Birds and ~bad~ software engineering.

I don’t expect followbacks so don’t feel obliged to if I follow you.
I do and have done a lot across technology across my 15+ years in the industry. Dotnet is my bread and butter, but odds are I’ve dabbled in your field or niche interests!

Can’t wait for the new UI design for Apple devices.

Not because its cool, but because I have to assist family members with understanding that things just change with no respect to users who can’t see well or adapt to change easily and UI elements pop in and out due to a single pixel of scroll happening.

Maybe the LiquidAss theme won’t suck shit, but it will, because its corporate UI design in 20XX and users are a secondary though to the lowest hanging fruit of appearing to innovate: changing the fucking UI every 6-12 months

WebStorm feels like its taken a massive shit and the LSP for vue seems to just give up with anything, takes ages to realise “oh right, I should suggest an import for that instead of letting the eslint LSP take over first”, this is only in 2025.1 or later, 2024 was fine but progressively getting worse, but not this bad. Feels like the index means fuck all when it takes minutes to finally realise an import is missing, or context suggestions gives me a visible loading box every single time I dare to alt+enter on that fucking red squiggly line.

Out of nowhere I’ve lost breakpoints being attached during runtime and I have to reload the page for WebStorm to register new breakpoints. That just broke out of nowhere so I’ll potentially chalk that up to chromium sucking shit for now.

Going hard on AI is the way to go as a business model just don’t work on big production level code bases I guess. Speaks volumes when I’m contemplating switching to VSCode and its shenanigans just so I can go back to the future where autocomplete and intellisense just fucking worked without any bullshit.

Rider _still_ doesn’t have feature parity with resharper either which is wild. I can let that slide for the most part but cmon, I’m not paying for AI bullshit I’m paying for functional IDEs.

If you can have up to date documentation on something not a static site you know what you can do? You can copy that information to a static site! You can even use the same markdown syntax! You could even post the latest news updates there as well, maybe even add some fucking information to your release notes. Shit, while you’re at it why not make a readme worth a damn for me to read.

All using a social app separate to your source repository (lets be real that’ll still be GitHub for now), leads to is fostering a community of gate keeping knowledge.

I’m not saying you can’t foster a community. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use a social platform separate to your source. I’m saying that any valuable information that comes from your community should be collated and maintained somewhere that I don’t need to bumble through garbage UX to find.

“For up to date documentation/latest updates please join our discord/matrix/chat app”

No thanks, I’d rather unhinge my jaw and eat my own ass.

you ruined a perfectly good application is what you did. look at it. it’s got microservices.
What a great experience the first 40 minutes of the minecraft movie was. Time to just let whatever that was sink in over the period of time until I start work tomorrow.

It’s a Sunday evening, the entire Minecraft movie is on YouTube for free and I’m cosplaying as a billionaire CEO training AI and therefore watching this movie for free is fine actually.

Anyway I have _no idea what year this movie is in_. It’s either:
- 1970s: several main characters drive a 1977 Pontica Firebird, and a wood paneled station wagon
- 1989: one of the main characters won a world championship in video games and its on his store also he did that 12 years ago
- 2023: there’s been a iPhone 14 or later model in a shot
- sometime in the 90s: internet and online was mentioned
- back to 2020: working for socials is mentioned
- ????? 80s again I guess, the classroom shot is from the 70s, the teacher and _everyone else_ dresses from the 80s, the teacher has a nokia and a fucking pager on his belt
- 2020s again I guess? Pretty sure that garage had a toyota raize parked in it

I also cannot figure out who this movie is for. Is it kids because minecraft? Or is it weird zeitgeist haunted adults stuck in a temporal fugue state as it appears to be trying to Snowcrash about 50 years of theming.

Don’t tune in for more I’m going to get drunk and crash out watching this and process this several years later with a therapist as the first documentated case of a core memory created after turning 18.

No sense quoting "Uncle Bob" to me, re: geekery.

I don't adhere to SOLID, or "Clean Code", and I certainly don't promote Bob Martin, who I worked for and know personally.

What the modern software trade lacks *most* is neither theory nor formulas nor rules nor acronyms.

What it lacks most is an appreciation for human and diverse collaboration, and the aforementioned person does not grasp that everyone is not like him.

The irony that this was boosted by the dotnet bot is not lost on me, it’s just funnier this way.
