Paint isn't going anywhere.

Was ~$19 AUD ($14 USD)

You might have a nix shell script, using a bunch of traditional GNU tools which does some "stuff" - you can now consolidate that workload onto a Windows Server.

Allowing it to evolve on it's own, rather than being C#'s ugly little brother.

(We're based out of Sydney Australia - not SF).

Overall, it was a positive experience and I think even with the current warts (in particular around tooling), it's a nicer stack than MVC5.

I blogged about some things we learned here: https://chad.tolkien.id.au/lessons-learnt-going-into-product...

All of these issues have been resolved with firmware updates by about 3 months after launch - reliability has been rock solid from then on out. Can't recommend it enough.

Chrome on IOS is really Safari under the covers.

You can basically do the same thing with Powershell. I don't know of a 'built-in' module to handle XLS->CSV conversion, so you need to bring one in:

  Install-Module ImportExcel

  ls *.xlsx -r | %{ Import-excel $_ } | ? { $_.Name -eq "Miller" } | sort

There's another option however, where you can leverage Excel itself (granted, this is likely to be a Windows only approach):

  $excel = New-Object -com excel.application

> In the coming weeks, a more stable release candidate will be coming out, with the final product landing not too far after.

That "thing" isn't officially released yet, hence the hoops.

In reality, no one is using `get-childitem` instead of `ls` or `dir` (both of which are simply aliases for `get-childitem`).

If you want to step into the source code of other projects however, I don't think that scenario is handled yet. Perhaps a feature to be added to NuGet.
