Man Hours Estimated

**Average Output**: On average, programmers in a production environment might produce about 10 lines of code per day[3][4]. This figure takes into account the entire development process, including planning, coding, testing, and debugging.

Therefore 47 years 9 months 9 days to develop, by 1 developer.

Count the number of lines of code on Windows with Wordpress and WooCommerce examples

There is an excellent opensource utility called CLOC (Count Lines of Code).

Cloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages, and is quite performative.

AI Coding Challenge - Part 3 Using DeepSeek to get innermost string between strings

I asked DeepSeek to generate C# code to get the innermost string between strings.

It beat Copilot and the very convoluted Grok in this test. The implementation worked, even with basic edge cases, unbalanced delimiters.

AI Coding Challenge Major Fail - Part 2 using Grok to get innermost string between strings

I asked Grok to generate C# code to get the innermost string between strings. The initial test case worked, but soon realized with some testing of edge cases, this implementation failed. 

Live Code (returns no result for test case that has uneven delimiters).

AI Coding Challenge Major Fail - Why AI coding still has a long way to go

I asked Microsoft's AI Chat 'Copilot' to generate C# code to get the innermost string between strings. This is generalized version of getting a string between braces. Copilot generated a very plausible result, and even gave an example input and output. But the output, was very wrong. It was very misleading, given the very convincing Explanation below.

Conveniently, we can test this code for accuracy. 

The output describe is "Innermost", which is the ideal output. 

The actual output if you run the code is "Innermost]Middle".

TL;DR

When you go for a credit check, or cancer treatment, or battle policy cost increase, can you so easily argue the 'computer is wrong'?

        string result = GetInnermostString(input, start, end);
        Console.WriteLine("Innermost string: " + result);

Best modern way to remember days of the month

Never forget the number of days in the month, using the following memory method or 'mnemonic'.

Odd numerical months are 31 days and even are 30, except when calendar authors got a hangover/vacation in August (08) and bumps the rest of the calendar by 1 month.

Month	Abbreviation	Month       Numerical	Month No. of days	Johnny Mnemonic	Qtr	Season
January	Jan.	1	31	odd month	Q1	Winter
February	Feb.	2	28  (common year) 29  (leap year/4)	Jan-3 (even month - 2)	Q1	Winter
March	Mar.	3	31	odd month	Q1	Spring
April	Apr.	4	30	even month	Q2	Spring
May	May.	5	31	odd	Q2	Spring
June	Jun.	6	30	even	Q2	Summer
July	Jul.	7	31	odd	Q3	Summer
August	Aug.	8	31	summer vacation / hangover	Q3	Summer
September	Sep.	9	30	bumped	Q3	Autumn
October	Oct.	10	31	bump-odd now	Q4	Autumn
November	Nov.	11	30	bump-even now	Q4	Autumn
December	Dec.	12	31	bump-odd now	Q4	Winter

Historically, August was named by Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14. Another way to remember this...

• Augustus was born in 63 B.C. and named Gaius Octavius (Octavian) and was the grandson of Julius Caesar's sister.
• In addition to changing Sextilis to Augustus, speculation states that he took one day from February and one from September to add to his month, making it 31 days; because he apparently did not wish to have August with fewer days than Julius (July).

The calendar commonly used in modern America is the Gregorian calendar. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 and is a modification of the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar is widely used worldwide and is the calendar system officially followed by most countries, including the United States.

How to check or change the minimum password length in Windows

On Widows the max password length can be 127 long. I recommend the length of the current year 2025, a min password length of 25 characters long. 

1. Open the command prompt as an Administrator. 
   
   
2. To view the current minimum password length, enter the command 
   
   net accounts 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. To set a minimum password length, enter the command
   
   net accounts /minpwlen:n
   
   Range is 0-14, this has not change in Windows 11. National Institute of Standards and Technology recommends a minimum password length from 8 to 14 characters.
