👋 I'm working on to help web devs build more maintainable and enjoyable apps. ❤️ @dotnet, @reactjs, vertical slice, and DDD

I’m moving over to 🦋 exclusively

Come join us, the grass really is greener 💚

@devongovett I guess I was thinking of needing to make it a button, but you mean something like this?

onSelectionChange={(id) => {
if (id === 'complex-create') {
setIsOpen(true)
｝

As someone working in tech, I cannot unsee how harmful mobile phones and apps are for kids. Many apps and games use dark patterns that gambling apps utilize to create addiction - maddening that they can and do.

No wonder more people working in tech try to keep kids off of it all

This seems small but pops up enough that it’s annoying

.NET 9 is about to drop, which means that the team is about to firm up what to put into .NET 10’s backlog — be sure to upvote whatever matters most to you!

Other than DU, my biggest asks are about EF — Here’s some that you might care about ⏬

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

After getting bulk delete and update in .NET 6 (i believe) we still don’t have a good way to do bulk updates without hand rolling it or leaning on a 3rd party lib

@sander_scode @JackEllis @linear @youtrack is decent and can do super advanced stuff. If anything the amount of flexibility/power you get can almost be overwhelming.

And idk what use cases, but I doubt jira handles them well and I’d probably rather simplify or come up with an alt than use it

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@sander_scode @JackEllis Pretty much everything is better than jira lol

I’ve heard great things about @linear but haven’t been able to use it professionally. Maybe one days I’ll land in a .NET/React shop who uses it 🙂

@TkDodo I’m on there too! Seems like more of us are moving over now and it’s not a dead zone anymore 🙂

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@sdoowhsoj @shl @GergelyOrosz Yeah this is definitely part of it based on follow up talks I had in the thread. If you can’t live close to work, start your own biz

In person isn’t even the full picture for this. Were the projects that didn’t complete yet just not as good? More complex? Have other blockers?

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@lgleasain @shl @GergelyOrosz I wouldn’t say it’s just about QOL. Personally in my teams I’ve seen remote be a boon. Higher quality staff in a better headspace without a commute and more time with family. On sites give the in person wins

Was getting at frets because small prod boost for $$ is 😔

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@shl @lgleasain @GergelyOrosz It’s also beyond my original point

Even if in-person gives you a productivity boost of let’s say 5%, is that really worth the sacrifice of not having remote employees and all the pros that it brings with quality of life and an increased hiring pool?

It sounds like any gain is

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@shl @lgleasain @GergelyOrosz No it’s just not even realistic. Lol. Most local businesses don’t have the funds to commit to custom software like that.

Even for sake of argument, let’s say there’s some. Is that story feasible for alllllll of the devs that don’t want to live in the city for whatever reason.

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

What a fascinating conversation

Makes me sad that businesses prioritize money over everything, including the quality of life of their people. Every cent matters no matter what

Wish we could find a balance to still make money and innovate while also prioritizing our people

[Paul DeVito @pdevito3]

@shl @GergelyOrosz For sake of argument, let’s say we can squeeze an extra X% by doing fully in person.

Personally, I still think there’s the overall picture to consider like employee happiness from family or home location, traffic reduction, less offices, etc.

What business cost is worth that?
