@robmen I notice.

Problem is friction to get many teams involved. A simple invoice recieved from FireGiant by my team can easily be directly paid. We have to go through proxies to request a GitHub invoice and then again to ask them to apply donations. Middleman have no interest so nothing happens.

@robmen @MulbearA @Aaronontheweb What I need is a way of asking FireGiant to just send me an invoice for 36 months of donations and pay it one time then repeat in 3 years.

[Christopher Painter @chrpai]

@robmen @MulbearA @Aaronontheweb Do you offer pay by invoice yet?

@yanabantai Naw dog, I've got kids older than Ubuntu.

@edandersen @JasonThorsness What's the catch? Is there some new language construct or something where your looking for more then foreach foo in []/IEnumable<T>{}? Are we supposed to suggest a something else that meets your expectations?

@mkristensen Unless it's autogenerated code I don't generally put multiple classes in a single .cs file.

@WithinRafael 18 years of lost productivity though.

@037LAW @DOGE_for_WA @SmokyMountainsX @Starlink @elonmusk Sadly not in my parents case. Late 70s and in rural Washington State and the best they can get is 1.5mbps DSL or Hughesnet. I'd love to treat him to starlink for a year but the $1000 surcharge sucks.

@robmen Sometimes companies are trying to get a foothold in an industry and want to be able to install without elevation.

@icmanik1 @NoContextHumans The guy or the bear?

@Eldhed I suppose it'd technically still be ECMA-334 so it'd be Modern C#.

[Christopher Painter @chrpai]

@robmen Better yet they provide an HSM infrastructure and automatically keep it up to date for you so that all you have to do is sign. BTW.... Azure Trusted Signing for $10/mo is meeting all my needs.

[Christopher Painter @chrpai]

@robmen If only it was that easy. I assure you the average company will spend way more in labor just talking about if/how then the actual sponsorship itself.

Being an elite technologist and knowing how to grow a business are two different skills. I wish more people understood this.

@McClellandRuss @DevLeaderCa I'm so glad I wanted until 2.0. I'm not sure a world without generics is worth living.

[Christopher Painter @chrpai]

@DevLeaderCa Best? Who knows... I picked up C# because I came from a Win3.1/95/NT background and my enterprise arch told our team we should all learn C#. At my next job they sent us through a .NET Framework 2.0 bootcamp. It did what I needed to do so I stuck with it ever since.

[Christopher Painter @chrpai]

@robmen Sadly a very real thing.
