Before you get all excited, most of these new MacBooks have been allotted to mobile engineers — aka folks working on iOS and Android platforms. There’s a solid reason behind that: compilation time. The boss just submitted this: I'm so looking forward to the new laptop!

Quote: .NET 6 new project templates and Minimal APIs. Are you ready?
Seeing the news lately... I suppose the question should be "Is it really ready?"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Maybe "minimal api" means "most of the methods are commented out because they're not working yet".

Quote: .NET 6 marks the completion of Microsoft’s plan to unify the different .NET implementations.
As usual MS is declaring victory rather than achieving it. The latter would mean I could update my solution from .net 4.x to .net 6 and at most have to click a "fix all the breaking changes" button and be good to go.

I'm not sure that's true.The minimal API thing is just a change to the templates. Personally, I think the minimal API thing is a pile of crap, and essentially changed the way this stuff has been done since the beginning of time. In a bad way.

I wasn't commenting on the minimal APIs; but MS declaring victory in unifying .net. Which as long as there are enough breaking changes that porting from framework to core will require significant work, is not unified.

And they're still enhancing LINQ, while failing to fix obvious omissions such as support for the "?." operator. Which means you never know until compilation if you can use certain valid C# expressions in LINQ.

Even the infamous Windows progress bar never went above 100, as far as I've seen. Must be a new batch of interns...

I too run into the issue of underestimating the complexity of projects on first glance. I do it a lot actually. Software estimation is the root of most evil

It will enable enterprise admins to choose the drivers to deliver via Windows Update in their environment out of an assortment of matching options and schedule them for deployment. Pick one from column A, and two from column B

These clowns - I'm going to make a prediction. Clearly this initial offering is targeting enterprise level shops. Where I work, the IT group standardizes on well know common platforms - you can have any laptop you want as long as it's a Lenovo xxx or a Dell abc. Doing so, they skip the entire driver mess to begin with.
My prediction - under the covers, the clown group, some she-her or a he-him, will decide to fold it into Windows 11 under the covers. Hell, they might even try to do it with Windows 10. And it will be an unmitigated disaster as the automatic update of drivers is already.
