How dare I polish and remove kludges from previous releases. ๐Ÿ˜†

Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn't let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.

So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?

Really true. I hope "new UI" stays optional until I retire or become a potato farmer. I haven't worked long enough at Microsoft to deserve geese.

I admire your logic and life plan.

But, "deserve ... geese"? Need more data.

A reference to the software engineer who worked 20+ years at Microsoft and then became a goose farmer. The LinkedIn post became viral.
