C# has this same model: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-ref...

This is a good example[1] at 64k LOC removal. We removed built-in support for C# + WinRT interop on Windows and instead required users to use a source-generation tool (which is sti…

This excellent presentation (Veritasium) is making much the same point (learning comes from “reps”). https://youtu.be/0xS68sl2D70?si=rXg5_wjg4bEdMalw

I quite enjoyed both series. They are not similar (as you implicitly suggest). Wayfarer bugged me at first because each book is a massive departure from the next (somewhat like End…

This is all true. The only part that is potentially misleading is that the target doesn't need to be a blog. A blog is a fine target, however. The key activity is spending time to …

Here is a post I wrote a while back that includes charlieplexing. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/blinking-leds-with-ras...

Dive is great. Tools like that are critical for both learning and developing confidence on what you are precisely building/shipping. Dredge is another tool to look at. I use it for…

Would love to follow up with you to learn more about your deployment. Info in profile.

Would love to heard more about that! That sounds like a great win. Contact info is in my profile.

The bulleted list in the design point section is intended as a high-level summary. We may do another post later that is part-way between the bulleted list and the post as a whole. …

Do you have an example of that? That is really interesting.

Anyone notice the part of the announcement about Chiseled Ubuntu Containers?

We started with Red Hat. They were our .NET Core 1.0 launch partner (and remain a very close partner). You can run Red Hat on-prem or in the cloud (obviously).

We maintain container images for both Linux and Windows. I can tell you that they both get a LOT of use (>10M pulls/month). .NET is very much a cross-platform app stack. Also, we g…

Folks are working on FreeBSD support: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/71486

Fedora and Red Hat have offered .NET packages for years. We've worked very closely with those folks and they've taught us a lot about how to work collaboratively with distro mainta…

Big fan of this book. It's incredibly forward-thinking and can be read in an evening. Absolutely recommended if you have not read it.

I've read that one. It's good, but not nearly as good as her other writing. I'm always torn by whether I like the earthsea or Hainish series better. She also has many wondering sho…

I provided an answer in the blog post post comments. We see it most big corps and government. We also see Linux in those same places. If there are big Windows Server apps (typicall…

Good and fair call. I softened the wording on digest comparisons. I sympathize with your pet peeve and like your apt example. I wrote the article (although you probably figured tha…

That's the same thing as comment about float. Warren Buffett frequently talks about float. At Berkshire, they attempt to both sell premiums at a fair price AND win with float. Seem…

.NET was built in the time of early Java, and so has many similar characteristics: virtual machine with a garbage collector, executes compiled processor- and OS-independent binarie…
