Even if you don’t have a special setup, having a section telling you that is still a helpful thing to quickly assess a new project.

I appreciate knowing that a project should Just Work with minimal setup so I don’t have to guess or make assumptions

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.

Why does the way you present the data change how the memory is managed? I think you are mixing data storage with display logic.

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

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

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

Agreed. Their business model is transparent: we give them money, they give us good products

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

Vscode is beginning it’s enshittification cycle. They got everyone using it, now they start locking it down. Much of the fear is what Microsoft could do, not so much what they have done so far

The C# extension going proprietary is the smoke to the coming fire though, and highlights what could happen to other languages. The new extension cannot be installed on open source redistributions like vscodium. What happens now if the typescript extension gets a similar update? Or Python? Etc.

They’ve made it so technically anyone can spin off their own extensions marketplace, and attempt to make their own C#/typescript/Python extensions, but can they truly compete with Microsoft? That is the fracture the author is talking about. They’ve effectively made a walled garden out of an open source platform, they’ve just been playing nice to hook devs and companies in before the slow enshittification
