By the CodeProject folks. They do reject stuff (including some of my previous submissions.) For something so large it would be hard to do more than just provide a very light overview, which might be considered just fluff or something.
The other articles I've posted have picked specific bits of it, so that at least some level of detail could be gotten into. Though even that stuff I was attacked somewhere for just tooting my own horn and not explaining anything.

You could post the readme from your github as an article. Cleaned-up and 'article-ized' of course.

Based on the title, why give drivel an audience?

Some fool wrote: As you may all know, developers are a social tribe that is well known for using MacBooks with stickers on them. Seriously?

I couldn't bring myself to read it (the whole article that is).
Sounds like it was written by someone who really doesn't know what we do, and how we do it. I could be wrong.

I would never put stickers on my iCrap development machine! Mainly because I don't have one, have never had one, have never wanted to have one and would refuse one if offered.
I got a scam call the other day from "apple support" saying they had detected a problem with my MacBook. I said, "Yes, the problem is that they are too expensive but I solved that problem by not travelling all the way to the Apple Store to buy it on sale with a special discount." "Oh really?", they replied, "How much did you save?". "I saved 100% plus tax in the process." "Wow! Good deal!", they said - at which point i got bored, hung up and blocked the number.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

It might make an interesting poll...for professional work only, what OS do you actually develop on?
I'd bet at least 80% of us here are using Windows and VS. I personally do not know a developer who uses a mac for work...but then again, I don't know that many developers in the real world.

Indeed.
Windows and VS is simply what I do now (mostly).
I prefer OpenVMS, but I'm glad I don't have to use a VT100 anymore.

Jeeze, are we supposed to take advice from someone who can't even set up his monitor correctly?
His web-site profile says: I live in London, where I help to deliver great products. Cool.
But we've already established that I don't like fast-food pizza, so I'm somewhat dubious of the "great".

Under his "Most annoying issues I encountered" He lists "You never know if an issue is Windows related, Linux related, or even some software running on Windows like the Windows Defender Firewall."
I think my list of most annoying issues would include:
People who can't be bothered to learn the skills to figure out the origin of an issue.
I work largely on Windows based system with a very small amount on Objective-C(shudder).
However the real meat of professional web software development nowadays concerns concepts that are cross platform and the OS you are working on is largely incidental.
When I am debugging calls to a REST API I am more concerned about the tools I have available rather than what OS I am working with - and Postman works very nicely in Windows.

The more pertinent question is "Is Windows an option for developers?"
I've just about had it with Windows automatic updates. Now that I can do web development with .NET Core on a Linux box, and there's good IDE's from JetBrains out there, yeah, I'm ready to ditch Windows for any kind of development.
Hmmm, might be an idea for my next IoT article, haha -- a full C# ASP.NET Core web development environment on an rPi!

Who would want to reach 800M users? And on a platform where you might still have a chance at actually selling non-trivial software instead of an advertisement delivery system or data gathering system.
Do it while you can because the capability of actually being in the software business to sell software is eroding away all to quickly. Pretty soon, we will be in the same shoes as musicians. You can't sell the music so use it to sell something else, or as a way into acting, or to get corporate sponsorships. Will we have to start dancing in booty shorts to sell software before long?

The whole article can be summarized as "it's hard because it's not what I'm used to", and really, this goes both ways.

I might give him some credit if he suggested using a Linux system. But he went full "vs OSX".
You know, that OS made for people that don't know how to use computers. When I see a professional using one, I always imagine a baker trying to work to scale with an EZ-Bake oven.

Oh I had this pasted into an email to my wife.
But I'm gonna save this for dinner prep tonight.
I'm gonna know on the fridge door and listen for a response.
When my unsuspecting wife asks WTF am I doing, I'm gonna drop that punch line and her eyes will roll back in her head and never come back.
This is gonna be fun.
