It’s our IDE of choice at work. Yeah we do some Windows forms stuff but mainly enterprise web applications now using C# .Net Entity Framework, GraphQL, and Typescript React.

Our company is all in on MS, we have windows machines, use Azure etc.

We get clients that send us screenshots but they use their phone to photograph their laptop

I’d buy that, all the others must have asbestos otherwise they’d say they don’t right.

As a Visual Studio Professional user it’s so hard to google help for that too without VSCode leaking into the results.

Get outta here your nuance and critical thinking. /s

It’s the snow for me. The dog is great but the snow doesn’t sell it.

Website literally has mesh in the name, no need to guess. Then would you believe it, but if you open the site it tells you more information and mentions the internet several times.

Ironic considering you should get out more as clearly your worldview is severely warped.

Christ you seem that dense that you could be mistaken for a black hole.

Sure a lot can be assholes or whatever, but it doesn’t mean we just assume everybody is. Reddit had a mince problem, it’s likely you came from Reddit, during API gate I would guess, you happy be called a mince too?

Then you’re going in about Jan 6th like it’s apples to apples. I didn’t say all single digit millionaires are good. Furthermore many if those people did that not because they’re rich but because they have fucked up political beliefs.

Good for you. Shame unit someone assumed you were a slumlord too wouldn’t it. Personally if I earned that much I would be retired once I hit £1M. I also don’t judge people based on a singular purchase, that’s bloody insane and really does seem naive.

I’m not defending anybody, I’m merely pointing out the idiocy of saying all X are Y.

Next time I buy a car I’ll be sure to consult you to ensure that I’m making a choice that fits your world view. Do I need to do this with others things too? As I neglected to reach out when I bought a new camera recently.

Literally met a doctor who owned a Ferrari, it wasn’t a made up thing. To be clear he is a consultant cardiologist.

In fact when I worked for Apple I met many regular rich people who just have decent lives from value jobs and worked hard.

If you think single or double digit millionaires are the problem then you’re misguided. The problem is generational wealth or those with hundreds of millions or billions extracting value from the world.

FYI: A consultant (medical) can earn £100k - £140k per year in the UK. Source Easily enough to finance a Ferrari with low interest or save and buy one, or the shock even lease one.

Who is even saying that? I don’t believe I ever mentioned cost.

Really don’t get this mindset. A doctor can earn enough money to buy a Ferrari and it’s their money to do with as they please.

My issue is with people with obscene wealth, not rich people who work hard and provide actual value to the world.

Honestly I find your viewpoint to be quite naive at best and bitterness at worst.

🥱 👋

Brother the fact you use those terms indicates you are an insecure pos. Can bet my last pound you wouldn’t talk to me like that to my face, just because I’ve got empathy for days doesn’t mean I’m above putting a bigot on the ground.

Be better my guy, if only for the sake of your mental health. Hatred is a killer and will just drag you down.

If you ever want to chat civilly about anything hmu, I got you. I believe people can change if given some compassion and actually interact with the people you hate.

Where’s the line drawn here?

Like I never like to label all X as Y for a start, but if you own a Porsche are you a wanker? I own a Mercedes I am am I a wanker?

Is it sports car with little utility? I have many things that make me happy with little utility.

Edit: Removed the Freudian slip 😦

All three of those examples got away with it for literal decades.

Literally what I’m saying. They got away with it because they had utility for other people and when they no longer did that’s when they get indicted, cause people stop running cover.

Haha how dare you out pedant me.

This is great. Appreciate you taking the time. I’m in no state to read these right now, had surgery with a GA today, but I’ve added them to my reading list.

I don’t believe that’s what I said, or at least it wasn’t my intention. I was more trying to highlight that wealthy people (which are not in the way to being poor) will be protected by the people that stand to gain from that protection, not simply for being rich.

I also explicitly said that the justice system does favour the rich, not in a malicious way but more because we have a system that means rich folk can afford more man hours which translates to a better defence.

I want to be clear I’m not defending rich folk here, just being a pedant I guess.

Any sources for me to learn more about this? Not doubting but also curious.
