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.

I just released nugraph, a #dotnet tool for creating visual dependency graph of NuGet packages.
Installation:
dotnet tool install --global nugraph
Usage for a NuGet package:
nugraph Azure.Core
or for a .NET project:
nugraph ~/Projects/Kerberos.NET/Bruce/Bruce.csproj
Many options are available, everything is documented on https://github.com/0xced/nugraph
Enjoy!
Here's the kind of graph it generates (Azure.Core example).

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.

Hey #dotnet folks, if you're running in a cloud environment, be careful upgrading to the latest version of .NET 8.0.17 before double-checking your forward headers configuration and proxy settings. You may have a misconfigured app, but it's been working up to now.
Boost to let others know. Cheers.

I am always fascinated by the list sizing in #dotnet. At some point, it doubles in capacity enough to relieve some memory pressure. Obviously, the reprieve depends on the collection's rate of growth.
If you're watching perf tools and a list causes the leak, it may flatline after a while.

I’m still confused as to why protobuf and gRPC are so highly downloaded in the NuGet stats. I can’t imagine they’ve gotten that wide of an adoption in the #dotnet space, but maybe I'm wrong.
Are you folks using gRPC?

When you read a comment in the #dotnet repo that can only end one way, and you're powerless to stop it from happening.
