@jonskeet I asked this question to an NICU night-shift nurse once! Apparently working the night of the time-shift really messes with record-keeping since (unsurprisingly?) medical software is not programmed to handle it! e.g. taking an hourly measurement "twice" in an hour

@JuddLumberjack @NOLSedu Oof. I was successfully bamboozled.

Interested in tackling large scale projects like this one to improve the .NET developer experience at Mastercard?

Come work with me! DMs open if you have questions.

This blog post is for those of you who were interested for practical details about how my team automated the .NET Core migration.

P.S. In very related news, my #dotnetconf talk is now on YouTube!

@JuddLumberjack @ECGreenway So you're going to bike home then, right? 😁

@KirillOsenkov Thanks for the note! I've updated the footer.

P.S. I've been profiling build times trying to improve performance from a fresh clone, and https://t.co/Gc8W5y7aHq has been so helpful in deciding where to invest!

@thematthewarp Good catch! There isn't a strict dependency between the two, we could have done them in either order.

Reason: By waiting, we had a stronger grasp of which internal packages were not made "obsolete" by https://t.co/urpd9IWO5n Core, i.e. which needed to be .NET Standard.

[Elizabeth Gallagher @LizzyIsNotBusy]

@skotekar_ None of our applications used Webforms. I don't envy the challenge of migrating Webforms, though the alternatives (Blazor and Razor Pages) do seem to be getting easier to use and more feature-ful with every release.

[Elizabeth Gallagher @LizzyIsNotBusy]

@SinanHana Near the beginning, we tried out a neat but ultimately insufficient NUnit 2 -> 3 migration tool, so we wrote our own.

To minimize the effort for product teams, we preferred writing custom scripts doing 95% of the work over an off-the-shelf tools doing 80%.

[Elizabeth Gallagher @LizzyIsNotBusy]

@vaclavpekarek Thanks for the kind words Václav!

Unfortunately since Web Forms is not supported outside of .NET Framework, you would need to migrate to Blazor / Razor Pages after getting to https://t.co/urpd9IWO5n Core but before on .NET Core.

[Elizabeth Gallagher @LizzyIsNotBusy]

@MicbOliver Thanks for the kind words Mark!

Unfortunately .NET 5 is not a Long Term Support (LTS) release, so it isn't a great choice for our large ecosystem. Don't worry, we'll be back on the bandwagon for .NET 6 (which is LTS)!

@jpazniokas This is fascinating! At work, 100% of us pronounce https://t.co/urpd9IWO5n as two syllables. I like the efficiency of it, reminds me of SQL vs. S Q L.

Honored to be speaking at .NET Conf this year!

My session "2 years, 200 applications: A .NET Core Migration at Enterprise Scale" is about two things I love -- solving complex problems with common code solutions and empowering others. ❤️

#dotnetconf

[.NET @dotnet]

The agenda is out! See what's happening the world of .NET.

#dotNETConf is coming November 10 — 12 2020
Come celebrate the new .NET Core 5.0 launch 🚀 with us. We might even have a very special guest for you, too! 😁

Just published an "An Illustrated Guide to @AutofacIoC"!

Did I maybe go overboard with all the food analogies?
Yes.

Did I have so, so much fun thinking of these food analogies?
Also yes.

Blogged about a funky #MSBuild thing we did on my team recently. Another example of "write the blog post you wanted to see in the world".
