Another small rant, two-for-one.
1) Debugging console applications with parameters is painful.
I need to test against all the possible combinations of arguments, can't do it properly though, need to pass through the debug options... which are persistent.
And the console does not stay open (yes the checkbox is unchecked, also ignored by VS).
And the breakpoint after the parsing moves the focus to the VS window hiding the Command prompt.
Every test is a clickity-clickity-typety-clickity-clickity-clickity-clickity-clak.

2) Structures in watch window do not stay expanded.
Add other clickity-clickity-claks to a simple test.
Basically the best way to test this behavior is inserting test code and debug prints, as we used to do when we had to chisel bits one by one onto EEPROMS with tiny hammers and a lot of patience.
Told you it was a rant.

Probably because it was modelled on languages which do allow execution to fall-through, and without an explicit break / return, early adopters might have thought the C# code was falling through.
[Proposal] Case fall through should be allowed · dotnet/csharplang · Discussion #603 · GitHub[^]
See also Eric Lippert's comments on SO:
C# enforces the no-fall-through rule in every switch section, including the last one. This is so that switch sections can be re-ordered arbitrarily, possibly by mechanical tools, without introducing semantic changes in the program.
C# enforces the no-fall-through rule by requiring that the end point of every switch section be unreachable. It is not necessary for a switch section to end in a break. It can end in a break, return, goto, continue, throw, or a detectable infinite loop:

For the most common scenario it just adds a line of code that has to be written which has no meaning.
It just clutters the code with additional meaningless lines. Bah, or better, ![Sheep | [baah]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sheep.gif) !

Got an email from Dell that some of my data had been compromised. They don't think any financial data was stolen. Another one, sigh.
It seems to me that the people on the dark side have it much easier. I have to screw around with passwords, text messages, and some ugly Microsoft security application on my phone to get to my data.
They just click. Doesn't seem right.
Oh well, every hundred years, all new people.

The police officer asked him "What do you do, where are you going and whose car is this?"
The minder replied "mine."

Came across an interesting article in IEEE Spectrum "AI Prompt Engineering is Dead".
It was only very recently that the job title of AI Prompt Engineer was even talked about.
Of course, it is applying AI to the job of enhancing the prompt that will eliminate the human from the loop.
I was used to idea of prompt engineering from trying to get search engines to return what I was looking for. Often I would throw various keywords into the search prompt to narrow down the results. Sometimes the search prompt only consisted of a list of words that made no logical sense but did return what I was looking for in the first page or so of results.
The article referred a tool called NeuroPrompts that generates prompts for Stable Diffusion XL.
(you should read the article to see how the reinforcement learning loops were used to optimize the image producing prompts). What was interesting was the one example given below:
Original Prompt: "a spotted frog on a bicycle"
Optimized prompt:"a spotted frog on a bicycle, intricate, elegant, highly detailed, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration, art by artgerm and greg rutkowski and alphonse mucha and william-adolphe bouguereau and beau and stunning and rivol pairing, and stained glass detailed and intricate and elegant and splendid, generous, creamy."
