The lamest thing about AI is that we now get tutorials and blogs about markdown files. This stuff used to be interesting

I hate these "coding isn't the hard part" tweets
I have been a part of and seen several companies not just struggling with "the right decision" but the culmination of their past technical decisions.
AI won't magically make this go away. Lines of Code is still a liability and producing it faster doesn't change or reduce it, if anything it increases liability.
Room temperature Twitter take strikes yet again

All signals are suggesting Discriminated Unions are finally on for C# 15 and #dotnet 11
ALT Discriminated Unions coming in .NET
Why do all the Agile and Scrum folks always say “because we’re not doing it correctly”. As if that’s some excuse for a failed system. If nobody ever “does it correctly” it’s fundamentally broken
Completely agree. The effects AI had on these folks are bad enough the last thing anyone wants is a reply like this one.
I'll say it again, I think this AI cycle we are in is a net negative on society
A man/team that has made the web significantly more pleasant as a platform for many people and spent years doing so for free has AI effectively destroy the business model by first taking his work
And this is how a member of the community responds. Real sad times
IP theft is real and I personally think that the C-suite of these current companies deserve jail time for the level of theft they enabled
I’m really not getting why there’s all this hype to cut ourselves out of a job. I get no joy coding with AI and ultimately will have to go back to being an electrician if everyone keeps this up.

Do you know that .NET 10 massively reduces the overhead of using any built-in collections via interfaces (yes, not only for arrays)?
Iterating a list via IList<T>, or dictionary via 'IDictionary<K,V>', etc., now has almost zero abstraction penalty!
First PR with github code quality monitoring, dismiss. Not sure github understands pattern matching in C#. Still pretty cool and it did catch me on something else.
AOT is the most underrated feature in modern dotnet. I just reduced our signalr message pack remote desktop support client from 70mb to 10mb. Aside from the startup performance we are rolling out to Latin America and a smaller delivery footprint is critical.
It wasn't exactly a trivial move to AOT but @aarnott MessagePack code generator saved the day. github.com/AArnott/Nerdbank.… Amazing job with these packages.

ship something shitty fast and fix it later culture just does not produce anything great
there's mountains of rationale as to why you should do that but i've never seen it work and it always turns the company into a painful place to work
nothing going on right now changes this

Spent a good bit of the day creating a #dotnet webapi AOT docker image using grpc and all sorts of fun. I'm impressed! That startup time and container size 💨💨💨
