Jon Skeet? He’s my hero, but he hasn’t worked at MS for quite some time I believe.

How is a web app any better than an electron app? Electron is just a wrapper for a web app.

So if that’s actually just a guess, I’m impressed, and you must have some experience in thin-film lol.

LCD panels actually use a thin film of silicon (I think it’s silicon) over each pixel. And cheap panels using TN technology often have this issue and very poor viewing angles.

Thanks for the heads up!

This looks interesting. I’d not heard of this before.

That is a bold ui design for someone saying how bad the web is nowadays.

Though it is a bit reminiscent of geocities so I guess it tracks with the idea that modern software is worse than old software.

I take it you’ve never worked in a MASSIVE enterprise solution, then. I believe OC meant heavy in the sense that it uses more resources than a similar IDE would. Idk who you run into, but pretty much every dev I know is a gamer/builds their own pc. I’ve gotten into debates about which CPU is better than another for specific tasks. I don’t know a single dev who doesn’t know how to install an os.

I… don’t know what kind of junior devs fresh out of freshman CS classes you’ve been meeting, but that’s an incredibly reductive and insulting generalization to make. I don’t even… The VAST MAJORITY of devs don’t know how to install an os? Or what hardware they have? If you work in a large enough solution and don’t know how much RAM you have, then you aren’t complaining to management enough. We finally got them to upgrade us to 32gb, and most of us are already begging for 64. I would also prefer if we split the solution out into multiple solutions personally, but I doubt that will happen soon.

I use Rider for c#. I genuinely despise VS. it takes forever to build, crashes randomly, and it took ages for them to add decompilation debugging without the need of loading symbols. Now that VS has a lot of the resharper tools built in it’s a bit better. I still dislike it and pay for Rider myself so I can use it instead of VS at work.

My buddy’s mom took his pc as punishment for some nonsense. We cobbled together some parts so he could secretly play an online flash game with me. His frames were seconds behind mine. But we installed Ubuntu on it since we couldn’t afford windows in high school. So I learned about Linux.

It is hard, I agree. I’m not very good at it myself. But even semi-decent docs are better than googling around or stepping through a decompiled package.

And it’s super useful to new developers, and would have saved me a lot of time and frustration when I was new.

That’s fair. At my company we have technical writers for the external docs and internal docs are usually written by whoever has worked on something and got frustrated that nobody in the company could give them a high level overview, and they had to go through the code for a couple hours.

Tbf though, I’ll take docs that aren’t written super well that tell me how things from our internal libraries should be used. Or just comments. I’ll take comments telling me WHY we are doing something.

I don’t expect our internal docs to be MSDN docs. But I like to read an overview of at least the workflow before I jump into updating a large project.

I’d rather read the docs than just about anything. I love good documentation. I wanna know how and why things work.

The problem is that basically nobody has good docs. They are almost all either incomplete or unreadable.
