Closing off the thread...
Even the easy stuff is good learning.
As a guy in his 2nd retirement (1st didn't stick) I can tell you I am
so happy not having to deal with work stuff. My buddies who are still
working tell me stories I find difficult to believe. They all say I'm
so politically incorrect that I wouldn't last a week in today's world.
If their stories are true, yeah, that's not for me.
Weird politics and crappy programmers, count me out.
I don't have to deal with the politics, and my team is good, but
the company has a lot of crappy code.
I am planning to retire quite soon, too. :-)

Did you do
generics? That and the run time, which had some real-time
bits to it (*IIRC*, it's been a long time), as well as the cross
object code type checking, would have been real bears.
None of those ring a bell so
Like many things, the first 90% is easy, the
second 90% is hard. :-)
I guess we did the easy stuff :-( Funny, I've come to the same conclusion, both in
programming and my
retirement hobby. There is always someone way better than me, but
you are correct, that doesn't mean I'm awful. Just have more to
learn.
Right.
But apparently the bar is pretty low these days and I
agree, that's sad.
And it makes it much less fun to be out in the working world. :-(
