My .NET 🌶️ take?

There are literally no spicy .NET takes in 2024 and we should get over the propensity towards bike-shedding drama.

I've been telling everyone not to use the 'Var' keyword for YEARS.

Use 'Dim' instead!

It's the law of nature when you put together a few boolean flags they start creating a new form of life - RSM - Random State Machine.

Let it live in the distributed environment and it evolves into Eventually Inconsistent Random State Machine.

One of our biggest hopes for pl/dotnet was to treat F# as a first-class citizen, and we did. Every single feature is fully tested in both C# and F#.

You want 300-400 level content? Just two engineers and some code? Announcing a new series with me and Stephen Toub (and more guests to come!)

I've released a new C# library, Utf8StreamReader! It's a StreamReader based on UTF8. Compared to processing with a regular StreamReader, the allocations are 240,000 times different! (when processing 1 million lines)

This perspective underscores that crafting distributed systems is the intricate task of composing holistic processes from individual messages

There's a very large and clear difference between OSS oriented dotnet and the vastly larger world that never uses any of this stuff unless forced to.

The bar is incredibly low for the median developer

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that the Garnet research project is now open source! Garnet is our new cache-store that offers very high performance and adopts the popular RESP wire protocol of Redis. Check it out at github.com/microsoft/garn… and see our blog post quoted here.

My typical workflow as a performance enthusiast:

1. Write the naive solution to a problem
2. Optimize it
3. Benchmark both solutions
4. Pretend it never happened

i think that microsoft and c# are just the best.

Part 2 of my 'Higher Kinds in C# with language-ext'] is now available.

For those who have signed up, thank you! I'm still fighting Mailgun to try and get the automated emails working -- hopefully it'll be sorted soon!

As the next release of language-ext is going to be a beast; I have decided to start a blog documenting some of the new features coming down the pipe.

Starting with higher-kinds in #csharp #languageext

If we could only have one heuristic for determining the quality of a codebase I think it would be how easy it is to safely create / update functionality by composing existing functionality.

I think the big problem here is that people look at Microsoft and expect them to provide things for them. The .NET community never had a real chance to grow up.

My pet hobby is convincing friends that free-will doesn't exist. I'm insufferable.
