Thinking back on the prior Visual Studio story…
Is it weird that I look back at working for a start-up with a business plan that featured equal parts of code, Hindenburg and Titanic and made me think to myself, :"Run Forest, Run!"…with nostalgia?
Kind of hankering to write a RTS with the depth of some of Avalon Hill's old board games.
What tempers the idea is no-one has that sort of patience or attention span now.
Happy 20th Birthday, Visual Studio 2017 - What's your #myVSstory?
"Well…This one time, I spent nine hours working on some OLE objects and checked them into SourceSafe and it crashed. Upon restarting, all code completion had to be disabled because it would CTD when looking too far into some of our more deeply nested classes. It had to be reinstalled from scratch after that.
Oh and SourceSafe puked and I lost all nine hours of work to boot."
There's a reason they ask things like that on Twitter because Visual Studio stories are typically tragic and cannot be squeezed into 140 characters.
I forget what I call it when I have the thought, "I want to go back to a Linux laptop for a while". What's that word again? Oh…'Masochism'. The word is 'masochism'.
@ukhaiku They should have ridden off into the sunset after Wrath of the Lich King.
Note: I realize this is a unpopular position to take in some circles.

Clicking shuffle on an iPod makes me say things like, "How the hell did Gino Vannelli get on my iPod?"
Status: pop pop pop pop brrrrrrap pop pop pop pop
I need to plug the iPod in before it lulls me into a disturbing state of consciousness.
@jws Everyone is looking at what Bethesda did with Skyrim - Special Edition and are thinking of ways to expand upon, and subsequently screw up, the formula.

@larand I've been forced to scale mine back again.
"I'm your g*******d wife - Not an employee." was a pretty good hint :)
