    Lord Give Me Strength - Environment Names

    Because the world wants me to suffer, a customer is making us rename our environments. So here's our current names: Hotfix - Things that must go out soon, usually <24 hours Staging - Next less-rushed release, usually at least once a week, sometimes a few times a week Core - For longer-term...

    How Quick Can People Get Spun Up On Your Projects?

    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...

    Move Politics To The Forums

    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...

    Shopify Issue - Random Rare Failures of Online Auth With HTML Response

    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...

    If You're Not Using Husky.NET Do It

    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.

    Alternatives For FOSS .NET Libraries That Went Commercial

    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?

    So.... How Long Until The Hiring Market Recovers?

    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...

    Electric Car Infrastructure UX Difficulties Are Ruining Electric Cars

    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)

    Serious Your Favorite Story-Driven Games

    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...

    More Aggressive Anti-Spam

    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...

    MOAR SMILIES

    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.

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday Horror Stories

    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...

    MOAR SMILIES

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

    MOAR SMILIES

    :hmmm:Hmm.... Guess I finally got around to getting those Devanooga smilies into here. Because the forums have been basically impossible to use without them. :teehee: Process was kind of ridiculous: Export all of the emoji from Slack Have to do it in a real bullshit way because it takes too...
