Do I know any Blazor experts here? If I click the "MyComponent" button below, I get an error saying "The render handle is not yet assigned". However, if I first click the "Click me" button, and THEN the "MyComponent" button, it will work as expected.

What books do you recommend for Blazor development, specifically? Beginner or advanced.

Plus, we end up doing more of the things we measure. If you can't measure the productivity gain from going for a walk, nothing will reinforce that behavior.

What's the killer tool for effectively managing GitHub notifications? I feel like the default UI is really holding back at this point and I'm not the type to do GH notifications over email. Octobox hasn't done the trick for me either.

I've not met many leaders that could tell the difference between day-to-day code changes and architecturally significant changes.

It's important to remember than any API is a published contract and that almost any change, including bug fixes and improvements, are breaking changes. Embrace and expect breaking changings. For example: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet... #dotnet

TIL: In C#, an implicit operator in a super class takes precedence over an explicit operator in a base class.

Top-level domains tied to pollical boundaries seems like a bad idea. Similar issues may arise for .io domains. :/

Anyone else notice that if you run unit tests in #visualStudio Until Failure that they seem to hang if you computer locks or if another app comes to the foreground?

I find CodeLens in Visual Studio to be useful. But the References feature could use improvement. I'm interested in runtime references to types/members (what is _using_ the member), not xmldoc references. And I sometimes want to filter out references by unit tests.

I guess PowerToys LightSwitch is on by default, so after a reboot everything is in Light mode despite Dark mode being the default before. 🙁

Don't forget the .NET uninstall tool to free up some space if you have every version of the SDK installed 😀 #dotnet learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

Someone needs to do a mockumentary series on bigfoot hunters and the film crew interacts with a Sasquatch and the hunters are clueless.

If you create a Codespace from a PR that was started by the GitHub Copilot agent, the clone of the git repo/branch that will be in the codespace will be a *shallow* clone which makes it difficult to rebase/merge against the branch. You can fix this by running `git fetch --unshallow`.
