"Not having a debugger is actually a liberating experience because it forces you to code in a different way."
Yes. Having spent so many years with (at most) the command-line OpenVMS debugger, I agree that too much reliance on a debugger can be a bad habit. Learn to do more with less.
"VS also has this really nasty habit of creating "csproj" and "sln" files. I hate those things."
Testify, brother! We didn't have those things in Turbo Pascal, we don't need them now.
"I could have probably coded C# using a simple text editor"
Which is what I do unless I need a designer.
"It's so incredibly easy to interact with SQL Server from within Visual Studio"
I never do that.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I read a first person who complains on VS, The best IDE exists so far.Perhaps he might try one of those IDE available online online compiler console[^]
Wait, he left why would I care!

Is it a joke? Is he on drug?
Just wondering!?!

The title is just click-bait. Trolls be trolling.

Let's wait and see how long it takes for him to return to the .Net world...

He doesn't mention what type of programming he is doing. .NET may not be the best framework. It depends on what you're doing
|
|
|
|
|
That's a whole different argument here!
Though he does mention Linux on his blog, me think...

I have an instance of both VS2012 and 2013 open and together they're ALMOST taking up as much memory as Firefox. The response and startup times since VS2010 has vastly improved as well.
But hey, I'm one of those guys who use an IDE because developing is more than just typing out text in a no-frills editor. After all, the 'E' stands for 'Environment' not 'Editor'

It has long been assumed that the extinct humans were purely carnivorous and that the dietary differences from anatomically modern humans might have been responsible for their demise. But new evidence suggests that as well as enjoying a high meat intake, Neanderthals also had a significant plant element as part of their diets. ...and now they're extinct

I just can't stop reading that as "Netherlanders"... the world cup has addled my brain.

The goals of this project are simple: Create a highly configurable, easily modifiable source code beautifier. "Beauty would save the world."
|
|

|

All you need is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_%28programming_language%29[^].
And beauty shall follow as the night follows day.
P.S. I decided to download the code and see whether or not I could compile it with [HP C++ V7.3-009 for OpenVMS Alpha V8.3]
I didn't really hold out much hope, as I've never been able to successfully compile open source code on OpenVMS
So far, I have found that I have to rename config.h and add #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 , but I still get:
void log_fmt(log_sev_t sev, const char *fmt, ...) __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)));
..................................................^
expected a "{"
at line number 96 in file MY$ROOT:[UNCRUSTIFY.SRC]LOGGER.H;1
Which appears to be a GNU thing: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html[^]
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

As big as Internet of Things could be, the only real way to measure its value is by developer counts, not sensor counts. "They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army."

I still don't understand what's supposed to be good about "The Internet Of Things."
|
|
|
|
|
It's got things.
Really. Some people!

Microsoft will no longer send security bulletins, security advisories and security bulletin revisions to people via emails. The software giant has notified users, those that have subscribed to security updates, that the company will no longer push such updates to their email inboxes. "Blame Canada"

If the user has opted in, surely it shouldn't be an issue....I smell more BS.

You can still get some thru RSS instead.
If you can ever get Outlook to pull them.

At the peak of Microsoft’s browser war with Netscape in 1996, a small two-man team by the name of V_Graph approached Microsoft with a novel browser component that could integrate web content into custom applications. They called their product “web widgets.” "Well, this theory, that I have, that is to say, which is mine,... is mine."

According to new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Facebook altered the News Feeds for hundreds of thousands of users as part of a psychology experiment devised by the company's on-staff data scientist. By scientifically altering News Feeds, the experiment sought to learn about the way positive and negative effect travels through social networks, ultimately concluding that "in-person interaction and nonverbal cues are not strictly necessary for emotional contagion." Just in case you needed another reason not to like Facebook

There was a conversation on an email discussion list over the past couple days where one individual running WSUS to patch computer reported that Windows 8.1 was not shown correctly as a targeted system. Instead, it was being reported as version 6.2. Because six versions ought to be enough for everyone
