I assume by DSL they mean some custom templating language built on top, for things like iterating and if-conditions. If it's plain JSON/YAML you can produce that using any language you wish.

For the most part I agree with you: there is less functionality and hence less to police. There are also fewer people in chats/channels, as for the most part they are private or undiscoverable.

There are definitely still breaches of etiquette though, e.g. people frequently tagging a whole channel when they have a support question, even though it contains hundreds of people.

Again, this just isn't true. Where are you getting your information from?

Feeding the world is technically easy, there is more than enough space for growing crops. The only reason that it's not done is the desire to eat meat and the lack of any real will to do it.

What would make it interesting? Most of the animal mass on earth is livestock for human consumption. More animals are reared to replace the ones that are slaughtered.

It might be interesting for wild fish, but I'm not sure if there are accurate numbers for the wild populations remaining.

Is it really beneficial to use a deck created by someone else? I thought part of the learning process is really engaging with the cards - by writing them, thinking about them, and making mental associations with things you already know.

I'm a big fan of rebasing to keep the commit history clean and as a form of self-discipline when coding to make sure I'm grouping the changes atomically.

I will try to give Jujutsu a go based on your recommendation!

Fortunately the impact to us was quite small, but it's definitely left a sour taste in my mouth as far as azure functions go.

The whole story regarding organizing the code, breaking changes between versions, confusing plans, different styles of configuration between that and aspnet web apis, trying to configure individual functions in the same app without affecting others, etc. is not good!

There’s a nice bug with azure functions where it reports the environment it’s running in as “development” when it should be “production”, which means the app uses the wrong settings.

Nothing in the documentation to mention this, you just need to deploy and learn from your mistakes!

At a previous company I used slack and really liked it. At this new company I joined recently they use Teams and it felt like a ghost town. Nobody online and nobody communicating in public.

The reason is that it’s impossible with the desktop app to browse channels that you’re not a member of, whereas on mobile you can! When I mentioned it to my colleagues they were shocked. This whole time they could have been communicating in other channels and they had no idea they existed. I have no idea if this is a bug, or some kind of admin setting.

There are plenty of other issues with DevOps too. You have to buy in to the whole Microsoft package apparently, and none of the parts are best in class.
