / CI, JIRA)
- Will be learning some new tech: TypeScript and Angular (hmmmm....)
- Stock options
- Excellent medical
- "Real" development machine (not the 8GB i5 with spinny disk saddled with security bloatware and tiny monitors)
- Seems like a really great team, and an interesting product: Software Consulting Associates
Etc. I will NOT miss where I've been working for the past two years. I have appreciated the employment, but little else.

Sounds like the right decision. Good luck with the new venture

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
