What’s your stack bro?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
C# for anything worth a damn. I wrote my first .NET 8 Windows Service the other day for a quick and dirty work project. Actually really cool stuff, event-based tailing of the Windows Event Log to orchestrate API changes when some antiquated Windows clustering service performs a role move. They changed the way services work with .NET vs .NET Framework so took a bit of learning to get it going but I like the new pattern more as you can use dependency injection.

OP might think I'm sucking on Bill Gates' cock by using C#, but the reality is it's a fast and powerful language with tonnes of features that only occasionally makes me super mad. It's not a heavily Windows-coupled language anymore, it's multiplatform out of the box and you have to explicitly break that by targeting *-windows.

I also write a lot of PowerShell scripts. PS has a lot of idiotic design decisions but it's good if you have to hack some shit together or you're working with something where PS is a first-class citizen (like AD, Exchange, etc.). If you set strict mode and can remember a few gotchas then you'll be fine.

Python and Bash scripts for the Linux shit at work, mainly monitoring and automation stuff. While I could use PowerShell, the scripts I write have to work on some extremely old Linux servers so it's not really usable. I've been tempted to try Go but my colleagues aren't programmers so it'd be unmaintainable.

For frontend it's just Bootstrap + jQuery. My skills there are frozen in time somewhere around 2015 as that's the last time I gave a shit about frontend dev.
 
I'm not very talented but this is the best one I can do.
