The interview industrial complex of tech hiring is badly broken - from "elite code" test nonsense (and prep companies), to ageism, and a months-long process.

Listen to @tedneward and I talk about it.

They got that out quickly!

An O'Really? publication.

A C# Hello World has not needed to look like that for years!

Not the first, but the most memorable of the early ones.

Blogged: Create a Task and Start it Later.

With C# you can create a task, but defer execution until later.

Why do this? You can cache tasks and make sure the value is computed once, on demand, even if it is requested thousands of time

Doing Some Cleanup in a BackgroundService | no dogma blog If you use the Worker Service template in .NET, you may want to do some cleanup when the background service is canceled. In this post, I'll show you how to do this.

If you use BackgroundServices you will know there is often a Task.Delay(1000, ct), but did you know if the cancellation token is cancelled during the delay, the expected TaskCanceledException is hidden making harder to do clean up work.

Wow, AI is copying people now!

The app won't let me. I think you need to follow me back?

...PowerShell, git, GitHub command line

@csharpfritz.com May I dm you?

That's all I use.

Ubuntu, VS Code, Rider, Data Grip, and Docker (for databases, queues, Kafka, redis, etc).

Same on pixel 7a

I like messing around with Kafka and C#, but goodness, it takes an almost magic incantation to get it running with Docker. Here is an example with bitnami, but it applies to most images.

#csharp #dotnet #kafka
