Not so much the team but The build here depends on codegen via excel. Most of it is pulled into hashmaps because who cares if a build is a few seconds faster. You can’t guarantee the order of iterators from a hashmap so some of the mysterious failures might be down to that.
I'm no expert but I reckon if your build process depends on Excel then you might have done goofed.
There’s a weird affinity for in house codegen here. Its on my list of things to write in the Cardigan Cycle when I get fired.

if you need to keep things in the order of keys
Sorting by hash(key) is a consistent ordering of keys.

might havedefinitely done goofed.Really, there's no "might have" about it. It could be worse, though. You can at least store Excel files in your least-hated(1)(2) versioning system. Relying on data stored in a database over there would make it worse.
(1) I hope this means "the versioning system you're using", because if you hate that one over there less, why aren't you using it instead? ...
(2) Does anybody actually like a specific versioning system? I get liking the idea of versioning systems, but they all suck in some way or other.

Yes, and if you find a user who wants that then don't bother to let me know.

I like fossil, except for it not integrating with any IDE that I've ever seen.

I remember when they were up and walking around. I had a pet Brontosaurus called Lenny that I would ride to work and take for walks in the evening. Not that I needed a ride to work. The oxygen in the atmosphere was thicker then and I could practically skip to work. I think of Lenny sometimes. He’s probably powering my Model T in jolly jaunts around the neighbourhood. He would like that I feel. Serving his master one last time.

@dkf As I said, they all suck in some way or other. (Perforce at least integrates with (some versions of)(1) Visual Studio.)
(1) VS2019
brokechanged, in incompatible ways, the long-standing VS source control API. That's major suckage in its own right...

It's so cute when a young developer still wet behind the ears is discovering the world.

Because deciding which tools to use is above my pay grade. I'm using the one the rest of the project is using and/or mandated by boss+N.

Given that it was the early 2000, it is also entirely possible that the actual pictures were just sitting in a folder next to the main blog page.
That was how I hacked playboy magazine (or was it penthouse?) back in the mid 1990ies: they showed a "preview" image on their front page, and promissed more images if you bought a subscription.
Well, I checked the html, and it said for the image something like
img src=/img/img42a.gif
So I played a little with the filename at the end, and ...

@remi Not so quickly. I had internet access at work only...

You're a slow stroker?
Has to keep one hand by the boss switch.

We need a "goddamnit fbmac" banner at the start of these old threads.
Feature request: present posts in a gradually degraded manner according to their age. E. g. after a month or two some letters will get a bit slanted and a few specks of dust appear, after a year the text starts to fade, maybe some mold starts growing on the background, then some letters go missing, random graffiti appears on top of the text, etc.
Maybe have it change colour, ranging from gray to a pale blueish gray. Some kind of temperature-oriented map, if you will

@HardwareGeek That works as a reason. (I'm not a big fan of git, but I use it at $JOB because that's what $JOB uses. Sigh. At least I know how to make it behave itself without it totally fucking up in all directions.)
