Published a new version, added support for MediatR v14.0.0 #dotnet @jimmybogard.com github.com/fiseni/Pozit...

This was heavily downvoted on reddit :)

If an argument lasts more than 5 minutes, then both sides are wrong.

I think my data-binding library for creating Excel spreadsheets is almost ready for a 1.0 github.com/SimonCropp/E... Already using it in anger at work. Spreadsheet code that would have taken a few hours to build now takes a few minutes.

Published v0.4.0 There are breaking changes. The base infrastructure is updated, and the workflow is streamlined. I don't expect some drastic changes anymore. I think this one will be a good candidate for a stable release. #dotnet #csharp github.com/fiseni/NuSeal

Just a reminder. Now, I'm seeing this issue everywhere :)

For #msbuild folks. Is there a way to use arbitrary task name in UsingTask, and specify FQDN of implementation by other means? Ideally, I wouldn't want to use RoslynCodeTaskFactory and load/instantiate the impl manually. That approach seems flaky. #dotnet #csharp

The library is taking shape. Released v0.3 Now there is support for validation mode (error/warning), scope (direct/transitive), and other improvements. Check it out. I'm keen to hear from library authors and their requirements. #dotnet #csharp

I'd love if someone could confirm whether it's safe not to include System.Text.Json and its dependencies. The context is NuGet packages that publish MSBuild tasks. #dotnet #csharp #msbuild github.com/fiseni/NuSea...

📦 Announcing NuSeal A library to protect your NuGet packages with custom licensing! NuSeal provides the infrastructure for creating and validating licenses. It validates the licenses during build time. #dotnet #csharp github.com/fiseni/NuSeal

Auth libraries in .NET are a mess. It seems JwtSecurityToken is considered legacy and we should use JsonWebToken. The new one doesn't accept claims. Now we have to pass JSON? There are 10 ways how to create, read, validate JWT. I mean... ah nevermind #dotnet

If you need to suppress CS8618 warnings for private constructors. #dotnet #csharp github.com/fiseni/Priva...

Ok, this caught me off guard. In our benchmarks, this section is dead code but adds allocations. If I comment out that section, I have 0 allocs. How does this unreachable section affect that? #dotnet #csharp

Yeah, my inbox is flooded since yesterday.

Hey folks! I’m open to contract work, anything #dotnet. If you need help, feel free to reach out!

"This changes everything" sentence is starting to go on my nerves.

Hey @jimmybogard.com. What's the correct approach regarding the licensing for MediatR extension libraries? Is it the sole responsibility of the consumers? Do you want me to add a note to the readme? github.com/fiseni/Pozit...

Does anyone have a Winget template for #dotnet dev environment?

It's been a ton of work getting here but today I'm excited to announce the official commercial launch of AutoMapper and MediatR! More details here: www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a... WHEW

I fully agree with John Carmack. There is somewhat unreasonable hostility toward debuggers. youtu.be/tzr7hRXcwkw?...

Who can shed some light here? What's the rationale for allowing internal methods in the interfaces? Once you have an internal method, consumers can no longer implement that interface. If they do not include it in their impl, it's a compiler error. But they can't include it either. #dotnet #csharp

To try out the experience, for the whole week, I've been requesting PR reviews from Copilot on GitHub. While it can find some stupid and easy mistakes, for more complex code just spits out nonsense.

I'm not sure what your overall experience is, but I get little to no engagement here. Same on Mastodon, even worse. Also, I see no technical discussions going on at all. I guess this "short format" of social networking is dead.

In Azure DevOps, I love how ReportGenerator can publish coverage reports in a dedicated tab within the job summary page. Once I moved to GH Actions, I really missed that feature. Here is how to recreate the same experience. #dotnet fiseni.com/posts/report...

Same here! Also, I struggled so much on my i386 to install mouse drivers. It was such a joy when it suddenly worked on DOS apps. And now you have to be embarrassed if you use one?

Oh ok, #dotnet team now uses Copilot to fix issues. github.com/dotnet/efcor...

How many more modifiers can we have? #dotnet

Soon, the next catchy marketing phrase will be "This service does not contain AI products".

The concept of BFF (Backend For Frontend) hurts my brain. I thought I was already building my backend to serve frontend consumers. Now I need another system in between? For what exactly? "But, you may have web and mobile and desktop frontends". So what? What a nonsense.

I think we've overused, misused and diluted the term "architecture", especially in the .NET world. #dotnet

I added another 10 APIs to Polyfill. for some of the System.Convert APIs github.com/SimonCropp/P...

Who needs help in a .NET OSS project? Or perhaps just a review? #dotnet

Is there a Verify extension for IQueryable? It's tricky to serialize the whole thing, but at least some sane representation of the tree? #dotnet @simoncropp.bsky.social

I always have to remind myself what do I need to do to publish MSBuild packages. I think I compiled a proper way of doing it. Anyone with other suggestions? #dotnet #msbuild github.com/fiseni/Fuser...

What tools you miss, or you wish existed in the .NET ecosystem? I feel for working on something new. It can be arbitrarily complex. Hit me 🙂 #dotnet

When did smart people just give up?

I have zero grudge or anger towards the authors. Neither I think there is "rug-pulling" or whatever. I think the .NET Foundation should be reformed and have a different role in the ecosystem. Here are my thoughts posted as a picture :) #dotnet

blogged - AutoMapper and MediatR are going commercial: www.jimmybogard.com/automapper-a... - I don't have details yet because I haven't worked it out yet. But wanted to give folks the heads up

I fix broken AI-generated applications. Price: 500 $/hour. Contact me via DM.

Vibe coding: "Business people and non-programmers can write applications" COBOL had the same idea, 60 years ago. Yeah, no software jobs since then! #AI #programming

The moment "allows ref struct" was introduced, my first thought was "we can improve LINQ and also make it available for Span". And someone has done it. Great work, kudos to the author. #dotnet #csharp github.com/Cysharp/ZLinq

Ok, I never bash people for sharing stuff, but this is really getting out of hand! What is this for the love of god? And hundreds of people chearing this post. #dotnet

80% of microservices I've seen should have been libraries, or not exist at all. #programming

New Version of Ardalis Specification, v9, is now available! #dotnet #ef #efcore #dddesign ardalis.com/ardalis-spec...

These language wars are so dumb!

I really dislike XML comments. It's way too much noise, and it's hard to reason about the code. We need a better mechanism to document APIs. #dotnet #csharp

The brain is weird. I was working on a problem last week, couldn't solve it and put it on a "pause". Last night, after a week, I dreamt of having a discussion on the problem with an unknown person. The solution works!

Swift seems really well designed language. I've been playing around, and perhaps I should try it for more complex tasks.
