R1D12 Dot Net
I dove head first into .NET Core again. I tried it out when it first came out a while ago but did not make it very far. After I got rid of my initial shock that .NET was properly running on Linux I lost a bit of motivation with the complexity and incomplete documentation. Things went a lot better this time.
- I downloaded and used Visual Studio for Mac for the first time. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest. I am a huge fan of Visual Studio Code, still trying to figure out what added value Visual Studio proper brings to the table.
- I ran SQL Server inside of Docker which still blows my mind. During my first tech job I really fell in love with SQL Server (despite the sticker shock). It was nice to be in a familiar environment again after all of these years.
- I also tried out Visual Studio Team Services for the first time. It is a very feature rich development hub. It will probably take a few days to get through all of the various features but my first impressions have been good.

Mailbag: October 2026
First of all, I wanted to send a thank you to everyone who ever sent me an email or a message. I read all of them, but can’t always respond timely – and sometimes at all – but I enjoy receiving those, and learn a lot from them. I wanted to excerpt a few th...

(Note: I'm currently travelling in Canada's lovely Rocky Mountains, so I don't really have the bandwidth – mentally or in telecom terms – to come up with a brand-new Torment Nexus this week. My apologies! In its stead, please accept this republication of

Lots of people who are against the use of AI for all its ethical and inherent issues tell me this. Just ignore it. Don’t let big AI control us. The “slop” they refer to is anything created that involved an AI, and in our case (the curl project) it is in pa...
