I just discovered that a past programmer (circa 2014) thought it would be a good idea to combine the existing jquery and Kendo-UI javascript into a single.min file. The reasons are lost to the sands of time, but the end result is that we are now stuck in 2014, and the web site is so huge that we can't just break these files apart, change all the references throughout the code, and expect sh*t to keep working. The testing effort alone would require multiple MONTHS of time.
And to think people here were cautioning me against a total rewrite...

So you prefer multiple points of failure?

Yes - at least those points of failure will be using the latest code.

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Since jQuery was offensive to SJWs it was replaced with the LGBT-safe version gayQueery.
Utterly ridiculous or totally believable in 2019?

Where I worked our regular JavaScript file was pretty much the same as the minified version
Maybe they're in one file because 2014 programmer thought fetching one file instead of two would make load times faster?
And since they're always used together you now only have to reference one file instead of two in all your pages making your load time even faster and your code base a bit smaller?
And since you have to write only one JavaScript reference the development time is faster too.
We know none of this is true, but 2014 programmer was an idiot and who knows what they think

Could be a low fat de-calf.

I will think of that when I go biking near Uddel

That's a lotta bull!

customer said: When the app starts up, load the user name from a file into the clipboard to they only need to paste it in and not type it in. Same with their password"
Makes sense. I mean we are supposed to be "automating the office work".
EDIT:
Also, if they (insert gratuitous self-promotion here ==>) use my C'YaPass app they will never have to type a password again, because it really will allow them to paste it in.

I started to try to write a joke about someone asking for their password to be set to "there" and communication being a routine about there/their/they're, and where the guy points to being a peice of paper he pointing to.
but writing it down didn't seem as funny.

Sounds like an executive level request to me. So if you can accommodate them . . . . just them.

A system I worked on encrypted the password given on the login window and passed it to a component running on an app server which held it in memory for up to 8 hours. All the apps at startup would pass the userid to the app server to get the password. If the password was returned, it decrypted it and logged into the database, bypassing the login window. This allowed the user to only have to type their password once per day. The userid was filled in for them using WNetGetUser.
