Try to update a little project created back in 2019. Oh I used WCF and WCF is gone. Learn about gRPC. Port the service to gRPC protobuf. Find all the nuget packages to get it working in C#. Fix the broken vcproj for proto files. Figure out a replacement for NetTcp. Try gRPC in C++. Learn to integrate vcpkg. Create overlay ports to fix conflicting libraries. Teach VS to compile proto files to cpp. Find out grpc c++ doesn't (yet) support unix domain sockets for IPC. Pick another protocol. etc etc

@b0rk I use p4 for most of my work but I do really miss git's ability to commit just part of a file. It makes splitting up commits much easier.

@djlink most devs optimize to their incentives. Task velocity is usually praised heavily and so first solutions become the final shipped solutions.

@hjvt @lesley C++ calls a container an iterator? Huh? That is a nonsensical statement.

@aras @logicalerror @forrestthewoods a similar thing was done for Wolfenstein development. I always thought it was a great idea. Especially made updating the project and toolchains trivial to roll out to the entire team.

@dee fwiw I've been really liking https://git-fork.com

@Lumpbucket I changed my browser to Firefox just now. Seems companies can't help but destroy all their good will lately.

@sebbbi seems a decent time to jump to me. I finally deleted the app formerly known as.bird a few days ago.
