After 25 years at CodeProject I'm making a change. I've spent nearly a quarter of a century helping developers share knowledge, learn, and overcome the hugely rewarding challenges of software development. It's been amazing but my focus needs to shift closer to home with a focus on family, wellness and balance. While I'm certainly sad to be moving on, I'm proud of what David Cunningham, myself and the rest of the team achieved.
I must have missed the announcement - I had to see this first over on LinkedOut[^].
And it looks like Matthew's moving on[^] as well.
The end of an era, and we didn't even get the chance to get blind drunk and make fools of ourselves raise a toast.

Sad to see them go, but they have earned a well-deserved rest and I wish them all the best

You don't think Kent Sharkey joined them too?
Haven't seen the Insider for two weeks now 
I missed the announcement on CP too, but read it on LinkedIn last week.

I don't know, but I'm starting to suspect there's something in the air - Chris Alcock of "The Morning Brew[^]" still hasn't returned from the 2-week break he went on at the start of August.
Combined with the terrible redesign of the MS Dev Blogs[^], I'm starting to think I might actually have to stop reading news and start doing work soon!

Wow! @Chris-Maunder it's a surprise, but I guess 25 years is a long time in one job, and anyone is going to get kinda stale after that.
Whatever you do, I hope it's good for you, and remember that we will miss your guiding hand enormously. Thanks for setting the site up, there is a whole generation of developers that has benefited from what you created.
And just remember, Dilbert got there first: Departure notice[^]

The guilt and attachment about quitting is stressing her. I get it, I never left a company, I left friends and workers. But I see the same cancer in my thought process from 30 years ago raging through her, and this is her first job. When I was trying to decide to retire my "boss" actually very very good friend told me, "You don't worry about billion dollar corporations. We're too old for that sh*t."
So, you youngsters I'm telling you now, you live in a mercenary world. Don't forget it. Avoid buying into this corporate "we're all family" bull$hit. As soon as you can, start your own business.
Going to stop now. I'm angry.

It's been like that since man first emerged from the primeval slime.

Amen. Corporate is not your friend; they are there to extract the maximum they can from you with minimum compensation.

This is not necessarily true. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur, and not everyone is cut out to run a business. However, if one remains an employee, be mindful of my previous comment.
Tell your daughter that leaving employment is a business decision, and emotion should play no part in it. If the business would collapse without her input, she should either be paid a (lot!) more than she currently is, or the owner(s) should be looking to recruit additional experts in her field. If the business cannot afford to employ additional experts, perhaps it has no economic justification. In any case, it is not her concern!

I felt bad the first time: my mentor was a close friend (35 guests at my wedding, his family was 3 of them) and the company took me in as a very green graduate and helped me a lot. The company sucked, they paid a manual labor rate for engineers even after 10 years with them.
Second time I felt free: body rental jobs are soul crushing, especially when your competence is wasted to be a figurehead.

It's so close to working top down, render as you parse.
Except for scaling. In order to support the "view box" feature you need to know the bounding rectangle that contains all the drawing items, which you can't have until you parse them all.
So I either get to parse twice, or store the whole doc in memory. For one feature.

I googled and found a web version of such tool: fluidui.com.
just check CP members here to find more options...
diligent hands rule....
|
|
|
|
|
Draw.io is free and offers some simple wireframing options.
Or use the free Silex Website Builder.

I recommend trying the free version of Figma[^].
