Tools of the trade

This area is all about the tools I am currently using to design, code and write this blog.

Visual Studio Code - A lightweight, free and very diverse alternative to the classic Visual Studio. Of course it all depends on what is your use of Visual Studio.
Draw.io - A flowchart maker and online diagram software. You can either use it online and save diagrams to your drive or download the Chrome extension and use it locally. Either way it is way easier than MS Visio (and free)

GitHub gists - For code highlighting in this blog I am using this very handy tool from GitHub.

    On positions, the BLS reports a deficiency of 5.4 million US producing position from 1990 to 2015, a 30% drop. No other significant work classification lost positions. Four states, in the "Belt" locale, dropped 1.3 million positions by and large. OKX referral code

NUnit Console Runner and NLog extension logging for your tests

Image
Have you experienced the frustration of tests running perfectly well on your local machine and then failing in CI? This all too familiar "It worked on my machine" comes to mind. You set off to investigate and after a while you realize you are too far into the rabbit hole between code and logs in Kibana and this investigation is getting you nowhere. Wouldn't it be nice if you could hijack the logger and print the logs in the test runner's console? TL;DR NLog can be extended easily and NUnit  Console Runner does not play well with simple console logs.   Photo by  Kaboompics .com  from  Pexels Enter Console logging In .Net in general it is not advisable to log to console in a multi-threaded environment, because the console is not thread safe. While logging simple strings may not cause any problems logging strings with interpolated variables may very well be sub optimal to say the least. Should you use any such debugging technique you are better off with a thread safe f

Tests code coverage in Visual Studio Code with C# and .Net Core

Image
While writing tests for you code goes without saying, there is much to be said about code coverage of tests. How much of your code is actually covered by these tens of tests you just wrote? If you work in a TDD approach most probably you don't have such "mundane" questions. Of course you code is 100% covered. You did make sure every test failed before you added that line in your code to make it pass... and that conditional statement... or did you? While purists would argue there is no chance of no coverage I beg to differ. Let alone if you write your tests after the code is written... After such and such years and experience in the industry when we are nearing deadlines some things are thrown out the window. They shouldn't but they are. TL;DR tools help with coverage. In this case .Net Core Test Explorer with coverlet and Coverage Gutters . Photo by  Startup Stock Photos  from  Pexels Coverlet to the rescue As I blogged a while ago I have made myself a warm

Applying an internal forums system in the company culture - thoughts

Image
Long gone are the days where, as children, we used to tie a string to two boxes and shout messages at each other. Communication for some of us has changed from phones with a round dial to smartphones in a decade. Having worked in several places with a mobile based solution for groups of teams and dev departments forum/chat system as well as  a couple of places with an internal forum/social media system in place, I have seen more often than not that the adoption rate of such a system is diverse. Some like it, some not and some participate on a whim. And in some places it is obligatory. However what happens when you find yourself accustomed to such a system and arrive at a place where there was none, and one is being applied. How does an organization make the shift from coffee machine pow wows to an internal forum/social/chat board. TL;DR Success of such a forum depends on... oh quite a few factors It is not the medium, it is the content This is not a post on the different solu
