One of my early jobs was with a company building minicomputers. Every manufacturer had their own OS in those days. I happened to discover a reproducible situation sending the OS into an infinite loop. I went to one of the OS guys, describing it, and he dug out a hardcopy printout of the source code. We did all application programming in high level languages then, but the OS was written in a language at somewhat lower than C - you could maipulate registers directly, and use inline assembler when needed.
After about fifteen minutes of grunting, flipping back and forth bewteen the pages of the OS listing, he nodded a "yes!", grabbed his pen and wrote two numbers into the source code - two 16 bit values in octal format. I asked him what that was. "Oh, that's the patch for it".
He had jotted down not the source code change. Not the assembler instructions that would be generated by the language compiler, but the octal codes for those assembler instructions. Why? Because he would try out the patch by poking directly into the running OS code of his test machine, and then it is very convenient to have the value ready in advance.
Yeah, I suppose he was right. But he didn't need to look up the instruction code anywhere before jotting it down in the listing, so I guess he could have managed with the assembler instruction as well. But why bother with instruction names, when you know the instruction code.

How bad this is? Just to view a task & it's related sub-tasks in hierarchical view, you need to buy a separate plugin! This "marketplace" idea is getting to micro now. 
Try the new Visual Studio Online (Azure Devops). All the basic features come for free. Good UX.
VSO is a great offering. Not sure why people talking not much about it & sticking to JIRA.

We have to JIRA, it starting to get to the stage we have to raise a ticket for a toilet break!

Ummm no, got in to trouble for raising JIRA was sent on a course, now know less than I did before...

Jira has become a victim of its own success. It started out as a bug management tool and it has bolted "feature" after "feature" on top. Each one has become more and more clunky because the underlying model was never meant to behave in the ways that people want to use it now.

So I have a post build event in my .csproj with the idea that I want to run dotnet publish after I built the code in Visual Studio. But, because dotnet publish picks up the post build event as well, guess what. Inf***ingite loop.
Why why why?

Off the top of my head, something like this might work.
<Target Name="PostPackNugetDeploy" AfterTargets="Pack" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">

Lol. No, I copied the dotnet publish from the MSDN docs.

I was hoping not to -- all I want is to publish to an arm processor and then use PuTTY's command line pscp to copy the files.
Technically, yes, I should use a CI to trigger the the publish and copy only the files that have changed, but I thought I'd try a "simple" post-event build step first.

Visual Studio sets a $(BuildingInsideVisualStudio) property to true when a build started from inside VS.
I think that using this property inside a conditional will do what you want:
<Choose>
<When Condition="$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)==true">
<PropertyGroup>
<PostBuildEvent>dotnet publish "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)"</PostBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>
</When>
</Choose>
Since VS is invoking the dotnet CLI, the PostBuildEvent won't be triggered a second time since the second build was kicked off by the CLI executable and not VS.
Hopefully I correctly understood what you're trying to accomplish.

Hah! My google-fu was not up to snuff when I tried searching for such a thing earlier. Thank you!

A while back I picked up my first 4k monitor - a Dell U2515H ultrasharp. They are out of production now, but the model that replaced it simply blows compared to the U2515H. If you don't have one or more 4k monitors, you're missing things. VS is actually usable with all of the real-estate available.

Personally I don't see the fuss that is made of 4K the human eye can't detect any real difference...

It's more of a real-estate issue. I can actually have multiple working tabs open in my development tools without occlusion.... but I agree with the comment about the eye...

But we're not talking about a TV across a room, we're talking about a monitor on a desk.
I use a 4K 40" TV as my monitor (well, one of them anyway). That means I get 3840x2160 on a display 40 inches across. Human eye limits or not, that means I get twice the resolution (for each axis) I would get if I was only spreading 1920x1080 across that same surface area. I get 4 times the real-estate, so what I could do on a 1080p monitor, I can do in a quarter of the space available. Which means I can load (and view) a lot more windows at the same time.
If the text was so small I'd need to rescale to 200%, then I'd agree--you're just blowing up 1 pixel to be rendered by 4 and that's a complete waste.
Those who don't see the point of the 8K displays currently being introduced at CES are all complaining about the lack of media availability. I don't care for watching movies at 8K - but if I could get a display that can show 7680x4320 for a reasonable amount of money, I'd be replacing my 4K monitor and the additional 1080p monitors with a single panel.
