My post from yesterday talked about the biggest class I have come across in my lifetime. Turns out, thanks to C#’s partial keyword, the class is even bigger.

I was working with a new codebase today and I was working on wrapping some unit tests around a section of code in a class. While working, I realized I had come across the BIGGEST class I have ever seen in my life. So big in fact that Visual Studio’s IntelliSense was lagging. For the […]
The purpose behind unit testing is to help ensure the code you have written performs as expected.

I took the exam back on April 15th and because the exam was in beta when I took it, I just got the results of the […]
Just recently Claudio Lassala and George Mauer have resurrected their Virtual Brown Bag Meetings on Thursdays from 12-1 pm Central. I like to attend them because it gives me a look at what people are doing outside of the tech stack I usually play in or ideas for new ways to play with my current […]
So thanks to this COVID-19 stuff, I suddenly find myself with more time on my hands. In an effort to try not to waste this time, I’ve decided to start taking some Microsoft Azure certifications. I have already taken AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals. So the next step is gonna be AZ-204 Developing Solutions for Microsoft […]
