Hi, I'm David - you might be here because I - Wrote a couple of kids books about programming in JavaScript - Spoke to you at an event or conference - Had a fabulous time with you and a cocktail - Have offered you some software consulting Available at 🖤

This is what all the AI "write more code faster!" hype gets completely wrong. Everything you own is a burden you must carry. Doing more with less should always be the focus - and where the hype train should be going if it were well sold.

@davidfowl Yeah, so many tragic bad rotten old examples of this on the web, AI doesn't stand a chance.

Also, might delete this account soon. Honestly, not sure it's ever worth cross-posting to this shithole anymore but man, the feels cast a long shadow of what this once was.

Less than 5% of XML Doc in C# codebases have ever contained useful remarks. Fite me.

My favourite bit about this, is the fact that there's an entirely pointless constructor comment there stops Rider from offering to turn it into a primary constructor. I know people keep trying to advocate for commenting your code in 2025, but kill this shit with fire.

Windows Vista is now old enough to drink.

You should all listen to Katatonia though.

@_josephwoodward I like BDD :)

@_josephwoodward Yeah it is (dislike that too). From function to function in the scope of a instance-per-test execution.

The only important thing about today is the Nine Inch Nails pre-sale. O2 priority up in 40 minutes for London, Co-op live for Manchester dates also. Consider this fair warning :)

One of the amusing peculiarities of the microblogging format is everyone seems to expect that any brief opinion you share in a ~140ish character format to be an exhaustive critique considering all edge cases rather than a single illustrative point. A tweet is not an essay! :)

@mapgiedev Bahahaha

@QuoningPanther I think that treads the right line between brevity and legibility. I also quite like BDS context organised tests (which is what this original sample was trying to do) to remove repetition.

@bertyJobbo @ICooper It was not :) In fact, there's another test project side-by-side with it that's using SpecFlow and is sadly worse off for it.
