We raised a $3.5M CAD seed round led by AQC Capital, with participation by well-known angel investors - including @scott.hanselman.com! 🎉 Why raise a seed now? What's ahead? Read more👇

About to for the dotnet runtime. I feel strangely far outside of my comfort zone.

One of these days I will learn to read the documentation before I break stuff. Today is not that day.

One of the things my team owns that I'm VERY proud of is @vscode.dev *for Education.* We just released our authoring tool so you (educator or not) can publish your own courses and lessons AND they'll be saved to your GitHub! Learn more, and please share with educators! vscodeedu.com/whats-new/2326

At the risk of repeating myself. I am not a fan of recursion.

Duende is committed to open source and values contributors. We are now sponsoring Astro and Starlight, the static site generator that powers our docs. More details about Astro and why we are sponsoring on our blog: duende.link/astr055 #dotnet #astro #identity

@flash0ver.bsky.social Okay. So now I am getting to separating Code Fixes and Analyzers in separate assemblies. Is the thought that I should expect consumers to use two nuget packages? Or should I find a way to bring them back together under a single package?

I just spent way too much time fixing a "bug" which turned out to be a feature built on design flaw.

@flash0ver.bsky.social @shahab-the-guy.dev New Rider has Roslyn Syntax Tree Visualizer. I can't wait to kick the tires on it!

I am at the point, I need an extra day on the weekend just to work on all the things I want to do. Have we re-evaluated the 40+ hour 5 day work week yet?

@shahab-the-guy.dev @flash0ver.bsky.social Either of you know of a "Roslyn Performance Guide" that can help a developer look at a given analyzer and determine performance concerns? I know I can write some benchmarks, really looking for a set of best practices. Benchmarks feel daunting ...

Coming up on @coffeeandopensource.com I will be chatting with Maxim Fateev about all sorts of #tech and #opensource topics. Streaming live today on #Twitch at 11:00 AM PDT. Come say hello and join the conversation. https://www.twitch.tv/isaacrlevin

Exciting news! 🚀 The new #SLNX format is getting more solid support in the .NET CLI. Rider already makes converting & using SLNX files a breeze! Check out our blog for all the details: blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2024/...

I have that "It's Friday, lets push to production!" energy right now.

Microsoft's announcement that the #TypeScript compiler is being ported to #golang is a good opportunity for me to once again promote my introductory Go course. 😇 I regularly update the course material, which is freely available on GitHub. 🍺 github.com/jub0bs/go-co...

I have decided I am going to just start deleting code until the compiler fails or until tests start failing. Anything that doesn't cause these to fail must not be necessary.

#HTTP isn't just about requests and responses—it’s got verbs that make the web dynamic! GET, POST, PUT, DELETE... each has a job, and together they keep the internet running. Want to know what they do and when to use them? Check out my latest post! woodruff.dev/http-methods...

Code Fix Providers are like a good fellow developer who provides suggestions over the approach that the diagnostic analyzer was not happy with! 😉 📚 bit.ly/41eh0ay 📹 youtu.be/QjAofk2U32o #roslyn #csharp #dotnet #CodeFixProvider #Diagnostic #Analyzer

SDK docs... Only latest (with call-outs where supported versions may be different)? Or keep all versioned docs at a separate URL?

@devlead.se So. Would you be interested in connecting with me live and showing me how to get value out of Verify? Full Disclosure: I have used it. Only for Source Generators. I'd like you to help me imagine more usages.

I have heard a lot of my oss associates apologies to developers for use of their packages. No. If there is a license that says "Use at your own risk". No Apologies. You used the hammer to screw in a light bulb. Your fault! #dotnet #opensource

I am not above cutting corners. I am wise enough to know, once a corner is cut, it's cut.

While preparing a talk about nothing, I came up with a new use case for Source Generation. My weekend is already thanking me! #dotnet #null

TIL: @jetbrains.com Rider allows you to style raw strings. I wouldn't appreciate why that was so cool if I wasn't working on source generators when I found out.

Luke Warm Take: You cannot show progress if you haven't made any.

In this edition of #tech on ice, I talk about the new #oss #ai #agenttool from #microsoft called #Omniparse and how it is awesome to see what it is capable of. #technology #developer #programming #coldplunge #llm www.tiktok.com/@isaacrlevin...

A few of my important key bindings are busted in @jetbrains.com Rider (likely my fault). Then I realize, some devs don't use key bindings or know they exist. I wonder if I am a spoiled developer ...

This is one of best resources I found to get started. I was able to iterate on this and build up some pretty complex ones for my use case. youtu.be/azJm_Y2nbAI?...

Welp. I almost bricked my computer last night. Tomorrow I get on a plane to give my first international talk. Current Status: scrambling to authenticate to everything! Grateful I didn't have to rebuild my machine from the ground up.

The fundamental theorem of software talks of solving any problem with a layer of indirection. This is the hammer by which most over architecture is crafted. Yes. Add indirection. When, Where, and How are the difference between good and bad outcomes.

I am constantly reminded how expensive UI testing is, and I have yet to have UI testing catch a critical bug that would have cost a business significant money (personal experience).

I currently have bill collectors calling me on behalf of my deceased grandmother. I explained the current state. She's dead. I was her MPA, they want proof before they will talk to me about whatever they call me about. I refuse to negotiate with these people. She's dead. What do you want?!

We are planning to bump up the minimum version of .NET from 6 to 8 in the 2.0 release. The 1.x releases will continue to allow targeting .NET 6. There is no timeline yet for this release. #DotNet #UnitTest

Is "fat fingers" in a commit message considered inappropriate? Asking for me ... cause I just did that.

I have several blog posts queued up ... fixing my static content generator ... or my build.

Hardest part about being smart. Knowing when you are too smart for your own good. I am currently considering my first valid inclusion in a directory.build.targets file ... and I am hoping someone smarter than me tells me there is a better way.

Friday. 5pm. I might have broken the build.

I am finding myself making an argument for testing log output, and talking myself off the ledge all at the same time.
