@samidip Very pro sun energy here, but until battery tech makes another leap I find it hard to make going full electric make sense at least up here in northern areas where you may need multiple days of heating with very little sun. you'll drain your batteries too fast vs using gas heat.

Controversial hot take: Takes setup. Not for everyone. Ours is an almost all-electric household. All EVs. Powered by solar panels. Nothing wrong with gas. Just has fluctuations. Let's leave it for the big stuff that electricity cannot do. Energy independence is beautiful. For households. For communities and countries.

Testcontainers is hands down the best way to write integration tests in .NET. You can run your external services in Docker containers, which you can access from your tests. Here's how to spin up SQL Server in a container. 👇

Optimize for clarity, not cleverness. Readable solutions scale better than impressive ones. The next developer reading the code may be tired, rushed, or unfamiliar with the system. #UnwrittenDevRules

Another old project of mine, Tomlyn, just got a major refresh with the 1.0 release: xoofx.github.io/Tomlyn/ - a solid, modern foundation for working with TOML in .NET.

Next up in my continuing series on Patterns for C# Devs! Want logging? Wrap it. Need retries? Wrap it. Caching? You guessed it. The Decorator pattern lets you stack behavior like Legos without touching your core code. alanbarber.com/post/the-decor…

Early this morning my grandmother passed away, peacefully in her sleep, at the grand age of 100 years. She was a sweet, loving woman and her love language was baking. Any time we visited we would be treated to a slice of the greatest homemade pie you would ever experience.

@estnonmeaculpa @Dave_DotNet Almost every project I've been on has been a mix of EF and Dapper. Much of my time is spent ripping out Dapper and showing how EF is just as fast if you know what you're doing. Never run into an issue in 20 years that made me think I need to roll my own.

@Dave_DotNet Does anyone still use EF? Rolling your own isn’t really that difficult and the benefits are enormous.

@rob_stemp @Dave_DotNet It's usually junior devs trying to build a name for themselves... you should see all the posts in the opensource reddit from new devs asking which projects they should work on to pad their CV/resume. 🤦

@Dave_DotNet There's some complete amateurs around spewing this nonsense, simply because they have no idea about the actual tech

@_CalvinAllen Honestly been working on starting one myself. Been dabbling with the idea of doing a weekly "what's happening in dotnet" type of channel.
