We've been on a path of destruction with source generators. We're on a mission to make all of our libraries as fast as possible while becoming fully AOT compliant. Today, we're releasing a bunch of new libraries to help you code your #dotnet #dotnetmaui apps faster - Read Thread

Sesame Street isn't a business. The Post Office isn't supposed to turn a profit. Firefighters and police aren't meant to generate revenue. Not everything in society needs to be about making money.

I constantly see 2 types of crippled software companies
1. no process, no plans, no tests - just code
2. too much process, unit tests where they provide little value and require a lot of effort to get, over engineering, debating naming, discussing problems that don't exist and likely never will

I'm having some serious success with .NET Orleans. Very underrated technology. I am curious what the community uses for a querying layer? I have a readonly log database that I query against, but essentially "doubles" the work.
