Guess which of the highlighted breakpoints @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social hits first in Debug configuration? That's right, none of them. It just point-blank refuses to stop at breakpoints. Making the whole platform next to useless. Thanks @jetbrains.com for continually making Rider worse and worse 😡

I heard a knobhead in the pub saying that maybe he's imagining it, but he feels as if he's in a 70s horror film because of the way people stand and glare at his TESLA when he drives it through the village. He's not imagining it. We've got a WhatsApp group.

Today I sold the company I co-founded 20 years ago. I wrote the first line of code that was our primary product, Meddbase, and built the product and team as CTO. The acquisition was primarily for our tech, which also feels really good!
