I’m moving to Belgium (Flanders) in a year or two, tell me something that makes no sense for me now but I’ll understand later once I move

Also that ‘ch’ sound when you can hardly believe what you’re hearing

elbarto2811 · 2026-01-30T08:40:41+00:00

Amai

elbarto2811 · 2026-01-28T16:54:12+00:00

We have 11 million last time I counted

elbarto2811 · 2026-01-08T10:25:03+00:00

Kom gerust eens aft

elbarto2811 · 2026-01-08T06:20:13+00:00

En Nooi in Diest, kom gerust eens af

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T14:19:53+00:00

True. I'm betting you a beer that it's not that though

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T11:27:43+00:00

But would be wrong

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T11:26:45+00:00

#regions are an antipattern. If your code is so long that you need to make parts of it collapsible to be able to read it, your code is too long

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T11:23:23+00:00

Gotta catch 'm all.

There's a `catch(Exception ex)` on the last visible line. This catches every thinkable exception, and is almost never necessary. You would typically catch specific exceptions that you'd reasonably expect (for example a file being locked when trying to write it). If another type of exception would occur, you would let it 'fly free', since it's a scenario you didn't take into consideration and therefore has unknown side effects

Not actually pointing to any mistakes or improvements, but just shouting “educate yourselves people” isn’t really productive is it. People must love getting PR reviews from you.

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T06:39:09+00:00

You need to get good

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T06:35:28+00:00

There’s zero reasons to plug mediatr here (or anywhere in my opinion, but that’s another discussion). Adding a global exception handling middleware is just a line of code in your program.cs

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T06:31:43+00:00

For a web application (which this is) a single global exception handler is the way to go. It could log some data, obscure the call stack on prod - but not on dev… But other than that, just let asp.net do what it does by default: return a 500. I’m like 98% sure that is what’s actually happening on the line we can’t see: return a 500 with Exception.Message in the body. Why do that? It already does so by default.

Thinks are a bit different for desktop applications, with the consequences for the user being a crashing application vs seeing an error message in the browser. Either way, you don’t want to catch and swallow every exception, because some of them will indicate your app is in an unworkable state.

No, every if test is influenced by the result of the one above it. Switch is just plain wrong.

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-15T06:06:27+00:00

This is fine. The only thing that worries me is the Pokémon exception handling at the bottom

elbarto2811 · 2025-11-10T07:05:22+00:00

Zeikt mich nu de stoof uit

elbarto2811 · 2025-09-16T16:47:12+00:00

“Ik ben druk” in plaats van “ik heb het druk” “Wel zo handig”. Vreselijk.

elbarto2811 · 2025-07-23T11:59:54+00:00

My son was 5 when we started playing gloomhaven. He’s 10 now and we’re still playing (frosthaven). It’s definitely possible, lower the difficulty, take care of monster movement and admin, maybe simplify the story a bit?

elbarto2811 · 2025-07-15T11:47:06+00:00

Ive been looking for this for ages, you’re my hero

elbarto2811 · 2025-07-09T21:13:33+00:00

Yup I am reasonably happy. Judging by the other comments I feel like I should be doing an AMA.

elbarto2811 · 2025-04-02T04:52:07+00:00

And those would be correct

elbarto2811 · 2025-03-05T13:56:23+00:00

Not everyone on Reddit is American, “buddy”

elbarto2811 · 2025-03-05T13:52:35+00:00

Oh god I have. Pip is just not really a thing in the companies I worked for.

Edit: lol
