There was an interesting thread on /r/dotnet today My reply on this: I'm just kind of feeling exhausted in .NET basically re-inventing the wheel while we continue to have other gaps that could use filling, such as Microsoft's lackluster support of open source projects and the crunch of so...

This is something that kind of rolls around the industry a bit -- that as developers age out they get slower/less efficient/etc. whatever. There's a few fun takes on my part: I totally wrote more code when I was 20 Like that 4000 line file instead of making it completely data driven and what...

On this Reddit thread today, there was a discussion about .NET Aspire something I haven't heard about until now. One of the comments brings up this point: I.. uh... have we not been doing this with docker and seeders for... well, near a decade for now? How much of a struggle is it for...

I love the 50/50 split, anyway, it may be something we do someday, maybe requires login, maybe for users that specifically request access, probably don't want it public, not sure how we handle retention, but maybe someday longer-lived political stuff could be interesting. Today is not that day...

OK this is a funny one, we added Online auth (after Offline auth) so we could tell which user is logging into our app (auditing, permissions, etc.), cool. However randomly, very rarely, for specific user accounts, instead of getting a JSON response, we get an HTML response, when you dump the...

https://alirezanet.github.io/Husky.Net/ The ability to slap together in some nice pre-commit hooks, get decent cross-platform support, etc. is wonderful. CLI UX is great, I went from nothing to having it locking down one of our newer projects with a ton of pre-checks in a half an hour.

A lot of libraries have been moving closed-source/commercial lately (I also got some listed here that are older/people may not know because they kind of silently transitioned), for many of us these aren't options, so we'll keep a list of libraries that went this direction and recommended...

Wait you're saying you've got more hits this week than almost the previous year?

This is a bit of a two-fer question -- one we just passed December, the worst month for hiring in IT sectors it seems, and of course the general hiring slowdown/hemorrhaging of employees of some places. Does hiring pick up again in January? I haven't kept my finger on the pulse quite close...

An update to the EV Road Trips suck -- TLDR: it's a lot better when you don;t have to rely on the app lol (and there's enough chargers)

First and foremost, game spoilers must be spoilered! So this is your thread to post games that have a strong narrative impact on you, consider this a thread where we continue to scream this basically non-stop: These games are probably going to require a deep level of immersion to really get...

I've upped some anti-spam stuff and deleted all the spam accounts that were banned here, this generally shouldn't matter other than admins aren't going to have a constant spam queue every day to kick -- but I think we had one user that needed manual approval so it may be a problem for someone at...

Also, sadly, I cannot use these for the "like" replies, due to how the UI works, I wonder if there's a mod to do that... or an option.

Oh man I mean, RabbitMQ is pretty powerful, it gives you a lot more options vs. the more high-throughput "pipe A to B as fast as humanly possible" platforms like Kafka are (which I hate to even mention Kafka these days because I got people that keep coming back to Kafka for message queuing which...

*squints* Slack may use 24x24 or 16x16? Sigh, I can technically resize these on the fly again so no big deal, thoughts?
