At work, we regard exception collecting as essential for both development and production - if an application reaches internal QA, it's already reporting to an exception collector. This is separate to whatever logging is going on. Sentr

It sounds like you had a bad experience. I found Slack support to be pleasant and very helpful when we migrated from our previous solution to Slack (I haven't needed to interact with them since).

These days, I always make a distinction between Microsoft, who have good and points, and the Windows division, who I can say nothing good about.

A thoughtful articles, but funnily enough, the thing that I like most about it is not the main proposal, but the recognition that the standard library needs improvement. One of the things that I find most offputting about Go is the aggressi

I think that database management features in particular are a huge benefit for many applications - db generation from code, migrations, and seeding. Once you have more than two environments (dev machine/staging/prod, or more than

Yes, as far I can tell, Rust is probably (pun intended) the gold standard in these areas. I only looked at Rust briefly, because the language itself felt too complex for my simple needs, but I was hugely impressed by how much concern and ef

Thank you - I think that is the thing that pro-Eich people consistently ignore. The Prop 8 campaign to retroactively strip people of human rights once those rights were re-affirmed by the state Supreme Court was an act of pure malice and sp

As lots of people have had to point out recently, there's political issues, which we can disagree on, and there's basic human decency.

If you are running .NET code in production on a non-Windows platform today, then you and your team are probably braver and more willing to work around issues than most. I hope that running .NET code on Linux becomes the common case, but I s

Yeah, I think that a key point here is that it is a way of keeping meetings on track with larger groups. Once you have a bunch of people who have strong opinions about the current topic of discussion, then you will get times when multiple p

Thanks, that clarifies it - they've hit some kind of wall with Office 365 Video, and are developing Stream to address that. Makes a lot more sense now.

It's not really enterprise unless it's hooked into a corporate authentication system with policy controls and management capabilities. I'm puzzled why this isn't attached to Office365 for those reasons. The marketing pa

Yeah, there's an underlying point here that containers are just processes, so there should be little difference between containerized services and services running directly on the host. There's an idea that the desired end-state s

Yeah, this is interesting tech, but sadly my first thought was that this name is so bad that it's indistinguishable from parody.

Yes, please let's not try to revise history. I've seen Microsoft evangelists play games like this, and IMO it's a terrible way to promote your preferred platform. .NET Core will stand on it's own merits, it doesn't

I don't think that they care about that so much as making the point that nobody else should think about copying Oracle's tactics. The attorneys for Oracle were remarkably unscrupulous in the way that they conducted their case, IMO

YAML is a step forward, but I wish that Amazon would give up on CloudFormation. It seems like it isn't a templating system so much as a bad programming language in the making.

I finished it a couple of weeks ago, and it's really worthwhile. It did seem a bit gimmicky and superficial at first, but once the course progresses, you realize that the material itself heavily applies the techniques that they descri

For Web applications, there's also the Wordpress model, where you publish the source code, but make money providing hosting. Ghost and Sentry are other products that do that. There are some desktop apps where the developers do a simila

Yeah, we have Angular 1 code in production, and I would like us to get off this train. I'm going to be evaluating Vue.js and Aurelia, and will probably push for Aurelia.

That makes sense to me. Right now, containerizing Web applications effectively adds a lot of complexity to the infrastructure, which means that hosting providers need to have a number of services in production, and the customers have to be

The Bootstrap maintainers decided to perform that service, defined the terms of the service was, encouraged people to use that service, and now appear to be withdrawing that service at no notice. IMO, the "not your vendor" line is

You could be right, the current situation is unsettled, so I'm personally reluctant to predict anything much. The argument for Mono seems to boil down to the MS teams not having enough capacity to get .NET Core production-ready for mob

In the last presentation that I saw, the line was that Mono would continue to exist as a full .NET implementation to support Xamarin mobile apps. The reason given was that .NET Core was scoped as a run-time for server applications, so no wo
