@Bhavani_00007 Ummm VB6. I guess I just aged myself.

as a dev, what was your first code editor?

@Dave_DotNet Store the image outside the db. They make db and backups larger and doesn’t optimize display (say on a webpage) as well as a CDN does. In SQL Server they used to have FileTables to give you the best of both worlds. Not sure if people still use them though.

If Product schema has" Image", should you store the actual "Image" in Azure Blob storage or just directly in SQL DB? 👀 #dotnet

SE Michigan folks: Any interest in a in-person Linux Install Day? Check out various distros, see what others are up to, do some networking etc. Win10 EOL is coming quick and I bet most of us have a machine to repurpose.

@housecor I totally understand the feeling, I’ve been in the same boat. What makes it ironic for me is that I build AI systems and still feel that way.

Confession: The last year has been hard for me. AI has me feeling uneasy about my software development career. Part of me thinks "Why bother if an AI may do it better soon?" But for now, AI can't replace us. So for now, I keep pushing.

@DavidGiard Thank you!!! Much appreciated.

Happy birthday, @bkorzynski

@saltnburnem @GantLaborde lol, no I’m good. I’m busy implementing my own idea, and it’s going really good so far.

@bkorzynski @GantLaborde If I tell you then you’ll steal my idea

I have this really cool idea to build an app that uses a bit of AI. Thanks for the guidance @GantLaborde !! #DeveloperCommunity

@saltnburnem Lee Brandt. Not sure if he’s still there or not, but either way could probably hook you up.

Do I have any friends that still work at Okta?

@webenologyinc @DevLeaderCa That’s a very fair point. Most of what I do is backend processing. This is how I learned microservices back in the day. With REST services I don’t usually differentiate between a service and a microservice, since they are essentially the same thing just smaller.

@bkorzynski @DevLeaderCa But with queues you have to add extra processing if you're waiting for a reply. I think it depends on your use case. Rest api communication between microservices that you need an answer from and that isn't long running and queues if you're looking for more of a run and forget.

Are you building microservices in DotNet? How do you ensure communication and integration between services?

@DevLeaderCa I’ve done both for many years. Remote is so much better. If done properly you don’t lose much over being in person and you get a lot more freedom.

Remote vs in-person for software development? If you've done both, what's been your experience?

@DevLeaderCa Serilog and Seq, especially in development environments

How do you handle error logging and monitoring in .NET applications? Any favorite tools or services?

@introvertsmemes The Czech Republic

Name ONE

@Matt_Pinner Just off the top of my head: Chile, Mexico, The Czech Republic, Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus.

Can you ?

@sadukie Definitely agree with that. The Beetles one was really cool when they had it.

@sadukie Awesome. I really liked that one when we saw it a few years back. Ka and Mystere are great too, especially if you’re in Vegas.

@sadukie I love Cirque I’ve seen over 20 different shows. Which one was it?

@PcPhilanthropy IBM 8088

What was your first computer?

@DevLeaderCa First and foremost follow industry best practices. That way I don’t have to worry about performance until it becomes a problem (like 5% of time). Then I use dotMemory and dotTrace for profiling. Both are from JetBrains and both are great. I highly recommend.

How do you approach performance optimization in .NET applications? Any specific tools or methodologies?

@dustinmoris I agree you should be using MediatR and just have IRequest and IRequestHandler (already provided). It doesn’t make sense to roll your own.
