Lots of people opining on reasons; I'm very intentionally not offering thoughts there, simply talking raw data and sighing a nostalgic sigh.

Fun discovery (took me *ages* to isolate): Watch out for the RTSpecialName flag on emitted methods; ilverify/ilspy don't complain, and in netfx: ignored when N/A, but on .NET current: runtime can throw TypeLoadException

Been trying to ship a long-wanted protobuf-net feature (surrogates+inheritance) - very nearly there, but combined with my switch to arch: needing to learn new tools (peverify->ilverify, etc). But hey, at least .NET 9 can emit DLLs again now!

New job, who dis? First day for me at Redis, feels good.

Fusion Cache couldn't be easier to setup in our ASP NET applications! A single line of dependency injection? Sign me up! But Fusion Cache has a ton of awesome features and documentation that you'll actually enjoy reading. Seriously. Watch the full tutorial here:…

StackOverflow questions over time, source SEDE; sadface, lunch has been eaten

Doing final prep before a show (am dram / community theatre, I'm the audio geek), about to leave for venue, and the Surface Pro I use as FOH control is installing 24H2. Thanks Windows!

OSS announcement: Dapper, protobuf-net and SE.Redis to remain free! (but tips and sponsorships are very welcome). I wish this didn't feel like an unusual statement/position. I also totally understand the dilemma. There are exceptions, but overall: the OSS funding model fails.

Random shout: does anyone in my dev circle dabble (or deep-dive) on audio stream programming? I have a geeky idea for something interesting (think OSS including devices). I can try to dig, but someone who already knows might be able to unblock me or steer me. RT for reach!

Microsoft + OSS 💪 Kudos to Microsoft for highlighting FusionCache in the official HybridCache docs, related to 3rd party implementations. Definitely welcome, and not to take for granted. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/c…
