Yeah, that's going to be annoying with a few of the platforms, but Discord doubly so because it's a "Gamer platform". Yeah, the chat is rough. If it isn't a huge pain, getting a server online to play with would be great, do you think we care about "importing" our stuff or do we cut, run and cry?

Background Well recently this article has been floating around: https://skyfall.dev/posts/slack TL;DR: an open group slack ended up crossing the threshold for free Slack for communities like ours, moving to $5k/yr (we're not there yet) and nailed them with another fee. While that's been fixed...

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?
