It later emerged that the United States and Israel were behind Stuxnet.
The US acknowledged its involvement, making Stuxnet the first officially confirmed cyberweapon created by a state for physical sabotage of an adversary’s infrastructure.

The virus manipulated the rotation speed of centrifuges until they were damaged — all without operators realizing anything was wrong.
No explosions, no alarms, no smoke. A silent sabotage.

“Stuxnet” was the first cyberweapon in history designed to physically destroy industrial infrastructure.
Its target was centrifuges in Iranian uranium enrichment facilities. Infection method? USB drives.
Sounds simple, but from a technological standpoint, it was an impressive achievement.

Could there be a grain of truth to this?

But wait, there's more! Redis, Moq and Fluent Assertions from the .NET world. License changes can cost businesses more or make them look for alternatives. How did it affect you?

I use MassTransit and MediatR in many projects. Both packages provide an IMediator interface. Both have a Send method. Many times I accidentally injected an IMediator from MassTransit instead of one from MediatR. In this case, the code compiles like a charm. The problem only showed up in runtime.

Yeah. There's more. For example, Task class

I haven't used it, but it's still not an IDE. The creators themselves advertise it as "The AI ​​Code Editor". Afaik, apart from AI completions, there's no possibility to use Linter, so it's a bit too little for everyday work.

You reminded me that I used asdf to manage Ruby and Python versions. I see there's a plugin for .NET too. I guess I'll have to try it out. Btw. dnvm looks great!

I've always installed the .NET SDK using the dotnet-install script. The problem came up when I used the installer downloaded from Microsoft's website. For some reason, the two installation methods put the SDK in different places. Maybe you have a similar problem?

VS Code is more of a pretty cool extensible editor. You can build an IDE by installing extensions and configuring it, but it's not an IDE out of the box. Unfortunately - you build it, so you maintain it. Rider is a full-fledged .NET IDE right out of the box.

Are there any solid alternatives for .NET developers not using Windows? Could Microsoft be developing a new cross-platform IDE, or perhaps secretly porting Visual Studio for other systems? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Did anyone truly miss Visual Studio for Mac after it was discontinued? It certainly offered a different experience compared to its Windows version. Now it's gone, so we have one less option to choose from.

It's about picking the right tool for the problem. This skill is no less important than purely technical skills. But it comes with time.
