Started looking at incorporating "Storyboards" (WPF/UWP) into my UWP "frame based" app. Didn't know how to accommodate both at the same time originally (different "time lines"), but things are becoming more clear.
Just so I didn't paint myself into a corner, I created 400 rectangles to test my conclusions. Then assigned 400 different "story boards" to each rectangle, then started them moving all at the same time. "Smooth as butter" and negligible CPU. (UWP has a separate composition thread that runs "independent" of the UI thread "if" you create "independent" (of layout) timelines / storyboards; which inludes moving and rotating).
In other words, I think (raw) UWP and C# make a great games platform.

How about a short article or tip? Would be useful for the rest of us.

My search for "help" found very few where I was threading.
It seems in its architecture, MS only considers "one time" or "forever" animations. It's a bit of voodoo to get your zombies back. I'd be doing more apologizing than providing helpful advice. We'll have to see how it ends; but it is actually reducing my code base since I was starting to write my own "slaves" (before realizing it). Instead of "threads", I can feel somewhat confident about unleashing a few hundred "storyboards".

MS does promote UWP as a game development UI, but not with C#... C# can be a performance problem if the game is demanding...
And of course UWP as a MS only realm...

UWP compiles to ARM. Runs on XBox. MS is getting more stuff running on Android. Things don't look as bleak as when I was coding in Visual FoxPro.
As for performance, my timer based frame rate is 20 FPS, and everything I need to do I am able to do in 50 ms with enough to spare. And this is a "big" demanding app.
EV's these days have 1000HP; is one with 600HP a performance problem?

From the CP newsletter
Thereβs More Proof That Return to Office Is Pointless[^]
Discusses claims that return to office is more efficient and then covers research that suggests otherwise.
It also closes with the following
"The United Parcel Service is mandating staff return to the office five days a week ... The package shipper hopes this change, and 12,000 layoffs, will help the company bounce back from a slowdown in shipments"
I can only hope that the article phrased that badly, because of course that is nonsensical.

I prefer an office. There are too many distractions at home.

I always feel these studies are very one-sided or leave things out.
For my own employees, I have a sort of 50/50 rule, but I'm flexible.
The thing I notice is, when we're at the office we talk, we laugh, we share knowledge, etc.
They may not be the most productive days in terms of lines of code, or however you want to measure programmer productivity, but we're making progress, not just now, but also for the future.
Like this guy who wrote a health check in .NET and I was like "Hey other guy, you should see this! We're going to build this into every application from now on, so you too."
This sort of interaction is priceless and it's simply missing at home.
Let's put it into numbers.
We have a junior employee with a productivity of 6 at the office and 5 at home, because at home they can't ask questions like they do at the office.
Worse case scenario, the junior has a productivity of 6 or even 7 at home, so they code bugs even faster, but let's stick to 5.
We also have a senior employee with a productivity of 7 at the office, but 9 at home because the junior is not nagging him as much.
Some simple math tells us productivity at the office is 6.5, but productivity at home is 7!
If the junior has his way and isn't corrected, the "productivity" could even grow to 8!!!
However, neither party learns something and the junior might get frustrated with their job and fall back to 4 productivity in the long run, (silent) quit their job, or unleash all kinds of horrors into production systems.
That's longer term, of course, so for now we're happy with a productivity of 7 (or higher).
When the senior quits you're left with a junior who never got to learn from his peers.
I think you need a very well oiled development machine (with code reviews and everything) to be able to have the same kind of productivity from home that you have at the office.
I think what hampers productivity is the "you have to be at the office five times a week" mentality.
It shows an employer who doesn't care about their employees' wellbeing.
Also, having long commutes is killing, that's why I won't soon hire people that live further than approximately 45 minutes away.
That's why I like 50/50, it's the best of both worlds.
You just can't convince me either one is all good or all bad.
Any study that says otherwise, like this one, is flawed and drawing wrong conclusions.
Case in point, this particular study studied the largest corporations America has to offer, but I'm just a small business in the Netherlands, which is (probably) completely different.

I agree 50/50 is a win/win
