We are in the exact same boat. We've been with them since 2002 (when it was still SWReg). We should have switched back in August when they changed the agreement and postponed payment till 60 days. It sounded 'legit' but it sh

They also kicked out Karl Peterson, who designed the first MVP logo (the diamond with the large MVP inside it) and wrote about 3000+ reply posts a year in various visual basic groups. The reason? He was a VB6 MVP and very vocal against VB.N

I've been a C# MVP for many years before they didn't renew me because I was too critical towards MS' direction (this was before they OSS-ed .NET). When I was awarded, it felt like I received an award for my position in the .N

Or you know, Google could have emailed them, told them exactly that and waited for a response before pulling the plug on the servers. While you make sense from Google's PoV, it doesn't from the customer's PoV. As google is

I think they still are mainly focused on their ad business as the core of the company and cloud is something they 'do on the side'. For Microsoft, Azure is core business, it's the future of the company. If they fuck it up, th

- It gives then 'streetcred' in the OSS communities using GitHub. This goodwill is valuable. - It allows them to peek into any private repo on GH right from their own office. All major players host code there, likely a lot of them

You missed a part: > Note: the release/2.0.0 branch of the CLI repo is based on the upcoming v2 of .NET Core and is considered pre-release. i.e. it's still preview (albeit 2.0.1).

> The whole point of Core is that MS have rewritten .Net and ASP to learn the lessons of more modern languages. ASP.NET 4.6 is standing on 19 years of cruft which is why it has so many weird and complicated parts. MS hasn't rewritte

If 'core' stuff is optional, it's not core at all, it's optional. Core material is the core of something. So naming things 'core' is stupid if it's not the core of something. Here, the .NET core libraries&

Hierarchy is not only there for 'telling X to do ABC', but also to make clear who takes responsibility. If there's no leader, who's responsible for decisions taken? A random person who happens to be in a team who did som

> I believe computing has 1 concept needed to be understood by programmers: Input & Ouput. That's all programming is. No, programming is making output from input. Input is just a set of bytes, and output is also a set of bytes.

A Formula 1 car is disqualified if its reverse doesn't work (and this is the case for quite some time now). Not sure which team you're referring to, I mean Minardi was sold to Red Bull in 2005, so it has to be before that ;)

I think it's better to simply learn the commands than to have a tremendous amount of history logged. If you have to type a lot of command parameters a lot you can always automate that with aliases anyway.
