@LucasSWGirl I'm never going to "check out" because that's intellectually lazy. I do hate several of the films in the though (the prequels, because they were SUCH a mess in every way) but I think it's funny that all the prequel fans these days get so butthurt by the sequels and the TV shows

I'm hearing a lot of fans saying The Acolyte is the final straw. If you've checked out, what caused you to do it ? For me it was The Last Jedi and specifically the scene where Luke tossed away his father's lightsaber for lols just so Ruin Johnson could subvert expectations.

@davidfowl Agreed, but some these days can't even be bothers learning the basics of CSS when they try to build websites. I blame Artificial Intelligence lol

Every programmer should learn how to read a stack trace or back trace. Do not panic! There's important information in there, learn to read and understand it.

@davidfowl In my job, programming is 3 straight days of meetings, 2 weeks of chasing Azure resource migration tasks because MS have deprecated services, 8 days of fixing DevOps pipelines and 5 days of training in some overly complex JS tool/framework to write 10 lines of code

@davidfowl Waaayyyy too many "centering a div" jokes (2 is too many) in the replies to this. Even a junior dev these days knows how to center content

Working with really good front end engineers is magical. Watching people crank out beautiful UI is a treat.

@mjovanovictech Having said this, however, I do often write them "tall" ass I hate it when it *does* wrap over to another line, and I know that many other devs don't have such wide screens

@mjovanovictech I struggle with this, to be honest - if it's a short LINQ query (and even if it's moderately long, say 3 clauses or so) I prefer to write it "wide" as I have a wide screen monitor and it's definitely easier for legibility that way when you have a wide screen.

When writing LINQ, try to go tall, not wide. Here's what I mean. Instead of writing a LINQ expression like this: 𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚜.𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎(𝚊 => 𝚊.𝙷𝚊𝚜𝙱𝚒𝚐𝙴𝚊𝚛𝚜).𝙾𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛𝙱𝚢(𝚊 => 𝚊.𝙸𝚜𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚜).𝚂𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚝(𝚊 => (𝚊.𝙸𝚍, 𝚊.𝙽𝚊𝚖𝚎)).𝚃𝚘𝙻𝚒𝚜𝚝();

@DanCanCode It's absolutely a form of confirmation bias - an echo chamber. They just essentially fed you more of what you've already been consuming, right? It's why several years ago I, as a dotnet dev, made a conscious effort to seek out content relating to other tech stacks.

The whole .NET ecosystem feels like a strange beast the Twitter algorithm has kept hidden from my attention. The same goes for you YouTube algorithm. Guess there was enough stuff in the JS ecosystem to keep the suggested content feeds overflowing.

I never understood using .NET projects to physically separate architecture layers. Are the projects reused? Are they packaged and published individually? If you said no to any of these questions then just use folders. Your developers can be trusted to respect logical boundaries.

@nickchapsas @khellang This is a good point, but it does reflect something of an utopia. Most teams/orgs in real world do not create the right conditions for this sort of thing unfortunately. At least, that's my experience.

@khellang As an engineering manager I preferred to level the team up, not add pointless training wheels to the code.
