Oh no, not just my build server, Microsofts build server… Everyones’ Azure build server - (if you’re building on windows)
Imagine your compiler performing a license check.
There are companies selling a relabeled GCC with the O flags behind the license check.
Why are text editors cloud services now?
I use vim btw
Peak editing with vim/neovim
I don’t get the appeal of azure because of things like this.
annoying how much they try to push it
The company I work for loves Azure. If it’s not available as an Azure service it won’t be used (except for uptime kuma). Some time ago there was a global Azure outage and we could do literally nothing. All tasks and code were on Azure Devops and all communication went through Teams and Outlook.
The webhook integration has also recently been removed from Teams so uptime kuma also didn’t work for like a week until it was fixed by using Azure’s automation service.

What Clive Barker movie do you live in?
Moving to the cloud is a business decision not a technical one.
Csuite sees us spending Capex 200K on a server or 2 and several thousand opex per year to maintain it.
Cloud takes that 200K Capex and move it to Opex with significant markup markup.
From a technical pov we st it as a waste but business will business itself into cost overruns
But they promised we could save a ton of money with their monitoring dashboards we won’t look at until suddenly we get a bill that is 5x what they promised!
Lifting and shifting an existing monolithic architecture to the cloud with zero modernization changes will result in a higher cost than leaving it in a data center.
Converting the application to use as much serverless and microservice-based technology as possible is where the cloud ROI is.
For a lot of things, that means pretty much re-architecting and re-coding an entire application / system pretty much from scratch.
As a sysadmin, fuck certificates. They are the bane of my existence. I vote we abolish certs and go Irish honor system!
How is the Irish honor system different than a regular honor system?
certificates fucking destroy everything in my work for an hour once every year because of expiry
Certs have existed a long time, are never implemented correctly, and the expiration cycle that is supposed to bolster security just causes pain as a result.
Certs should just be redesigned to have a kill switch. CRLs were supposed to handle that, but are rarely implemented or implemented correctly.
Certs are also used in so many places where they may not be suited to the task, but because they exist, they’ve become the de-facto standard.
A temporal expiration system seems flawed from the beginning anyway. What, you don’t trust your system anymore just because time has passed? Time is always passing. Are we all secretly racist against clocks now?
You are supposed to be tracking when they expire and then renew/replace them before they expire.

I’ve been told that, as well, but I’m not sure I see it… Seems like a lot of effort… (This is sarcasm. Or is it just too much honesty?)
If I have a nickel for everytime someone said “The cloud never goes down”.
I’d have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working 🤑.
I didn’t even know VS Code was something you could pay for.Also, are you using Discord bots for work?Edit: Nope and nope.
As is tradition with MS and their complicated naming policies Visual Studio is not VS Code.
Also, VS Code is mid, not even working correctly and definitely not OOB on Linux in my experience, and VS just does not support Linux at all. And is shit anyway.
I can only recommend ZED
EDIT: no love for ZED?
Hmmm, the front page looks like they’re trying to sell a LLM code generator with additional QOL to businesses, and not a developer focused IDE or extensible text editor.
Definitely not something that catches my interest as a developer. Though, I haven’t tried it, so these are just initial impressions from reading their landing page.
Edit: also, why down vote the above? It appears perfectly relevant to the discussion. If you disagree, why not make a comment about it instead?
It’s really good and open source. I used sublime & atom before and it’s pretty much the same experience.
Is it also because it’s made for mac first?
VS’s built-in .NET debugger is top tier, though. Especially the ability to edit code while it is running.
If you want twenty minutes of rage-filled ranting, ask me about vscode-server sometime.
How much would that be in Libraries Of Congress if written down?
Isn’t that an IDE? Why would a build server need that? Sigh.
For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.
Can be installed standalone but it’s typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it’s better to include the entire kitchen.
For C, I use Makefiles. The Microsoft ecosystem sounds like a nightmare.
They started at Java’s build system and set a course for Hell.
