I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
I used to be a C#/ASP.NET dev but am a little out of the loop these days. For .NET core, do you recommend that devs use VS Code or is it preferable to go with the full blown Visual Studio?
I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Personally, I’m more comfortable with VS Code (as a web dev) and I find the .NET Core/ASP.NET Core experience to be really good. That said, Visual Studio IDE is hands down the premier tool for C# development. For example, my team also builds IntelliCode, and it’s support for C# is currently exclusive to Visual Studio. So I’d recommend Visual Studio if you were looking to have the most productive/rich dev experience for .NET.

Hands down I've never seen anything come close to Visual Studio in terms of full-blown IDE.
Me neither! Though I’m obviously a little biased 🤗
