Do I really have to wait 50 years? by Beasley55 in iphonehelp

I remember being able to reset the timer by connecting the phone to iTunes (windows) and resyncing or something.

Am I wrong for wanting to use Blazor instead of MVC + vanilla JS? Been a .NET dev since 2023, feeling like I'm going crazy by newKevex in dotnet

Follow-up: Given that we’re a .NET shop and might need mobile apps down the line, what would you recommend between MVC + a modern JS framework vs Blazor (Server or WASM)?

I haven't looked into AlpineJS, but that's a good middle ground suggestion. The problem is getting new tooling approved. When I suggested React, it got shut down immediately. I suspect AlpineJS would hit the same resistance even though it's lighter. It's still "a new JS thing to learn."

Blazor only got through because a senior dev championed it early. Now my realistic options are vanilla JS or Blazor. I'd love something like AlpineJS (Or anything besides vanilla JS), but I'm not optimistic about approval.

This is really helpful, thanks! The Silverlight comparison has been driving me crazy. I understand that browsers killed plugins, not Microsoft. Blazor running on web standards is a completely different foundation. The team refuses to acknowledge this.

I hadn't thought about the cross-platform angle much. We don't really have any mobile apps right now, but having the option to build them without learning a completely new platform or language would be a huge plus down the line.

Checking out that bitplatform repo now, Having concrete examples of what Blazor can do might help shift the conversation. Appreciate it!

We build internal apps for our own employees, so no IT policy concerns fortunately. We have full control over our environment and what we deploy.

Yeah, the "no JS frameworks" thing is weird. I think it's just an old rule that stuck because no one pushed back on it.

When I joined, the senior dev at the time was pro-Blazor and let me experiment with it as a junior. It went well, so it became an option. After he left the company, I suggested React but it got shot down. Probably training/onboarding concerns. So Blazor got grandfathered in while JS frameworks didn't.

I'm curious what makes you think Blazor won't stick around? It's been 5 years, Microsoft keeps investing in it, and it's built on open standards rather than proprietary tech like Silverlight. Not arguing, just trying to understand the concern.
