I’ve never had an issue with the dotnet CLI, including the commands you’re talking about. Their documentation is a bit scattered at times but for the most part they have examples on everything and walk through most scenarios.

I’m not a Microsoft employee either, just a c# dev of 10 years.

They provide a link to the section where they elaborate on “commit first vs test first”, here is the relevant text

Instead of jumping straight to the commit step, Fossil applies the proposed merge to the local working directory only, requiring a separate check-in step before the change is committed to the repository. This gives you a chance to test the change first, either manually or by running your software’s automatic tests. (Ideally, both!) Thus, Fossil doesn’t need rebase, squashing, reset --hard, or other Git commit mutating mechanisms

Specifically on Twitter and Reddit, this has led to a massive jump in federated social media. That seems like an advancement to me.

The argument for having tabs adjust depending on your ide sounds better than it is in practice. Someone formatting code to look nice with width 4 will look horrendous for someone who uses width 8.

Spaces makes it uniform and captures the exact style the original dev intended

They didn’t say anything about “forced simplicity”. Not everything is a slippery slope

In my opinion, pre-designing your code is generally a good thing. Hours of planning saves weeks of coding

Try deleting all obj and bin folders in the repo and restart VS. Sometimes it gets stuck on an old project reference and can’t clear out the cached files

To clarify for OP, the only time you need this at all is when the object has a reference to something that the garbage collector won’t dispose of naturally. Things like an open file stream, db connection, etc.

You won’t need to dispose of an object you created if it just has properties and methods

The second comment explains a lot. There is a build script that generated the binary, which they are using to reduce the overall build time. They mention this resulting from a limitation on cargo and this being a workaround

It seems like you could build it all from scratch if needed with a bit of effort

How would a formal licensing system work for software engineering? How would they keep up with the rapid evolution in this industry?

I believe in better education in this field, but the standard “engineer” programs from other fields don’t translate to software. Having the government codify today’s standards would stunt the industry as a whole and kill innovation. Imagine if they had done that in the 90s and said all programming must be waterfall, monolithic, relational dbs, and using c/Fortran/Cobol.

Maybe I just don’t understand how other countries handle it though. I know my country would absolutely screw it up
