  • The myth of code coverage
    D Dominic Burford

    My thoughts exactly. I would rather have higher test coverage around the poorly written code that is more likely to break somewhere.

    .NET 5 will be out of support when its successor .NET 6 is released (currently scheduled to be end of 2021). .NET 6 will be an LTS (Long Term Support) release.

  • Git is simply too hard
    D Dominic Burford

    I totally agree with this. Having spent many years using other version control systems, I've found Git the hardest to get to grips with. Conceptually it's quite simple, but at the detailed level it's insidiously difficult.

  • C# 9.0: Target-typed new expressions – Make your initialization code less verbose
    D Dominic Burford

    This is just syntactic sugar and doesn't really add very much. I actually prefer the more verbose version of instantiating an object as it's less ambiguous.

    I must admit that the same sentence jumped out at me too when I first read it. I thought they may have been referring to something else, as that's exactly what indexes are for.

    By the power of LinkedIn. There's an option to set your yourself as being available for work. This is only visible to recruiters. You can also search for and apply for jobs on LinkedIn too.

  • New job
    D Dominic Burford

    After working remotely for the first 10 weeks during the UK lockdown, I was furloughed in June. I was told it would only be for a few weeks, but as a precaution I updated my CV and started to see what else was out there. I later heard that my furlough would be at least another month. I decided to look for a new role in earnest at this point. My employer work in the car fleet sector and have been hard hit by the economic downturn (with fewer people driving to work and using cars generally). So I interviewed for a few roles, and one of them seemed a really good match for my skills and they had a forward thinking and positive attitude. They made me an offer and I start September 1st. In the meantime I've already handed in my notice with my current employer and in the process of handing over my work to the rest of the team (they've taken me off furlough for this). The interview process was completely different. There was no face-to-face. It was a telephone interview followed by an MS Teams interview a week later involving several people from the company joining the call at different times. I'm excited at the new challenges that lie ahead :)

    I use dark mode everyewhere that it's an option - Visual Studio, Twitter, Facebook, Outlook etc. I find it drastically reduces the amount of eye strain.
