Proud to be part of #teamdguk for 2023. Looking forward to the year and seeing what MA40 brings! instagram.com/p/CnCGjjIsgxk/ #teamdiscgolfuk #discgolf #discgolfUK #pdga

"Autofixture and IOptions<T> - A Winning Combination" by @WestDiscGolf dives into simplifying unit testing without mocking. Discover how AutoFixture can help you create clean, maintainable tests! 👉 Read more in this edition: bit.ly/3Yxp7id #dotnet #csharp

The lightning talk agenda is up for the @dotnetoxford meetup tonight! #dotnet meetup.com/dotnetoxford/e…

Talk 1 will be at @dotnetoxford in Sept. Talk 2 is tbc but it will be in Oct :-)

Back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off. Didn't manage to completely unwind (Just the way I'm wired!) but looking forward to jumping back in. I will be giving a couple of talks at meetups in the next 2 months so have been mentally planning those. Need to write them down now 😀

Lando!!

@ShahidDev I hear ya Shahid!

@WestDiscGolf Wondering where the first two thirds went 😅

What are you going to do with the last 3rd(ish) of 2024?

@shanselman @om1kron_ Very cool

@om1kron_ benq.com/en-us/campaign… it's the RD280

not me with 3 monitors wondering if I need a 4th monitor to put the teams chat on

Huge shoutout to @Kamil_Pakula, @dotnet, @WestDiscGolf, @ploeh, @kzu and all the fantastic contributors who made this week’s C# Insights truly special! Your dedication and expertise are what drive our community forward. Take a look here: bit.ly/3Mdiv1C

@KarenPayneMVP You can also add a deconstruct extension method on the type so you can use it implicitly :-) adamstorr.co.uk/blog/playing-w…

Different ways to return information from a method via deconstruction. gist.github.com/karenpayneoreg…

@Dave_DotNet You wouldn't want it on every method call tho, right? Feels like it would get annoying and hinder readability in some cases.

I did see this on GH -> github.com/dotnet/roslyn/…

Consider using Named Arguments in C# for improved readability of method calls 💡 Named arguments allow us to see what the constant values we are passing into a method correspond to without having to mouse over them or view the method definition. IMHO they are preferable to turning on inline hints in Visual Studio or Rider as we can see them outside the context of our IDE. The image below shows what named arguments look like, it's just an example. In this case of course it's possible to use a strongly typed class, struct, record etc. instead, note however Named arguments can also be useful when calling constructors too e.g.. -> var rectangle = new Rectangle(x: 5, y: 10, width: 20, height: 15, color: "blue"); I use Named Arguments often in my unit tests when I'm dealing with constants a lot. I've put a nice example of how they can be used to clean up our tests in the comments below as well. IMHO Named arguments give us a big readability win. What do you think? Do you use Named Arguments regularly? #dotnet

@TheDotNetDev Your article is not factually accurate at all. Please consider reviewing and updating it Your infographics are inaccurate, your statements about the frameworks are wrong

More poor information being spread. *sigh*

@madSimonJ @dotnetoxford Couldn't agree more Simon :-)

@dotnetoxford is one of my favourite meetups & lightning talks are a great way to try public speaking if you want to try it

Have just created the next @dotnetoxford lighting-talk event on Meetup, and the call for speakers is now open! I'm afraid it's in-person only. It's in Oxford, UK. If you're interested, then drop me a DM :) meetup.com/dotnetoxford/e…

Using the new TimeProvider in .NET 8 with Autofixture and the auto moq capabilities? Finding issues? Well you're not alone! adamstorr.co.uk/blog/timeprovi…

I know I shouldn't get frustrated but seeing bad, poor or just incorrect coding examples online really annoy me! Even more so when they are making out they are a source which should be trusted and copied!!

@carlcod_es Looks like you're having a great time Carl. Enjoy the time off!

After a cable car to the top of the mountain, we spent a few days at an Italian AgriCampeggio - a working farm which produces their own wine, fruit, and corn, livestock. The cattle and horses I don't mind, but those free-range chickens which insist on crowing at 5am can Do one!!

Holiday mode engaged! Car full of kids and a road trip around Europe, it’s only been 2 days so far but it’s already been amazing! Calais for supplies, a day around Bruges, am overnight in rural Belgium, then lunch in Luxembourg, dinner in Deutschland, camping in the Black Forest!

All I seem to do is block spam, bots or fake accounts etc. I thought the whole point was to stop this? And I wonder why I spend less time on here now? 🤔
