I’m starting to realize any vendor/partner operating in the #dotnet space is operating in a fog of war that limits its ability to service the ecosystem. There's no demographic data available telling you the state of #dotnet other than “It's all good, we promise" coming from Microsoft.

“50% of Python practitioners who took the JetBrains survey have less than 2 years of professional experience.”
I might have a chance to transition from #dotnet to #python as a geriatric junior. 🤣

I’m interested in seeing if more folks end up using the new #dotnet 10 domain name feature for local development. So often, I see mistakes that essentially creep in because the domain and app topology don’t match those of staging and production environments.
I wish there was better domain name tools for #dotnet

I will die on this hill, but these class definition pages for #dotnet are unhelpful and a waste of time.

In the span of 5 minutes I went from, “I’ll write a #dotnet source generator” to “oh right, noooooooo thanks”.
I really hope there's a much simpler system in the future that's closer to the reflection APIs or something less AST and less string-focused.

It might be time for #dotnet conferences to reevaluate their value proposition to the community, or else they won't survive.
The "sales pitch" or "hype" model is less effective in drawing people, primarily when these elements exist online and are commoditized.

launchSettings in #dotnet needs a revisit. It would be great to be able to specify build parameters for launch and be able to set build-time configuration options.

Playing around with the MCP template in #dotnet. It's interesting stuff, and maybe can see the value in offering dev-time tooling for projects.

Question for #dotnet and #developer folks. How long does it typically take your team to evaluate, proof of concept, implement, and deploy a medium-to-large dependency in your solutions?

Target type new format only works on a params if there is more than one parameter. Damn! Feels like an oversight in #csharp.

Using the `extension` keyword in #csharp 14 is kind of awkward. It would be nicer to be able to use it as a top-level declaration without the wrapping static class.
Before you say, "where would they exist in that case?”, each namespace would have a catch-all static class that would hold these extension methods if there is no wrapping class.
