Last week we were only one step ahead of going in production mode with the angular web app i coded a half year long. Sounds good right?
Yeah this morning my boss said in the dev Meeting, blazer is now in preview mode, let's do it with this tech, so our full stack is in c#...
He is not a web dev. He want to step back from coding in the near future, but yeah let's use fucking Blazer 😥
For the rest of the day, i started with a Blazer Test Project.. great start into the short week.
How about your start?

Why would he decide such things when he is NOT a web developer? Plus as a lead/manager, won't he consider the effort required in learning Blazer (I don't known what it is), and the (6-month) time lost in doing that Angular app?

@asgs thank you! That are exactlly my thoughts.
Sometimes he acts like this and i have to prove it, that my solution is the better one.

Blazer is a new framework, where you can write frontends in c# with razor templates and it compiles to web assembly.
I'm a fan of declarative UI code like angular or wpf.
Blazer feels and looka like old jsp sites of something similar 😥

Ugh. Why is the man in charge of decisions usually the least competent to make 'em?

My start is better, heh. I'm finally starting to put together a feature that has taken ages because of a horror show of a codebase. After a full week of trying to understand this thing that has such a limited scope but is soooo messy and complex I've given up and take the approach of just modifying just the parts that need to change and hope things just work. It seems like it. I've pinpointed the heart of the beast, it seems.

We initially agreed that we should rewrite this simple feature from scratch but it has embedded itself in the codebase and we can't make sense of it. It could have been done in a couple of days if it wasn't totally fucked. Yeah, so I'm really relieved that I can see the light in the tunnel.

... I hope I didn't jinx it.

Anyways, I hope your boss will be replaced by AI soon.

Wow...what the fuck?!
How can someone replace a battle testet framework like Angular with a WebAssembly experiment like Blazor (not Blazer btw)?
Don't get me wrong... I like the idea behind Blazor but it's still far away from being production ready.

@ihatecomputers oh codebase sounds similar to our codebase in the big old (but most selling) product.. feel you

@thoxx i told him the same... Hope i can find something in the test project to prove it's a bad idea.
Wish me luck😥
