It is compiled to bye code. Just to be clear transpiling is completely different. It is also not interpreted.

But ahead of time compilation is available now. So you can compile straight machine code.

The newer tiered JIT can actually give better performance than a traditional compiler as well.

Overall C# is an awesome language. If performance is absolutely critical you can use raw pointers and manual memory management, but obviously you lose safety then.

The thing with rust is that it is awesome. It does exactly what it promises and everyone keeps going on about.

If you want to talk cult talk to c developers. They are so indoctrinated. They say things like "undefined behaviour is fine you just have to code around it" "it's great there's almost no surface area to the standard lib as you can now trust your fellow developers to perfectly write all constructs" "yeah it causes uncountable security vulnerabilities (even when written by it's foremost experts) but that's unskilled developers and not a language problem"

At the end of the day if they can afford it and don't want to change you've got to ask yourself if it really matters?

I know it's silly to pay over the odds for something but it's up to them really.

Yeah that sounds like depression to me mate.

A lot of people think it's about feeling sad. But often it's about feeling numb, sucking the joy out of everything and focusing on negatives instead of positives.

I would talk to your doctor. Therapy has also been super helpful for me.

It's not a buzz word. It's the correct term.

It's when you are given 0 days notice because it's already being exploited when you find out about it.

100% and if it's a website I'll likely lose a few hours digging around to see how it's done.

I would argue 911 is for emergencies that 100% need to be dealt with immediately.

This feels like calling it in and letting them decide priority is better. It could be anything.

I love using ai to assist with programming.

I often use it for boring stuff like mass refactoring or generating regex or SQL.

I wouldn't use it to write big chunks of code, more to figure out how to do things.

It's like an interactive docs that I can ask follow up questions to.

There's no need to carry your cards if you already have your phone.

Also, unlike your wallet, if you lose it you can track it.

Sounds like bliss tbh

Not really. They have massive breakthroughs that increase capacity and charging hugely.

People just seem to expect some world changing development constantly.
