This link came in an email from Microsoft, Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2 is now available | The Visual Studio Blog[^].
VS 2019 is still in preview!  Why are some of you installing an unreleased/unfinished product and then complaining that it doesn't work right? Silly goofs.
I've been using VS2017 for a year now and have had 0 issues.

Wait for the VS2019 remastered version? 
|
|
|
|
|
now that's a creative idea!

|
|
Does that mean something getting built from the Master branch?

Er, yes, so all the UX "features" that we're complaining about will be even worse, by the time of release.

I guess hold onto the preview version then.

VS2010 is still the best.

I remember the complaints when 2010 came out. Worst release ever. Which was supplanted by 2012. Then 2013. Then 2015. Then 2017.
Seeing any pattern yet?

|

Sooo... You're agreeing with me, right?
|
|
|
|

If we're going from 2010 to today, then yes.
If we're including any prior release, then...no? 
All I'm saying is that with each new release, people complain that this is worse than the version before.
2010 is when they started going WPF (the editor itself, not the library), and I remember people hating it.

Old way - create a single "brand" image in (of all places) Sharepoint. This image has reflection in it it so it looks like the image is sitting on top of a pool of water.
New way - I created two images (because part of the image is the same on all sites within the solution), and used reflection.js to create the reflection on the fly.

Well, I'm glad to see that your career is moving in the right direction!

So now every client has to spend CPU-time and electric power to generate a useless reflection that you could have just saved as part of the image?
I bet the ROI on this one will be huuge

I was actually thinking about that - the images in question are in the page header, so every time the page refreshes, it has to do that. They're small, so the time is negligible in the grand scheme of things, but still, I suppose it's best not to blow too hard at the delicate house of cards that is a MVC web site...

Aight, different approach; you cost money. What money was earned by having this new "feature"?
Or are we simply doing a Telerik here?

Work was done on my own time, no no money was earned or expended in the process.
However, it's nice to know there's a way to do it without relying on the graphic arts skills of some random programmer.

Today's phase one of a roll out that will affect pretty much everyone in the company. As it turns out, much of what I does is of that nature and I should be used to it.
Well - lots of years of experience - I can outsmart the users at almost every turn. Tested the hell out of it. Tweaked it. All the usual.
Still - it prevents that strange dichotomy of stress and elation.

This is the easy part - about 75 of 450 users clicked a link (gently shoved put in their face, with explanation and instructions) on the main portal and "registered". Tuesday, so far, will likely be the big day when it's not an option and all authentication passes through the new route.
User's are authenticated on every page (allows access even via a bookmark) - and the code spans about eight years of development. It's mostly following the same few patterns and is "plug-and-play", enabled by simply replacing the contents of one header file. There are, however, possibly some outliers. I logged in, way before anyone awoke, yesterday, as a regular user on a non-Dev system just like theirs and hit most things - tweaked a few. I even create values no longer of any real use so they're not missed in the older pages and put that tiny text of undefined symbol on their screens.
But it's a bit drawn out awaiting the zap. It could easily be undone by simply replacing the file with the original - but I don't have any system wide faux-pas' on amongst my scars.
As I said, it's phase one. Still active - until a user registers they'll see that instruction screen whenever they open the portal. Come Tuesday (I expect), it's go-live. I'm sure I missed something, somewhere. I'm not worrying about the a few obscure crumbs to clean up - just an exploding telephone.

It sounds like you're well-prepared, and even NASA with their budget to triple-check everything see a rocket explode now and then.
Good luck, wish you a boring tuesday
