C# programming in Linux Mint
Again, none of those probably bother anyone else, so it may be perfect for you, but that was my experience. What I ended up doing was just creating a virtual box of Windows on my Linux machine, installed GitHub desktop and VS2022, and if I need any advanced features like memory profiling, I'll just log in there and do my testing.

C# programming in Linux Mint
I gave Rider a shot with their free trial, since some friends and other people I work with have it, but there were two nitpicks that made me decide against it.
1. I have a pretty basic color theme and while Rider has a much nicer interface for customizing stuff, there are some bugs where certain syntax are colored wrong. These were reported years ago and have had no movement so I doubt they will be fixed soon. TOTALLY an unreasonable nitpick on my part, but it just kept bothering me and kept getting distracted while using it.
2. It costs, which isn't a problem on its own. I switched from Cubase to Reaper a few years ago and happily pay the licensing fee, because it's $60 and you own the version, and has all the features Cubase charged $999 for the ultimate tier version, plus no dongle. As for C# though, Rider is a subscription model, which requires you to purchase the Ultimate tier for stuff you get from VS2022 for free, and even then it still has those graphical bugs, so it just feels like an overall downgrade for me.

✅ Access a runtime Dictionary easier
Okay, I made some progress on it. HashiCorp returns the secrets in a
Dictionary<string, object> or a custom object if provided. The problem I'm on is I can't find any documentation on how to bind that to a configuration. The closest I could come up with is a json stream, by serializing a custom object then passing that in as a memory stream but that seems like a hack.42 replies
