Fluent extension methods are better than no extensions at all, I agree :) I tend to look for general competence in new devs, because that persists across platforms and pivots. In general it's odd that we expect devs to know every lang

The function chaining is a game-changer, if you're talking about maintainability... The temporary variables are eliminated,and the type-based chaining self-verifies for new modifications, neither of which you get in C#. Also, thanks t

Picard had to remind Computer that he likes drinking his tea "hot" 15 times a day -- all signs point to voice assistants forcing us to be hyper literal because they like to mess with us.

PII isn't a term used by the GDPR, and the association stripping we're used to (from healthcare, for example), isn't necessarily enough... GDPR covers psuedonymized and anonymized personal data too.

OneNote works pretty well as a glorified wiki in small groups. Naturally, these days, if that's what you need why not get a proper wiki going? I do know for some MS shops the pre-paid OneNote licenses make it a tempting substitute.
