I thought I'd give old C# and .NET a spin for some side project idea. Compiling a simple C# hello-world app to WASM takes 82 seconds! When I use Go with the same build target/env the, time is ~2 sec. Sigh I think I'll stick with Go

Dumb Kubernetes naming decisions #274 - kube-proxy is not actually a proxy, no traffic or data flows through it

Honestly kudos to Apple for keeping their DEI promises well into 2025 and employing a 100% blind design team

Microsoft laid off the senior engineers of .NET on Android and key figures of Maui. This might just be the US wave, so perhaps the whole thing is doomed.

This book destroyed a generation of programmers. I was one of them. Took a very long time to unlearn this crap.

I used to think Design Patterns weren't worth learning. Personally, I've seen people use a complicated design pattern to solve a simple problem. But Uncle Bob says Design Patterns is a masterpiece. I'm a simple person, so I'll give it a read. Are you with me?

I love how Lua's answer to everything is a table. Want an object? That's a table. An array? that's also table. You want maps, classes, modules? Yep all tables
