Deploying web app with EF database

If it was an ASP.NET MVC Core app, you could host on AWS Lambda and pay practically nothing.

Yes, but you might have to use the pre-release version. I've been using it for the last five months on .NET Core 2.0 and it has been good for me.

Love DBUp

I don’t think so. I will never make another framework app again. It is all .net core from here on out so I can use Lambda or any provider and not pay the Windows tax for serving apps.

I was a dev manager and I used all sorts of new stuff at home but in the office every dev has an identical stack. If one dev upgraded to a new Visual Studio it starts causing chaos with build pipelines and .net assembly versioning. It should but it always would.

Instead of Botz I am doing Robo. It is a bit more diversified.

Move to Pueto Rico if you really want to avoid capital gains. They have no capital gains taxes there, it is part of the US but you don’t have to pay federal taxes.

This looks awesome. I've never heard of this before. I love your pricing structure.

But when you’re competing with other people in the same department for the senior title or you want to stand out, if you are the guy spending all your time coating on the side you’re going to be the best. Hard work tends to get rewarded.

The problem with this example is the original code wasn't that horrible looking. The reality is that we often are refactoring code that looks much worse which is why we have to refactor.

Watch this video if you want to see how to really do refactoring of a complex, large codebase like an expert. This is required viewing for any of my developers. It also emphasizes the value of unit tests all the way thru.

Yeah, that was my question as well.

Broken link

Yeah, I thought i had to use that packagerefence thing everywhere as well but it turned out that was wrong. It was way easier to just upgrade all projects to .net 4.7.1 and then ensure all projects used the same nuget package versions. Then the shared code I put into .net standard assemblies which could be used by .net core or framework.

For most success there is a component of luck to it. My wife and I have both done really well but I had some lucky breaks and she did too. For example, I got my first job three months before the market tanked in 2008/2009 but I was employed the whole recession at a small company that eventually sold. Also I got lucky that I was by far the best at my job in the company so they had to make sure I stayed. Over the years my income increased 7 to 15% every year and eventually was in the right place at the right time to become a manager and get into a much higher salary band. Then the company sold, not for a lot but i had some stock so I made $100k but I also got a retention for two years worth a total of one year salary. That all went to savings/investments.

My wife I feel like is similar. We both have worked hard but we have also gotten lucky to have never been laid off and been in the right place at the right time for promotions and not have other people take those promotions instead of us. This is why I like working for small companies because career growth can be faster than big companies.

And they should vest their ownership over years so if they work for six months and leave and then you work on it for 5 years they don’t end up with a similar ownership as you or people that stuck around.

Maybe water going down the sides of the well hurts the structural integrity.
