@RyanRodemoyer2 This is the worst comparison I’ve ever seen.
You’re pulling 3 columns from different tables, so you’d select a dto for that… you wouldn’t “include” anything!!
No type safety.
Schema changes would break your code at run time instead of compile time.
You clearly don’t use EF

@albertzmtea ICQ. The old chat app on desktop right?

@BoyanSlat @Greenpeace A total own goal by @Greenpeace
Sickening that they’d slander people trying to help

[Alex O'Donovan @alexodono]

@KarenPayneMVP Use it all the time. I think it’s great but it is a little hard to see the difference between the headers and body of code. I always think in at the top of the function 😅

@SurgicalCoder @TheCodeMan__ I think h they mean WPF..?
WCF was way ahead of its time. REST felt like an anti Microsoft jump into the dark ages.
When I was taught about gRPC and protobufs I thought… we did this already! 😭

@shanselman Oh sh*t. The dancing killed me!! 😅😅
With all the green screen why is it so depressingly grey!

@maartenballiauw @lovelacecoding First in your start menu, next it’ll be your task bar. In 10 years you’ll be on a monthly subscription to remove ads from your desktop wallpaper.

@johnkilmister You got a reply from google!?
Also. It’s always annoyed me that it doesn’t tell you the app that’s requesting your 2fa prompt.

All the new “enter the number shown on screen” does make me feel more sure that at least you’re only approving something you can see on your desktop.

@Trending_rightn @WallStreetSilv I’m glad someone said it. That would probably cost twice as much round here 😂 there’d be a waiting list!!

[Alex O'Donovan @alexodono]

@Levi7hart @Rainmaker1973 Yeah… but they’re in a field. And those trees he could have propped it up against were super far away 😅

I bet conversation at dinner was tense that evening.

@SteveMoraco @JoeFordFL Same. I get this on iPhone.
No way to close it

[Alex O'Donovan @alexodono]

@SteveMoraco Needs a test on an iPhone 13 Pro. I can’t close this popup, but the screen behind it scrolls.

[Alex O'Donovan @alexodono]

@csharpfritz I’m reeling that anyone (especially with such a legacy) could ever think it was a benefit to remove types in favour of testing return values.
The line “anything complex just becomes ‘any’” made me despair - and I’m an average developer at best.

@VicVijayakumar You’re living in the future. I bit an integration with an API 2 months ago that returned a 200 when your request was successfully queued.
Then EMAILED you when it failed to import!

[Alex O'Donovan @alexodono]

@mjovanovictech Yes. I do this all time.
Telling people you’re loading something is priceless when the alternative is people wondering if your app/site has hung.
Even if they take the same time
