Counterpoint: I've been extensively using VS 2019 for years and VS 2022 for a few months. Neither has been notably buggy other than the occasional glitch with Live Unit Testing. For further comparison, I've also used JetBrains pro

Yeah .NET never shows up high on the wish list, but surely it's because .NET has been historically tied to Windows. I'm wondering if it still is in fact tied to Windows - because even though developers can use .NET without Windo

This actually has a nugget of wisdom. I wish I was more open to soaking up wisdom - and less likely to argue a point - when I was a junior dev. Or still now, really. Moreover, if your PO can't define the goals, and what needs to be te
