I won't disagree with that. And "better parenting" is a solution. However, what about the children who don't have the advantage of "better parenting"?

Rightfully blaming bad parents is reactionary

An app can still steal focus with `uiAccess=true` in the app manifest's execution level (and the app is signed).

You didn't blindly use it, you still used your expertise. You gave it a high quality prompt and you understood the reply enough to adjust it.

In other words, you used it correctly. It complimented your expertise, rather than replace it.

I think they're saying that is the value added work, which they don't do.

In most cases that only tests a students memory and handwriting ability, while under pressure in a limited time.

Can't perform any research, compare conflicting sources, or self-reflection.

I use BackInTime, which works in a similar way but is much more configurable. I have hourly backups of all my code for the past day, then a single daily for the past week, etc.

Saved my ass a few times.

The Windows ecosystem supports those devices (which are irrelevant to servers anyway). ie, it's the manufacturers that support Windows, rather than the OS supporting them.

And if they decide to split the donations equally, a few crappy clients would get made, just to get a slice of the pie.
I doubt they'd even need to go through Microsoft
Many in this industry have been saying this for a while now.

"I think that I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass."

> They have a staging system which is supposed to give clients control over this but they pissed over everyone's staging and rules and just pushed this to production.
While I agree with the requirement, but it sounds like a vault would need to have an unlocked door with a sign.
I've had this too.

Be pragmatic and move on (mentally), and don't make it personal nor seek revenge. I'm sure it would be tempting to make them suffer like you have, but if doing so will make you worse off then you already are (be it financially or emotionally), what's the point.

Accept the base line outcome is zero, don't make it less than that and anything extra is a bonus.

incremental compiles. Changing a single line should not take over a minute to compile in 2024.

And it's not even a "truly large" project, your patronising tone is wasted.
