> Allow functions outside of classes

Mads Torgersen did a proposal related to this, it's in the C# Version Planing as version X.X, so maybe in the future we're going to have those capabilities.

There's a problem that maybe is related to this law, but the article haven't said anything about it. The increase of flyer distribution around the city. In the last years basically everywhere you go someone will stop you to give some flyers, paper that usually people will just throw in the streets and increase the pollution.

The problem is that Rider doesn't have some features that are a must-have for me, like Edit and Continue, Immediate Window, Docker-Compose debugger and some others.

Besides that, I love the performance.

Ask HN: Studying DS/Algorithms will turn me in a better Developer?

It is a legit question, I'd finished my degree in 2016, it was a degree more focused in the job market, so I haven't had strong classes about CS fundamentals.I'm working as a backend engineer for about 6 years, currently I'm ok with my salary and have no plans about applying to FAANG companies.- I have some understanding about basic DS like Trees, Stacks, Queues and what are the benefits and...

I don't have much complains about DevOps UX, the only problems that sometimes impact me are the caching/random broken builds.

But Azure Portal UX is another story, the Blade UI is one of the worst things I've ever used, I hate scrolling horizontally, I can't open things in a new tab, it's really frustrating.

Actually nothing, which makes me really frustrated.

I'm just building boring CRUD systems for boring companies. I can use a lot of concepts/buzzwords, like microservices, serverless... But at the end, just CRUD apps.

How can I improve? After 5 years just doing this, I don't feel capable of doing something cool like some of the posts in this thread.

Ask HN: How to find a mentor?

I'm a software developer with around 5 years of experience, I'm working mainly with Microsoft tech stack (backend and cloud).In the last months I'm feeling a lack of motivation, not sure about what to study and how to improve. The people at my company are not really keen about learning new things and improving, those who are, work mainly remotely and aren't really friendly.I started thinking...
