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.

AutoMapper and MediatR Roadmaps #dotnet

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).

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’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.

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

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

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.
