Yes you can, you simply add them as project references. We have done this in production and it works quite well. You have to be careful though because you could get runtime crashes if they try to access stuff that is not supported in .NET 6

I agree with your premise that speed makes a difference and should not be ignored, but your conclusion about android seems a bit off. The pixel 4 is older and much more of a budget device compared to the iphone 12, I am not sure why you are

This might be a long shot, but I once thought my USB-C port was broken but it turned out that all that happened was that fluff and dust/dirt was lodged inside and the cable no longer went in all the way. The fix was to slowly scrape al

It really depends on what phone you had and how old it was when you switched. Most of my friends are very surprised when I mention that my Android phone lasts more than 2 days on a single charge; their iPhone barely lasts a day. If they swi

Yep, and some of them are quite important for tourists such as the national weather app (which has alerts for storms, flooding etc.). Luckily these were easily side-loadable on an Android phone.

How often do you clone a repo? Our monorepo is multiples of that and the last time I cloned it was 2 years ago. When we first moved to git we simply had a 'clean' clone sitting on a network drive that all users could just copy to

Our company is the opposite, I have a max-specced laptop and we are actively trying to reduce the massive cost of cloud computing. A powerful laptop is a drop in the ocean compared to how much cloud VMs cost per developer.

I am seeing similar bad performance on Chrome on my fully loaded enterprise laptop. I think it's that background pattern and Firefox might be lying to you, or at least in Chrome the pattern is what eats up all the rendering time.
