I've been playing with Github Copilot, and it kept telling me that my constructors were wrong. I finally got it to say that the reason they are wrong was because C# doesn't support primary constructors, a feature which was introduced to classes in C# 12 (2023)...

In related news my free trial is nearly up 😅

Just spent far too long trying to figure out why my tests, which use Guid.CreateVersion7, were randomly failing, before realising that it was because the timestamp granularity of GUIDv7 is down to the millisecond, not nanosecond.

Thankfully, I don't anticipate this affecting anything other than tests, so a quick helper method to bulk generate sequential GUIDs by using faked time offsets has done the trick.

I really like the way that primary constructors in C# reduce the verbosity of trivial initialisation (e.g. for DI), but I'm finding that it reduces code readability for me. I'm guessing this is just because of familiarity with traditional constructors, all the way back to C++, so I'm hoping that I get used to it soon.

A mon tour de demander à Mastodon de faire sa magie !
Je suis désormais à la recherche d'une nouvelle opportunité en tant que #dev ou #architecte :dotnet: .
J'ai une quinzaine d'années d'XP sur des architectures #microservices
Je suis sympa et je ne mords pas.
Dispo à partir de la mi-Avril, j'ai la tête bien faite et vous n'aurez pas besoin de me tenir la main bien longtemps.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter en privé et booster si possible

I am creating a #ActivityPub minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using #dotnet and leveraging the #Fediverse

I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.

ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.

I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in #mastodon but they are not notes or articles. If you want to learn more, follow me, I will be sharing the progress here. Or follow the github project here: github.com/tryvocalcat/activit

Who wants a badge of early adopter?
