do i know any devs who work at Dell? if so can we have a chat about how many processes should be required just to control a monitors KVM

I am dropping off twitter. Too much spam, influx of hate speech, and shitty ads that may as well be spam. I may check it once a month. but no guarantees. Want to chat? including for the OSS I work on: * bluesky: @simoncropp.bsky.social * Mastodon: @simoncropp@hachyderm.io

STOP on RED, but please wait for GREEN.

New version of WinDebloat that removes the Explorer 3D Objects navigation #explorer-3d-objects" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/SimonCropp/Win…

MarkdownSnippets github.com/SimonCropp/Mar… MarkdownSnippets is a tool extract snippets from code files and merges them into markdown documents. All the above use its features to drastically reduce the effort in maintaining docs.

PandocNet CLI arguments github.com/SimonCropp/Pan… PandocNet is a lib to provide a .net api to talk to Pandoc. It uses CliWrap to provides strong typed options for document formats. The input and output docs are generated by using the type definitions in the assembly.

Polyfill extension method docs #extension-methods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/SimonCropp/Pol… Polyfill supports >600 APIs. Maintaining docs for that list, and the associated links to official MS docs is difficult to maintain. So instead Roslyn is used to interrogate each extension method and generate the docs.

I wanted discoverable guidance for each combo of the above. This results in 588 pages with a lot of partially duplicated content. So to make that easier to maintain, it is code generated. The result is a smooth wizard that feels dynamic, but is actually all static pages.

Code generated static documentation that I am really proud of:

There is specific docs for each of these things. However it is difficult to for a consumer to things all the docs that applies to their preference.

VerifyTests: Getting Started Wizard github.com/VerifyTests/Ve… Verify has customized support and features for the combination of the following: * OS * For people who prefer a CLI or UI experience * Choice of IDE * Test framework * CI

When a new item is added, it automatically appears in the docs. The correctness of the docs is ensured by tests that verify the jobs.

WinDebloat item docs #default-items-removed--disabled" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/SimonCropp/Win… There are classes that handle each items to debloat. Code interrogates that job, and there associated properties, to generate the docs for how to manually apply/undo each item.

@andyboothuk so DerivePathInfo doesnt work for that scenario? #derivepathinfo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/VerifyTests/Ve…

@SimonCropp Verify is brilliant. Introduced its use recently at a major UK bank! I’ve tried to formalise test artefact naming, to have {testname}.http.json (stub data) and {testname}.verified.json sitting side by side. Having a helper to share the file name resolution would have been handy.

anyone want help getting started on snapshot testing in .net?

@davidfowl glad to hear. Anything i can tweak to make it easier for you?

@SimonCropp We LOVE your tool! Using it on aspire and asp.net core

@gep13 @nuget I can only assume i am going crazy and did not deploy two versions of the nuget

@SimonCropp @nuget Did you get to the bottom of this?

so this is a first. my @nuget Verify.Ulid was randomly deleted nuget.org/packages/Verif… broke a users build github.com/VerifyTests/Ve… I re published it several hours ago to get them unstuck it was published early jan 2025. Note that the original version 0.1.0 bizarre #Dotnet

starting to think i am crazy and that i never published this for two tags.
