It's been a while, but I am still going through the #OSSU curriculum (https://github.com/ossu/computer-science)!

Recently finished calculus and have a new blog post up: https://dustinbriles.com/ossu-blog-8-calculus/

Why does C# and .NET involve so. much. ceremony?

I feel like I spend 75% of the time setting up to do what I want to do instead of just doing it.

And this is just an Azure Function... Not sure I'd make it as an enterprise C# dev 😂

Initial thoughts on sudo for Windows (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-sudo-for-windows/):

1. Don't like the UAC prompt every time you use sudo. I understand the internals of Windows are different than *nix operating systems and so it might not be possible to get around UAC without severely compromising security

"...pitting adolescents against Big Tech is 'just not a fair fight'. You have some of the best designers and product developers in the world who have designed these products to make sure people are maximizing the amount of time they spend on these platforms. And if we tell a child, use the force of your willpower to control how much time you’re spending, you’re pitting a child against the world’s greatest product designers."

Hard agree.
