Under the Hood: How Do C# Top-Level Statements Actually Work? -- Visual Studio Live!: Training Conferences and Events for Enterprise Microsoft .NET and Azure Developers Benjamin Day is inspired by a student's question.

My column for @vslive.bsky.social just went live and it's one of my favorite things I've written in a while. It's a nerdy deep-dive into how C# top-level statements work. I even get into the weeds of looking at the .NET IL impl of "hello, world". Give it a read! #csharp vslive.com/Blogs/News-a...

got a function generating a RETURN_VALUE opcode on another machine that it doesn't generate on my dev machine and for very cursed reasons im relying on it not doing that 😭

I started reading The Staff Engineer’s Path by Tanya Reilly, and there’s one line I really liked — something along the lines of:
“If you find yourself saying, ‘Someone should do this,’ then you should probably do it.”
