In my quest to get rid of even more #Microslop products, I'm testing if #jetbrain 's #rider can replace #VisualStudio (not VSCode).
My tests yesterday looked promising, even though in VS some things work more ... "smoothly" (like providing a .gitignore for a solution).
I'll take notes.
Highly disapointed by @jetbrains who adopt an Opt-out model for data sharing.
I’m pretty sure one day a “bug” will re-enable the option, someone will forget to turn back the option because it’s a new setup.
Consent is to have the agreement a no become a yes. Not the opposite.

You might've seen mentions of #CLion being free (for non-commercial use), but if you're like me it helps to know that this is #Jetbrain's their C/C++/Rust IDE.
..so if you want to try writing one of these languages, the above post might be worth checking out.
#Webstorm also appears to be free, which is their #Javascript / #Typescript IDE https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/
Hmm #jetbrain #rider seems does not have an automated #vb.net method description adding. If I type ''' and hit enter nothing is happening. 🤔
Should this be not a basic feature? 😱
In this episode, DevProdEng Lowdown chats with Nikolay Krasko, the Infrastructure team lead for the Kotlin Compiler OSS project, to get the lowdown on their developer productivity wins. Nikolay will discuss wins that stemmed from the collaborative effort with Gradle to onboard the Kotlin Compiler OSS project to the Gradle Enterprise platform. He will then share how this led to achieving their goals of improving build/test times using build caching and providing insights/telemetry to their build/test process.
