Yeah, as much pain as it has caused me in the past I think the crucial realization Microsoft made with Webforms and maybe Blazor is that the stateless model of web is fairly crap if you are doing anything beyond displaying static text. For

Out of curiosity what were the > [...] gotchas of .NET Core async/await APIs drove me away. I kind of lost track of the framework to core changes but I think it became simpler with the removal of synchronization contexts?

My extremely cynical view, because politicians think it sounds sensible but don't realise the fundamental research we'd actually benefit from more people doing has atrocious pay and conditions so just build a funnel for people to

You mention webstorm and while I'm not familiar with it are you by any chance working on JS or other dynamic codebases? I've tried a few dynamic languages and I Just. Can't. Do. It. Everything seems so painful and slow. The w

Sorry I wasn't clear. The lack of defined behaviour for bodies in GET is an example of harms arising from REST obsession. It's clearly a useful thing but because it goes against the intended design it's treated as a bad idea.

I really, really, hate REST prescriptivism. I'm going to return 200 from POSTs and want to use request bodies for GET requests to do filtering. We may as well use POST for updates. REST doesn't work for my use-case or probably mos

To add to this, the absurdity of the 'healthcare' system in the US is made even more apparent as a non-US citizen buying health insurance for (long-term) international travel. Firstly (loosely regulated) insurance is an absolutely

Talking just about the title since the contents of the article are about as relevant as a discussion of Java 1 nowadays. No. I had a huge amount of insecurity about this until I tried AoC this year. You know what's really great? Tools,

But the problem with this is it's a technical solution to a social problem. If your developers are writing crap code in a monolith they're going to continue writing crap code in microservices but now you have new problems of deplo

Not to mention when you finally do buy something they'll use the worst dark patterns to autoenroll you into a monthly prime subscription. I'm usually good at finding the opt out link but had no luck with this. Surprised it's

This is a deliberate choice by the designers and we had some to and fro with them about it for the application we were building (a complex 40+ question process for exports). They seemed open to more questions per page where needed but their

Exactly right, transactions being the killer/most common one. And the proposed solutions of hooks, AOP etc all start down the road of scattering actual logic across files and methods making the code harder to reason about which seems t
