In light of the Moq... situation... an @getsdkbin update - we're rewriting our "NuGet meets AppStore" platform from scratch in order to fulfill our mission. Details: aaronstannard.com/sdkbin-rew…

In light of the Moq stuff, maybe now is a good time to put this in public: we haven't shared much about @getsdkbin (NuGet meets App Store) recently. I'll address that briefly here and longer subsequent blog post: 1. It's been a commercial success for us. 2. Is implemented extremely poorly - I didn't write any of the code (other than our Pulumi bits) but it's my biggest failure ever as an engineering manager. Have already promised to do a live "post-mortem" stream on that. 3. We've prioritized other projects over the past couple of years - but recently we've decided we want to change how Phobos is licensed and distributed (make it easier to do trials / use for free under various revenue thresholds) and we can't do that with Sdkbin's current limitations. 4. We're re-writing it - spent a month trying to rescue the existing implementation earlier this year and decided that it's beyond saving it. 5. I'm personally leading the re-write effort and it'll be done with all of the lessons we've learned about the business realities of Sdkbin - i.e. how to deal with complex issues like 100% of your previous contacts with a B2B customer all leaving and needing to replace them with the same tenant / license id. 6. We're getting back on-track with supporting third party publishers - we opted not to do that with the previous implementation given the inflexibilities and tech debt required to fix it. 7. Probably won't happen this year, but we're adding support for selling support plans through Sdkbin. We need it for our own use cases. Supporting OSS really requires creating a business - we're trying to lower the logistical overhead of doing that. This is my passion and my mission and why I've spent nearly 10 years working full-time in .NET OSS.

I'm streaming on Twitch tonight at 7pm CDT (~1 hr from now) twitch.tv/stannardian Going to: - Build @getsdkbin DDD/ES protocol design and state modeling - Begin integrating a second domain with the first (part of the design validation process) - Wonder why I didn't use F#

Going live tonight on twitch at 7pm CDT (~1hr, 15 minutes from now) twitch.tv/stannardian I'm going to work live on the code for @getsdkbin v2.0 which at the moment involves: event sourcing a bunch of immutable C# domain events and models types using @AkkaDotNET

Finally have a Twitch schedule up: twitch.tv/stannardian/schedu… 7pm - 9pm CDT on Tuesdays / Thursdays _Tonight_, I'm going to discuss: - Developer salaries - from both sides of the table - BabelJS and OSS funding in general - OSS cost drivers and why they matter
