"Connection reset by peer" is simultaneously on of the most helpful and unhelpful errors you can hit. It tells you exactly what happened but also doesn't really help provide any insight into _why_ it happened.

You got to have fun with things sometimes: "Find time to do training to help improve what I can deliver to the core team, achieving synergies whilst simultaneously redefining the professionality of development, becoming a force multiplier of efforts to achieve goals."

This but also dotTrace and dotPeek - such awesome tools to have at your disposal.

Using commercial .NET packages are truly a pain to work when their IL is obfuscated. It makes it far harder to work out various subtle behaviours the code can have. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if there was even minimal IntelliSense docs but still...

Tailscale is pretty cool - was probably the most seamless experience I've had connecting two remote systems. It would be cool if the MagicDNS worked with your own domain name somehow. Also, not being able to rename your organization is a weird choice.

When did Mars get this close? 😅

My favorite slide - performance does matter:

📢 Maximizing Algorithm Performance in .NET: Levenshtein Distance, by James Turner 👉 youtu.be/-LEW0LgYvUo In this session from #JBDotNetDays, James Turner walks us through his journey using different array structures, pointers, SIMD, and threading. #dotnet

I don't know what to say, honestly was not expecting this 😳 Let's just hope I'll be worth it. Thanks Microsoft , thanks Microsoft MVP Communities 🎉 #MicrosoftMVP #MVPBuzz

First #csadvent today is from James Turner - Ref-structs are technically obsolete turnerj.com/blog/ref-struc… #csharp

New blog post: Proxying Rainbow Six LAN for WAN with .NET I managed to get a traditionally LAN-based game to behave with #Tailscale through a custom piece of C# code. turnerj.com/blog/proxying-… #csharp #dotnet

Haven't posted in a while (been busy with life but also mainly on Mastodon now) but wanted to share about my time at the MVP Summit. Had some really solid sessions but more importantly, met some really awesome people and had some great conversations. Would do it again! #mvpbuzz
