@kdfrawg Worth it.
@hazardwarning The smug look of satisfaction my mother gives me after years of, "You're going to pay for that when you get older" and me rolling my eyes at her. :)
@larand You people are fun to invite to the north-east in winter.

YES! My knee and my foot are aching badly and I am having to limp for a couple of seconds when I leave a chair! My right hand is also throbbing!
It will rain soonish.
@kdfrawg Ours is supposed to start by 9:00pm but I have my doubts.

@phoneboy 28/83f and rooting for the first rain in over a month to hit. Hopefully.

@matigo A lot of the framework stuff was bittersweet to me. I truly wanted the stuff to work and so often, it didn't.
I mean, look at MFC. It was a bunch of C++ classes designed by people who didn't really "get" C++.
It was hard to trust frameworks after dealing with that.

@matigo You have to realize, too, that managed languages went against almost everything you were taught or experienced.
"They say this stuff will automatically know when to dereference and dispose of this object. HAHAHAHAAHAHA. They are on drugs!"
Also, it didn't help that most of it was being done on a platform with "BASIC" in the name. Especially to people like me who thought that every word Dijkstra uttered was golden.
It took me a while to get comfortable with that concept.
