  • I think it simplifies setup because you only have to set the SDK, not include runner dependencies? I think it’s also more performant and may have different console output? (I think I read that before, but not sure anymore.)

    At work I migrated all unit test projects to the new system. IIRC mainly because it’s a FOSS solution and forward-facing, and a simplification of dependency/project setup.

    I can’t give you anything concrete though. In the MS blog post they label it an alternative. You’re fine to stick with VSTest for now, without significant downsides.



  • Codeberg published a blog post yesterday. They suspect (or know?) that it’s a broadened attack because Codeberg hosts liberal and human projects.

    In the past days, several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights on Codeberg have been subject to hate attacks, such as massive spam of abusive messages in their issue trackers. We have been monitoring the situation closely and have tried to clean up the content as quickly as possible.

    Often, content remained available only for a few and up to 30 minutes. Due to constrained personal capacities, some rare cases have remained online for longer. We appreciate all your reports to abuse@codeberg.org that help us identify abuse quickly.

    On 12 February 2025, an abuser has escalated the attacks to a next level. Instead of targetting individual projects, they have started to create abusive content and mentioned Codeberg users in chunks of 100 each.

  • I mainly work with C#, where I use Visual Studio. I think I mainly changed bindings for expand selection, and go to definition, declaration, implementation (ALT+A/+S/+D). All other bindings work out for me.

    Cursor and selection “jumping” with CTRL and SHIFT, and using multiple cursors is a regular occurrence for me. I largely keep using keyboard, but for navigating I do often switch to or combine it with mouse.

    When it’s not C#, it’s often VS Code, or otherwise Notepad++ for non-IDE simple editing. For even simpler quick edits I also use Double Commanders integrated text editor.

    I use TortoiseGit, and its diff editor. I sometimes make changes there too. I also occasionally use KDiff or Winmerge.


    I think whether it’s worth to learn a new one should be determined by 1. what are your pain points/shortcomings, 2. what are the promises or your hopes, and 3. testing it out.

    If you explore a promise and quickly find it not useful to you, it may be easy and simple to dismiss a switch without investing more.








  • "" to '' … There is nothing to highlight for SemanticDiff.

    Really? I definitely want to see that. I want to be deliberate about my code. I am not only targeting compiled code. I am also targeting developers through maintainable code.


    I’m surprised they did not list an alternative that would be my preference: Highlight the entire string. The f prefix changes the entire text value type. I would like the `f´ to be highlighted strongly, and string it changes the interpretation of weakly, and the placeholder variable more strongly again.
