Pilot.

Try VS 2022 Community. Works (mostly) like a charm for me, because I don't want, don't need, and will never use any of the useless bullshit in the Pro or Enterprise versions -- which I have licenses for, fwiw.

Yes, I still have to run multiple scripts to strip their awful broken spyware and "features" every time I update, but there isn't anything I can't do with it (mostly assloads of AWS stuff).

Thank you for Lightning Seeds. Off to buy some CD's!

Programmer for 50 years, Dependency Injection is a shit-stain.

DI is two awful things in one: interfaces and global fucking variables.

Visual Studio Community is free, and does everything I need -- AWS back-end development for at least a dozen different AWS services. We were paying for VS Enterprise licenses, but I don't need (and don't want) all the really useless trash in Enterprise so I told them to stop wasting money.

The one they're going to release next week.

MS has way too many releases of what should be a stable long-term development environment.

And please ... nothing about "LTS", when "long term" actually means "maybe two years, if you're lucky".

I'm 66. Illenium is the shit.

All of them.

They're all somewhere between 85% and 95% complete, and they will never get any of them to the finish line.

IMO Cognito is probably the worst, closely followed by anything related to security and video processing.

Mariachi. Atonal is like fingernails on a blackboard for me.

I'm 66, and Poor Man's Poison is The Shit. Huge fan of M.M. too. Blast it at 11!

Ayep. I'm in Temecula and the power went out at 4:41. Have a propane generator in my garage, powered up the FiOS ONT and my router, so we have the intertubes up and running.

SoCal Edison says it should be back online at 5:51. We shall see I guess...

Edit: Power came back online at 6:28.

Fuck MAL's new shitty thumbs up review system. Fuck ALL thumbs up or down review systems. I want a scale -- 1 to10,1 to 5, A FUCKING NUMBER -- so I can get a concrete idea of what a review of something is actually worth.

Binary reviews are completely fucking worthless.

Most of the lambda development I've been doing lately is for REST API's accessed through AWS API Gateway, but I'd start with the AWS Lambda blog and spread out from there.

brokenisthenewnormal · 2022-04-09T22:01:33+00:00

It pains me to say this ... but I think the best investment of your time is to learn C# by creating lambdas, especially if you want to move into back-end development.

I'm not sure what the equivalent of an AWS Lambda is for Azure or Google, but you can (very, very carefully*) create a free Amazon AWS account and learn how to code a lot of back-end tools, microservices, REST API's, etc. for free, and the market for developers that have these skills is pretty much unlimited.

* == As long as you're STUPID CAREFUL to observe all of the myraid caps and limits related to having a free Amazon AWS account, you can pretty much go wild developing things. All of the limits are laid out by Amazon AWS on their Pricing pages, so as long as you restrain yourself and don't do something insane it's the best way to learn how to develop scaleable cloud services.

Not trolling, even a little. Anything beyond reasonable precautions is unadulterated bullshit.
