   You can use game AI techniques like needs-based-AI to create smart, resilient clients. What fun!

   You're hard-coding 'terms' from a hypermedia 'vocab'. The thing is, if you use well-known terms, your client will work against ANY API that uses those terms, not just the one that you coded it to work against. Not o

   It's a shame that the functional requirements, which were neatly stated in the spec, weren't preserved in the test code. Rather than "arrange", "act", "assert", I've taken to writing the Gherkin

   I had a summer job in 1997 at a large Insurers (kill me), and people on my team would spend at least half an hour a day waiting for networked, dependent Excel files to calculate after opening them. Since then, I have always suspected it was

    You can edit the genes so they are always passed on, rather than passed on half the time. This means that the genes will eventually spread to every organism in the species (given enough generations, but it will be an exponential rate). It&#

    For anyone who is disappointed at the lack of exhaustive matching / Discriminated Unions, please try out my library OneOf* ( https://github.com/mcintyre321/OneOf ). Hopefully something similar will be brought into C

    I'm hope it will come. In the meantime, you can always create a wrapper type, or use something like the ValueUtils nuget package.

    I think MS should buy LinqPad and give it away for free. It's just an amazing experience (having the full version is critical though).

    A while ago people started referring to 'true' REST APIs as Hypermedia APIs so on-topic discussion could be googled again. Accepting the redefinition of terms merely because they are popularly misunderstood is literally putting th

    The 10x/-10x decisions are made by the architects, and the decisions tend to involve where network/codebase/layer/service boundaries are drawn.

    Use something like JSON-LD, where the payload contains hyperlinks to documents for each data property. Your client then can machine read that documentation (which can have long-lived cache headers or be immutable, so your client doesn'

    The best thing Microsoft could do for .NET is give LinqPad away with every copy of Windows. I'm hesitant to suggest they buy it out though.

    This is why I wish developers would leave test packs with Gherkin specifications behind. The code ends up being the only source of truth without them, and the archaeology has to begin. If developers could just record what they wanted to ach
