Do I know any Blazor experts here?
If I click the "MyComponent" button below, I get an error saying "The render handle is not yet assigned". However, if I first click the "Click me" button, and THEN the "MyComponent" button, it will work as expected.

What books do you recommend for Blazor development, specifically? Beginner or advanced.

Plus, we end up doing more of the things we measure. If you can't measure the productivity gain from going for a walk, nothing will reinforce that behavior.
Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

What's the killer tool for effectively managing GitHub notifications?
I feel like the default UI is really holding back at this point and I'm not the type to do GH notifications over email.
Octobox hasn't done the trick for me either.

I've not met many leaders that could tell the difference between day-to-day code changes and architecturally significant changes.
Companies don’t realize their developers often make decisions without leadership involved (to build their own infrastructure because it’s fun) that then burden the company with supporting such systems indefinitely. At the expense of a simpler more maintainable app.
