If 10 people on the internet tell you they want to kill you, how do you tell if 1 of them is serious and is actually going to show up physically? The answer is that you can't, and there isn't a firm line where all trolling is on o

I have some frustrations with browsh's docs too, but the readme in the github repo does link to a build guide[1], and the build steps are also reproduced in the Dockerfile. [1] https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh&

"dotnet publish" should have you covered for restoring from nuget, compiling and producing a deployable package. Is there something it's missing for your use case? Noda Time might have what you need in a datetime library.
