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...

Predicting the Future, Estimating, and Running Your Projects with Flow Metrics - Benjamin Day

I just published a new course! Ever get the feeling that your estimates are always wrong? Is your team struggling to figure out when features will done and delivered? You should try flow metrics. #flowmetrics #throughput #cycletime #scrum #agile

Dude. I know the feeling. When I don't take my anxiety/depression meds, i usually notice I 1) want to scream at everyone and 2) that the world is awful and nothing is good and everything sucks and probably will suck for all time permanently forever. Amazing what a silly little pill can do, huh?
