It’s really just a small set of fixes and refinements over .NET Core 3.0, which we released just over two months ago. Stick them with the pointy version
Three years of support! Hurrah, better develop something fast so it can be replaced soon.

Seems to me they've been small fix/refining it for four years...
I heard EOL for .Net Core was January 2021, but only because that's when they plan to roll out the new .Net Core 4.0 icon.

And shorter lifespans - 3 years for a "LTS"? Yeeesh.
Jan 2021 sounds about right. They had scheduled the merger of .NET Core and .NET Framework (.NET Corework?) for Nov 2020[^], but your date is probably more accurate).

Yeah. For most of the people who care about LTS that's short enough that they'll probably stay on 4.x until it's EOL and then rewrite onto a non-MS stack.

If only they actually were merging them, instead of just skipping core 4.0, and then deleting the "core" branding from .net core. While they might have some rough edges like the winform builder working fully instead of being a minimally working preview; they're not actually merging anything. All the legacy features in .net Framework 4.x that aren't in .Net Core 3 won't be in .net Core 5; so if you can't upgrade now without a major rewrite today you won't be able to upgrade in 2 years without a major rewrite.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Did I miss a memo?
When did half of these become bad habits?
Non-functional code, seriously?
None of the main programming languages we use today are purely functional so it wouldn't be very crazy if we didn't write them functional.
We can't really do without old-fashioned loops... I mean, it's not like we're all doing functional programming!
Copy-pasting is only half our jobs and it's not wrong in itself, but do it with care.
For number #5 the author explains why this isn't necessarily a bad thing himself.

Bad programming habit No. 1: Copying
Bad programming habit No. 7: Writing your own data structures
One of the standard rules is that a programmer should never write code for storing data after completing the data structures course in their sophomore year. Someone else has already written all of the data structures we’ll ever need... Ummm... if I shouldn't copy code and I shouldn't write my own data structures, what am I to do?
Last time I checked no flavor of SQL has ever come equipped with every structure I would ever need.
Maybe I should use some ORM like Entity Framework create the SQL structures... but wouldn't that be a tool which is essentially just automating the copy process?
