"that" task will take 10 minutes.
what I can not currently estiamte for is
- the 5 tasks I forgot that will need doing with it
- the 3 user requests for design changes
- the 4 additional must have requirements you forgot to tell me about
- weather its ToString or toString so adds 20 seconds search and 2 hour rabbit hole reading some blog about why str is better then string and ""+"" should be done with a string builder.
- then come deploy the half day figuring out who I need to contact for permissions to the production server because new policy changes
so yeah, 10 minutes to get "that" one specific thing done.

I assume from the wording, you've retired. Congratulations, it's pretty great.
If I may, some advice: have something to do. Go ahead and take a month or whatever to just relax, sleep in, etc. Retirement as in "doing nothing all day" sounds good in principle, but doesn't work in real life.
So, after your relaxation period, make sure that you have some ideas of how to keep busy.
It sure is nice not having to listen to a clock or deadlines or anything else. I'm bored with project X? Set it aside for a while, and do something else.

No, just working from home and it was a small app for work.

I've written multiple applications (GUI, c/line, popup reminders, etc) to help me handle my numerous and varied personal projects and TODO lists.
Now I've given up and just use Emacs org mode: If there's something out there that is better, I've yet to hear about it.

Sleeping just 4 hours a night means I'm always up at the wee hours when everyone else is asleep.
I do my best coding then, when the moon is out. No distractions.
Slight breeze, still waters, focused mind. It's like that.
My brain never sleeps but it can be peacefully analytical or frenetically so.
Morning will come when I'm not ready.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Who needs eight hours when four is clearly enough. Been like that for years.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

So you do your best work in half-month increments? The moon cycle does not keep it up at the same time every night.

Yes, I am at that age when I need to get up at the wee hour.

I understand that in Paris, they stay out until the oui hours.

I got in 6 straight hours the other night, oh what joy it was!

If I don't sleep at least 7 hours I can't code for ****, to work well I should sleep at least 8-9 hours. I worked so well when I was in remote work for COVID.

I simply cannot sleep more than 4 hours at a time. After 4 hours of sleep I am just up.
Sometimes I sneak a nap in.

Why? Do you turn into stone or into dust when the sun's rays strike you?

A quick CCC for whilst you are waiting. I think it is too easy for a real CCC.
After a restless nap, the confused medic finds a global infection (8)

Pandemic
PS. The answer leapt out at me. I have no idea how to set CCCs so don’t expect me to set one for tomorrow
|
|
|
|

You are up tomorrow!
No ... wait a moment ...

It is Greg Utas’s turn to set the CCC.
In his absence, somebody else jumped in and submitted a pretty easy CCC.
Medic and worldwide infection gave me demic and soon I concluded it has to be pandemic. Add to that confused nap, which gives pan, and I had justification for my solution.

Yes, but ... you got it.
So if Greg doesn't post in the next hour ... either you or I am up tomorrow, probably.

Well done! I'll leave it to @OriginalGriff to decide what happens tomorrow as you don't want to take it on. I suppose, the honour should stay with @gregutas

I'm so tempted to wind him up ...
