@autocar I like it. But the design language is Dacia.

Renault has unveiled the Bridger concept, a rugged, compact SUV which will be sold with ICE, hybrid and EV powertrains 👀 buff.ly/oodapxf

@mjovanovictech I always find getting a flag needing an async call a bit inconvenient and the call itself quite verbose. Wish the pattern were simpler.

@phoronix Wow. Ben Adams is legendary for his dotnet performance work some time ago. He seemed to gravitate away from his efforts - everyone deserves a change of scene I guess - then returns with this monumental piece of work. Pretty inspiring.

@WarrenInTheBuff Depends on a teams Definition of Done. It should be releasable. Quote 2 weeks, that means ready to deploy.

Idk what PM needs to hear this but 2 weeks to finish a feature does not mean the feature is released in 2 weeks. It means the last commit of the feature will be merged 2 weeks from today's date There are builds to cut, mistakes to fix. Try smoke testing for us for once, alright?

@Monz_ah Hard disagree. Argos is conveniently in every Sainsbury’s near us. Availability and pricing of branded items, like Samsung TVs is great. Find it far easier to find a brand in stock I trust than on Amazon.

Sainsbury's bought Argos back in 2016 for £1.4 billion and proceeded to run that shit into the ground lol They have no stock for like 90% of items, you have to click and collect the item 24-72 hours later when it arrives Meanwhile John Lewis and Amazon have ate their market up from both ends This used to be a high street staple brand

@Mubarak_mubious Listening.

what’s a subtle sign that someone is actually really intelligent, but pretending not to be ??

@Dave_DotNet Surely one Copilot could have addressed as tech debt? Noticed they seemed to spend January trialing Copilot on various tech debt issues.

Use [] instead of Array.Empty in corelib ⬇️ #dotnet

What’s the science behind it saying 330 but it’s a 2.0l? Wasn’t the 330 a 3.0l at some point?

@kotecinho @KuhlRacingJapan Temu Porsche Dakar. But it’s pretty awesome all the same.

Can C# 14 file-based apps be used simply for AI Skills?

@vyrotek It’s the mandatory base library where I contract. But sadly trying to use a state machine library for long lived workflows is painful and verbose, whilst not really solving reliability and scaling. It’s no doubt being misused. I wish I could go back to Azure Durable Functions.

The C# state-machine we wrote from scratch at work was good enough but has some rough edges. A bit too OOP and influenced by how I make them for gamedev. I've started rewriting a feature using Stateless and quite like it!

@Dave_DotNet It’s not just Async suffix, it’s remembering to properly use CancellationToken. Skimping on the conventions may lead to partial implementation.

Are you still adding an 'Async' suffix to your async methods in #dotnet? Why / Why not? 🤔

@danpdc Projects regularly fail due to architecture?

I've watched 8 Vertical Slice Architecture projects fail. Same pattern. Same timeframe. Same result. 7 of them were not led by me. So I don't think it's just a "me" prooblem.

@techyoutbe Time to master yaml not Go.

@maryjofoley Saying Azure DocumentDB was Azure CosmosDB is slightly ambiguous? It’s only the CosmosDB for MongoDB variant perhaps. Their separate nosql Azure CosmosDB product remains.

@DiscussingFilm Is there a plus side to this change?

Apple TV+ has rebranded to Apple TV. The studio says this is their “vibrant new identity”

@GergelyOrosz I’m less a mini breaks guy, more a take a 40 minute bike ride between meetings to refocus person.

What are effective ways you've found to "protect your motivation / energy / focus" at work? I mean stuff that means that you can show up day after day, week after week to do good work you care about.

@Dave_DotNet Suprised by the negative responses. Anyone done serverless, distributed systems or outbox pattern. It’s super useful.

Call an Azure function from an Azure SQL DB 💡 #dotnet Yes, this is possible. The sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint stored procedure allows us to invoke an HTTPS REST endpoint provided as an input argument to the procedure. Anyone used it yet?

@KacperOchmanski @CinnamonRoll197 @tnm Agree. Few engineers want the hassle of attending raid and dependency meetings.

@CinnamonRoll197 @tnm yeah but keeping everyone in sync is hard still (especially in distributed teams)

just met an engineering team that fired their manager after installing a slack bot that asks "so how we looking on the project guys" every 124 minutes

@housecor I like the conventions at my current contract - dev1 (main), dev2 (release), dev3 (hotfix), sit, pre, prod. As it fits their release strategy well of having mainline, full release and hotfix all being engineered concurrently.

I'm curious - Who's doing development with just two environments? (dev and prod) Would love to hear your experience and approach. If you have more environments, why do you feel they're necessary?
