    #171 Andy Gocke, .NET Ahead of Time Compilation, Part 1

    Summary

    Andy Gocke, lead of the native AOT and app model team at Microsoft talks about ahead-of-time compilation (AOT) in .NET.

    Details

    Who he is, what he does. Quick overview of ahead-of-time compilation (AOT); finding your code. Traditional compilation, interpreter vs compiler, translation from source to target languages. Operating systems, intermediate language (IL). There's always an interpreter. Just-in-time compilation (JIT); Java ran on multiple OSes, but .NET was Windows only; .NET ran on multiple architectures. Ready-to-run (R2R) and trimming. Tiered compilation, variable performance. R2R mixes precompiled and IL, native AOT only has precompiled. Trimming - getting rid of unneeded things, trouble with plugins and reflection; static analysis - don't ignore warnings. Why AOT was built, where it is a good fit. How much work it was; Core RT, low adoption, but good feedback. Good and bad use cases for AOT. For .NET 7 console apps and libraries, or if you don't get trim warnings; a single trim warning is too many. AOT and non-AOT OSS NuGet packages. .NET 8 support for ASP.NET. JIT and IL will not go away. AWS Lambda functions and AOT, exclusions, problems that might occur; trimmable all the way down. Getting started with AOT. Can't turn off trimming. Future of AOT.

    #170 Tanya Janca, Building Security Into Software

    Summary

    Tanya Janca talks about fixing your developer process so that security is part of the life cycle.

    Details

    Who she is, what she does. Becoming a penetration tester. Being a developer advocated. Adding security at the end of the software development life cycle; people wish there was a silver bullet for security. "We're secure, we don't need to test our security". Security should start at the project kickoff. Who owns security, the devs or the security team; getting authority and responsibility. Choosing what to fix; likelihood, potential losses, cost. Security stories during development iterations. Security gets in the way. Feature switches to turn off security in dev environments. Negotiating about what to fix; working around the process. Should security programming be a specialty. Don't build a tool if you can buy it. Copy pasting your way into trouble; Stack Overflow has a security section now; team to build core security tools. Buying services for authentication/authorization. Communicating with other applications. Why no HTTPS. Why encryption at rest when data is in the cloud. Security testing - static analysis, dependencies vulnerabilities, dynamic analysis. Security tools.

    Summary

    Mads Torgersen, lead designer of C# at Microsoft, talks to me about the recent release of C# 11.

    Details

    Who he is, what he does. Features released throughout the year; what happened to parameter null checking; language decision is forever, final decision rests with Mads. C# will keep evolving, adding new features but keeping the language familiar; maintaining backward compatibility. .NET Framework does not hinder C#'s evolution. Generic math library. List patterns. Raw string literals and working with JSON; community contributions. Required members.

    #165 Mads Torgersen, ADHD

    Summary

    Mads Torgersen and I chat about his recent diagnosis with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and how it has changed his life for the better.

    Details

    Why we are making this podcast. The diagnosis; his symptoms. Hard time focusing + stress and fear, low self esteem, fear of what others think; good emotional intelligence. Biological disorder. Diagnostic process. Looking back at his childhood through the lens of ADHD, new perspective on old events, better understanding of paths/decisions. Conscious forgetfulness. Baking bread, (fast and) slow; long process, sticking to the recipe helps. Other superpowers. Handling stress, mutually beneficial delegation. Effect on relationships, people pleaser, allowing people to walk over him. Imposter syndrome, not belonging to the group, too busy being distracted. Hard to know what's going on with a person from the outside, extra effort to do things that require attention, biking uphill all the time. The Mads wiggle/explanation dance, the brain/body needs activity; staying still in schools. Treatment, changing habits, learning about AD/HD; stimulant medication, biking on flat ground, better focus, less anxiety, no side effects; needs to consciously take breaks; ADHD in the morning and taking the pill. Nonmedical routes, meditation, relaxing, diet. Talking publicly, sharing with others. Genetics and looking back on family history; understanding the past. Getting a diagnosis can help you get a good life; some resources (links below). What's next for Mads. Be open to people's differences.

    #164 Jared Parsons, The C# Compiler, Part 2

    Summary

    Jared Parsons, C# compiler lead at Microsoft continues talking about the C# compiler.

    Details

    Many ways of doing the same thing, evolving language, succinct code. Null parameter checking, listening customer feedback; preview features. String literals, JSON interpolation. Backward compatibility hindering the language; better ways of releasing .NET and C#; breaking compatibility; adding Records. No tiny changes to overload resolution. What it would take to make major break in compatibility; removing old APIs while maintaining binary compatibility. Yearly cadence; much better for features and bugs but not everything can be done in a year. The move to open source - better processes, better docs, community PRs, more time reviewing code; dealing with abuse; more direct contact with customers.
