Well, from the neck up, everything's apparently the same as it's been, or seems so, at least internally (why did my hair get so crazy - and change to gray?).
However, from the neck, down, 'er, um. + (although no thanks at all for reminding me).

Tried the newest NuGet version of Fody Costura, NuGet Gallery | Costura.Fody 5.1.0[^]
But nope it wasn't fun at all, could not make heads or tail of it and it made me feel dumb.
Just used a version of years ago which worked perfectly with my .NET 4.7 WinForms application and several 3rd party dll's without generating a monstrous 285 Mb packages folder and packaged everything neatly in a single exe without any problems.

I looked at that a couple years ago and said "screw that" and rolled my own solution.
My solution supports compression and unpacks assemblies to memory on-the-fly. I had to write up a custom Build task and manually insert it into my project's MsBuild script. There's also code you have to write to support unpacking the assemblies, but it works great. It cuts a 2.8MB executable down to less than 830K.
I'm thinking about writing an article for it, but time is the issue right now.

I tried Fody C some time ago, but found that once it's integrated into a project, it's impossible to get rid of it. (At least I couldn't figure out how to decouple it from the project.) So I've never tried it again.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Luckily I had that figured out years ago and only had to reference some dll's that I put apart in a "Common" folder. All NuGet stuff was already removed and I only had to edit the project file.
To my surprise it worked with .NET 4.7 at the first try

I always thought NuGet was the stuff inside a three musketeers bar.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

For the past six months I've been working on a project for my biggest client.
Basically, they had Micros;f'[tppppp' (cat walked over my keyboard...) Microsoft Dynamics NAV and they switched to Business Central (BC) and I got to re-make all their custom work in Dynamics NAV.
The reason they're not doing this in BC is because that would take way more time and be way more expensive as their Dynamics partner isn't as fast or flexible as I am.
I've build this web application, hosted in Azure, where they can import their production data (through CSV because that's how they roll) and I create invoices and some other stuff from that data.
That data is then moved from my database to BC by some third party (I could've done that myself, but I can't access all software they're running and they wanted everything to go through this third party tool).
It went pretty well, save for one background process.
This process runs every day at noon and generates 10 to 15 Excel files.
We had about two records of test data for this process (and despite me asking several times it was impossible to get more), but in production we have 5000+ records and apparently, the Excel (Open XML) library that I'm using can't handle that much data very well.
Because budget for this process was small I simply built this task in the web application I was already building for them.
Saved me a lot of time and them a lot of money... NOT!
Every day at noon, the application comes to a grinding halt because the Azure service app goes to max CPU and memory for about 20 minutes.
I tried adding another instance, but this didn't completely mitigate the problem.
The work around is now that I run this process on my laptop every day at noon.
At least until I've moved this process away from the web application (hopefully early next week).
It's all part of the job I guess...
Overall the client's very happy with me and my work though, and I can expect the follow-up project soon!

And, any easter eggs?

No, you don't get those until tomorrow!

When they make a payment of €666 to JUUN Software, DOOM starts to play in the application
That would've been an awesome Easter egg, actually
But for real, no.

Well done, sounds like a good job.

Agh, I hate it when this kind of capacity/reliability issues rears its head. It's so frustrating.

Hehe... be careful, in case the client gets used to this.

Yeah, we expected some issues, but not this.

Sometimes you gotta make your own test data.  This reminds me of the worst product rollout (over 5 years ago) that I've ever been a part of involving a super tight deadline for an Azure web app. The client promised at least 5 pilot sites (out of 70) for testing during the month leading up to rollout. Only 1 participated and then only half-assed...it wasn't pretty.

This is why we do batch processing/backups in the wee hours. Does it have to be done at noon? 
Good luck! My current issue involves a pesky unhandled exception in a web application that occurs only on iOS when the user closes the web page/browser using the h/w button, then re-opens it with the shortcut. It apparently tries to go back where it left off instead of going to the login page like it does on any other browser...even Safari on Windows!  Nobody is complaining, but I can't stand seeing 500s in the logs.

The worst part is, you can't even blame the customer... Well you can, but they won't be happy about it. Probably even less happy than when you take the blame and fix it 
kmoorevs wrote: Does it have to be done at noon?
Yeah, the generated reports show unpaid invoices and credit limits.
The bank payments are read at around 11:00 so my reports are generated at 12:00 and credit control checks them in the afternoon and they want the most recent payments to be there.

Ouch, good luck with that!

Isn't that an abandoned project from years ago?
