Digging around in code I wrote 10-15 years ago to find a bug in a rare edge case. Two conflicting thoughts go through my mind.
1. This code shouldn't work at all, in any case.
2. This bug should not exist, it should work just like any other case.

Nothing kills the development flow more than large code files with a lot of indentation going on.
Nothing is more fun to refactor either.

How well do you know .NET and Localization? We’ve got a puzzle with localizing some text this week..
And no one can solve it!

I'm wondering how many imposter syndrome spirals are actually starting with a simple typo.
Went down the valley of despair because of mistyping localhost with locatlost. Well, that's my morning gone.

Adding .HasShadowId() to my entities in ModelBuilder reverted to old behavior
EF Core 9, using CosmosDB, seems to have an undocumented breaking change 😟
Previously, when I used the Id property as a partition key, the partition key was "/Id". Now in EF Core 9, it lower cases the Id and becomes "/id". Application breaks.
If you know a workaround, I'm happy to hear it.

I solved the USB problem a few years ago, when I discovered they have faces.
The side that makes the happy face goes up.
But that's not always the case, it depends on how the circuit board is installed in its case, but usually it's happy face up.

Upgraded to .NET 9 and my application went from starting in 3 seconds to 3 tenths of a second!!!
