Not every developers code in English. We encounter a lot of professional developers who don’t speak English and write all the comments and members names in their native tongues. It is very common in China and Japan for instance. Therefore we can’t assume that spell checker should be in English.

Hi @louve.systems , is your PC in French but VS in English ? Visual Studio relies on Windows spell checker, therefore, it relies on the language installed on your machine. If your PC is in French, that would explain it.

I haven't work on #DevToys in months! These kind of comments encourage me to get into again. However, there's another project I have to finish first. Stay tuned. #uwp #blazor #microsoft #Windows #fluent

Started with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition! My first finished project made with it was a WinForm app that helped tweaking Window XP. I was 13 or 14 years old at that time. 20 years later and I still use Visual Studio (and now contribute to it) daily!

That's true. It opens many more possibilities as it can answer to any question on top of being aware of your sensors. And in the end that's what Alexa, Siri and other will eventually become.

I see ! That's interesting. Maybe I'm too old school (I think I'm younger than you lol), I never got the wish to control lights by voice or ask whether I need sunscreen. 😅

I love these things and at the same time I never picture myself talking to an AI to know the temperature. It feels like opening my thermostat app is faster. Do you have any other use case in mind that an app displaying info can't beat?

Oh I'm just using an "old" device I have for my "pet" project during my holidays away from home. I have 32GB at home. 😅

Étienne Baudoux @velersoftware.bsky.social · 20/12/2024
I've been using Visual Studio on a 4GB device for the past few days for a small .NET Blazor app. It's totally fine. Obviously I won't try a Linux Subsystem or Android emulator, but for a small pet project, 4GB is all you need!

I'm at the Minneapolis airport and wear an old @microsoft.com Intern t-shirt. A teenager politely asked if she I have been an intern and how was my experience, if I liked it, followed up by asking some advice. Always happy to help a student, in particular when asked respectfully. Don't be shy!

It's hard to see your parents aging. 65 y.o and they both forgot when Christmas is and they had to search on internet to remember when it is. Is this an early sign of alzheimer? Hug your parents. Tell them you love them before it's too late.

My team did a fantastic job at addressing this issue that was irritating myself too for over a decade. I started using Visual Studio in 2006, when I was a kid. I'm so thankful to now being able to help making #VisualStudio a better tool everyday as a living.
