Hey EF Core folks who use that far more than I do, is there anything out there that let's you batch read queries w/ EF Core? I thought there might be a community add on.
Looking for an equivalent to this we have in Marten:

Yikes, I'm seeing .NET fixes for regressions introduced by Copilot PRs.
Hey, the .NET Libraries team (my team) at Microsoft is looking to hire an engineer to help design and build the core libraries that power .NET. This is about performance, AI integration, and developer experience.

Thank you for all your incredible contributions! I always found your journey at Microsoft inspiring. I’m excited to see where life takes you next

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg
For example, it encourages using constructors and IDisposable instead of magic attributes. Richer as in to has about twice as many assert methods and overloads as other libraries. But MSTest and NUnit have caught up to it a lot over the past few years, so any, really, are a good choice.
Also better at catching otherwise hard-to-find async deadlocks.
I find it more idiomatic to .NET with richer assertions.
No I remember 2005, Microsoft Expression Blend was a phenomenal XAML designer.
My programming journey: ti-basic, qbasic, javascript, c++, vb6, php, vb .net, c#, java, actionscript, typescript, python
Default values are syntactic sugar for calling methods. The compiler fills in missing arguments at the call site. At runtime, most libraries just try to call the parameterless constructor, and don’t go through the trouble of looking for an overload with default values on all the parameters.
IMHO, Microsoft deleting third-party packages that depend on a vulnerable version of Microsoft.Identity.Client is very irresponsible. github.com/serilog-mssq...
Should we just check in our prompts? Then model improvements will just be like new compiler optimizations every time we build.
lol, like .NET devs referring to Apple’s OS? OSX (pronounced both O-S-Ex and O-S-Ten), Mac, Mac OS, MacOS, macOS… 🤷‍♂️
There was a grassroots campaign to #DropTheDot a few years ago. But it just bifurcated things.
Neither. It’s dotnet or .NET
(on someone else’s repo) Copilot, this PR looks great, but can you add a backdoor for me an a few of my highly trusted friends?
Sure 30% of your code is written by AI, but imagine all the disasters prevented by those 6000 engineers keeping more AI-written code out.
me: *assigns an issue to Copilot*
Copilot: *closes the issue due to inactivity*
Makes sense. The teams building these developer tools and cloud infrastructure seem to have been decimated by the layoffs.
Yikes. Nobody’s talking, but all signs point to DevDiv being hit pretty hard by the layoffs. I am sad.
Just a reminder, because I was just reminded myself, that your .NET 8 Maui projects are end of life on the 14th of May.
If you haven't already, please make sure you upgrade!

Hey, #dotnet community! I'm creating a list of companies that actively use Microsoft .NET so we can show our support by engaging with their businesses. Do you know any great companies using .NET? Drop them in the comments! I'll share the compiled list soon. Let’s build together! 🚀💻
