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.

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

Blogged: Creating an analyzer to detect infinite loops caused by ThreadAbortExceptions

andrewlock.net/creating-an-...

In this post I describe a Roslyn Analyzer that detects code which can result in infinite loops if a ThreadAbortException is raised

#dotnet #csharp

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.

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.

Handling the context gets interesting when seeing with Entity Framework -
