I can understand the feeling. It seems like they're adding a lot of fluff to the language. I kind of like the feature but then i've had a long (perhaps torrid) love affair with code generation in all its forms. My father was a toolmaker - his work was very meta, and so is mine. I guess I'm a toolmaker at heart, even though he didn't raise me.
I rely on pre-build steps a lot, but I haven't done pre-build scripting as such - i leave whatever heavy lifting needs to be done on the exe itself, and since i built it for being used as a pre-build step it's no problem

I am fairly familiar with code generation. I wrote my own scripting language a while ago and then changed it internally from an interpreted virtual machine to native machine code generation. That was two tons of fun. The debugging process was unlike anything I have ever done. I wrote my own debugger for it too. Imagine running a process written in the script language being debugged using your own debugger. I guess that's no big deal but now imagine also using VS's debugger on both of them. Debugging the debugger while it is debugging the scripted process which is also running in a VS debugger. It's kind of a mind-bender. Making it all work was too but it is and it's still going strong. We passed one thousand installed systems a while ago.

If the guy had pressed '1', perhaps then he would not have suffered the embarrassment at the end.
Also strange to note that an 18-floor building has only one elevator.

Suffer? Embarrassment? Tactical priorities can change any time and there is no trophy for second place. There is no time to discuss your actions, nor your orders. Any questions? I know a few drill sergeants who can help you.

This looks like a video from India, and I am referring to the Indian context. I'm not sure of the context in Europe.

I was too busy driving across Europe, as is my wont, to notice!
Cheers big ears, I'm happily back in Hungary, swimming pool is [looks out of window] 20 minutes from ready, but I'm working.
Might have mid-morning dip rather than elevenses or even as well as.

No use for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Because you get black pudding the traditional English pudding that has a dark appearance after that?
|
|
|
|

Why black pudding will be made only (? as far as I know) from pig blood?
Why isn't this made also from the blood of beef?

It is, sometimes: Did *you* know that Clonakilty black pudding is made from beef, not pork?[^]
It's a "regional thing": pigs needed less space than cows, so the "lower classes" had more access to pork than to beef - and since they needed to eat the whole animal (given that the church and "upper classes" robbed them blind at every opportunity) they found a use for the blood as well as the meat: black pud.
Where they had a supply of cows instead of pigs, they did the same with beef blood.

Why did you close your original post?
It makes all the responses look ... ummm ... odder than normal.

You can't - Protector and above only (and even then, unless you are staff, you have to close each message individually).
But why would you want to? There is nothing unpleasant or offensive here?
