To the awesome dev who just grabbed the FIRST copy of Rock Your Code: Code & App Performance for .NET — you rock harder than a stack trace at 2am 🤘 Thanks for supporting the laptop fund! 🙏 😉 dotnettips.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/roc… #dotnet10 #RockYourCode

@mkristensen YES. I use it to bookmark code I need to go back and look at, usually before I am done with a task. I don't make them permanent. If I need to investigate later (after the task), I use TODO's.

Do you use bookmarks in Visual Studio? Tell me why or why not?

@mkristensen I was using the wrong link. Sorry about that. Let me know if you have any questions.

@mkristensen No, I'm not sure what happened when I pasted the link. Here is the direct link: developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Visual-Studi…

Recruiters: transparency isn’t optional — it’s the price of admission. If you won’t share the company, the stack, or the pay… don’t expect a reply. Engineers, stop rewarding vague outreach. Good recruiters earn trust by telling the truth. 🌟 #recruiters dotnettips.wordpress.com/2026/03/18/dot…

Logging is one of the easiest ways to destroy performance without realizing it. Hidden allocations, unnecessary string formatting, and bad patterns add up fast. If your app logs heavily, you need to read this. 👇 #dotnet #dotnet10 #MVPBuzz dotnettips.wordpress.com/2024/03/20/gen…
