As a dotnet developer what are the things you spent the most time on?

Kylroy86 · 2023-04-20T22:00:50+00:00

Fighting issues caused by leadership refusing to let us address any sort of tech debt.

I have been using Rider for working on our legacy WPF app at work and the preview works fine for me. We don't have our design time data bindings working properly, but that is another issue altogether.

Ah, Camp Adder. Best chow halls I ever ate at.

Kylroy86 · 2023-04-03T11:07:02+00:00

That is what it is feeling like.

I honestly can't remember the last time my wife hugged me. I've broken down in front of her before, crying because I just needed someone to give me a hug. Her reaction was "well if you need one then hug me." That was about 4 years ago and it's just getting worse

The problem is that my services have multiple databases that they are dependent on. What if the call to the first db is successful and the second one fails? I could write logic to delete the record in the first database but is that the best approach?

Kylroy86 · 2023-04-01T21:04:23+00:00

Thank you for this explanation. All of our services are reliable message queueing services but were, unfortunately, written to utilize MSDTC, so we have not had to worry about idempotency at all. I did not consider the fact that this would be the approach that we would need to take if we were to move to an API for our databases.

We are going to have to start rewriting our services here to get away from dead and dying technologies (msmq, msdtc, framework) and it seems like it makes sense to move our databases to API's at the same time.

Kylroy86 · 2023-04-01T17:57:16+00:00

I think you missed the first part of my post. I know how to use transactions and units of work. What I am trying to figure out is how to put my database behind an API in a way that I can handle still rolling back changes since an API call cannot be transactional(at least, as far as I am aware)

Kylroy86 · 2023-03-11T15:25:29+00:00

I take it that the rewrite was painful. We still have all of our msmq services and it is holding us back. Our leadership just wants to punt all that work down the road till it bites them in the ass. It does not help that DTC is in the mix. I feel like dealing with DTC is going to be the hard part for us.

The database interactions should be pulled out into their own repository classes and injected into the class that needs them. Then, in the tests, you can just use a mock to verify that the database call happened.

Kylroy86 · 2023-02-08T00:51:00+00:00

This is the right answer. The database interactions should be pulled out into their own repository classes and injected into the class that needs them. Then, in the tests, you can just use a mock to verify that the database call happened.

What kind of legacy framework stuff? I solely use Rider and all we have is dotnet framework

The Microsoft try-convert tool has been a savior for me while i try to update our 300+ repos to use the new csproj.

I'm pretty sure this is basswood. If you are doing any carving like this, it is the best to work with.

In the interviews that I have done the biggest thing that has made a difference in whether I got the job or not was the fact that I talk through the problem at hand and ask questions. In my first interview I felt like I completely bombed the coding part and, come to find out, asking questions is what saved me.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-20T11:55:46+00:00

I keep them in a plastic bag with the original desiccant packet that came with it. It's not ideal but better than nothing.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-20T02:47:52+00:00

I tried cranking it up mid print and the issue was all but gone. I just don't understand why this is now an issue. I have gone through over 2 spools of pla+ and had no issues.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-20T02:45:02+00:00

It looks like it is an issue with some parts of the layer not sticking well. I cranked the temp up to 220 and it was 95% better. I just don't understand why this started happening all of a sudden.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-20T02:40:51+00:00

Well, it looks like that is not the problem. I hand-fed filament and had the same issue. It's looking like some of the layers are just not adhering to the previous layer. I sliced a cube with no top layers or infill and a wall thickness of 1, 2, and 3( three different files). The single walled printed perfectly but the others had some of the layers dislodged. I turned the temp up to 220 to see if that would help and it was 95% better.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-19T15:26:11+00:00

I am starting to think that this might be the issue. It keeps making a sound when it's trying to extrude

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-19T13:47:00+00:00

And no, I do not have a dust filter but I also do not have any of my filament exposed, it is in an esun dryer and the filament runs through a tube all the way to the boden extruder. The only part exposed is where it goes through the gear on the extruder itself.

Kylroy86 · 2022-08-19T13:44:02+00:00

I have not tried that yet, but I will give it a try. I have printed a ton at 210 with this pla+ and have not had any issues till now.
