@Voxera I didn't. I used it around 2009/10 maybe? And then it basically started dying right after, with MS officially starting to deprecate it in 2012 I think.

Yep. Ain't technology amazing?

If you know you know what you are doing, you should be able to explain why things need to be different. If that is not appreciated, you may need another place of work. I know that may not be easy, but it's taken me a few horrible experiences to realise this.

@C0D4 Haha, nice! There's a few other gamey tunes on the album. There's links in video description :-)

Maybe it's a warning that they have a few 'senior moments' when they code 🤔

I've played with it a couple of times, and I really like it. And seeing as Microsoft are really pushing it and investing in it, I think it has a bright future.
The server side version is pretty much ready to replace mvc, and although the client side version is not done yet I think it's going to be awesome. I really dig that they're not just releasing it before it's actually production ready.
When you look at their roadmap for the future of blazor you can see that this is probably going to be the new de facto stack for all of MS in a couple of years.
It won't immediately do everything js does, but it doesn't have to. It's a different market and a different developer audience.

Blazor

Try out some Bowers & Wilkins. They have several models :-)

I've been there. It sucks :-/

@ap3rus Let's hope so :-)

@reversal Thanks ^_^

For me, it was pretty good. Not as good as 1 or 2, but a far better sequel than any of the others. I liked seeing Linda and Arnold again, and I'm cool with them not carrying the whole thing.

I didn't see any propaganda in it, so I don't know what you are talking about.

Blazor offers a wide array of possibilities, especially once all parts of it is ready for release.
The fact that you can now write a fully featured application that will work in any browser on any platform and beyond, all in a completely structured, type-safe and managed framework is a monumental achievement. And it can also be hosted on any platform to boot!
It is everything every other attempt at a common browser app platform should have been, and so much more.
In the immediate future, it will not replace JavaScript for every use case. But it is the first framework that really, truly has the potential to do that in the long run.
Not nearly everyone will ever adopt it of course. But it will lead the way for the other major tech players to create their own versions of the ideas behind it.

@SevenDeadlyBugs I am acutely aware of #1, and I am in no way suffering from the illusion that the perfect solution will always exist.

Regarding #2, I know for a fact that there is absolutely no reason to not invest in the future of the company except for a complete misunderstanding of what that entails.

@cst1992 I'm working on it :-)

Try merging in TFS with no branching policy. You'll never complain about Git again 😂

I feel you, mate. Having a similar struggle myself at the moment. Couldn't tell you what to do, but for me, if something's on my mind that I can't let go, I feel I owe it to myself to check it out. Otherwise it might gnaw at you forever.

@stupidchromedev Everbody's struggle is different. I am lucky in some ways and in other, not so much.

@cst1992 It is in no way my problem. But it's a small company where everybody has some influence, so I do cling a bit to the hope that my concerns will be acted upon. But I do fear that it's hopeless.

@AlmondSauce That's the thing... I'm not sure.

A little bit of everything, none of it well enough to perform live. Guitar, ukulele, bass, piano, drums...
I found out some years ago that I don't have the disciplin to learn any instrument well. In stead I compose my own music and practice whatever I need to be able to record it.

@aviophile I don't post all the music I do here. This post was about having been in a funk, and how a great program has helped me out of it.
I looked around and couldn't find any rules about posting music links. If it's not allowed I'm sorry, but the last time I mentioned my music people were asking for links.

@C0D4 I get that. Again, that's probably my prog influence shining through.

@C0D4 I get your point, but that part wasn't really what the track was about. It just sort of... happened ;-)
And as a big fan of progrock, I really love when a track kinda goes wildly off track somewhere XD

You might like my track 'The Getaway' more if you're into the fastpaced stuff :-)

My namesake and personal hero ^_^

Erm. I very rarely get anywhere close to spending my battery in a day. I charge when I go to bed. What are people doing with their phones that they need to charge all the time?

@irene Again I ask you, what is your proof of that theory?

@irene Proven how?

@Fast-Nop Perhaps nihilist is not the correct term for your world view, but I'm not sure what is. Fatalist, maybe?

Anyway, I shall finally agree with your previous statement that further discussion is pointless.

Have a nice day :-)

@irene And yet, all developers that I know personally are also optimists. Because they, as I, are driven by a desire to improve the world.
