> However on the collector side you end up having to do the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder to make your own collector (or just kinda ride the wave and hope it works out). While cool that this exists, it's a lot of scope to ask a team to take on.

This is just plain wrong, binaries of the collector are shipped which are available to use straight away. You can use the builder if you want to create your own version with a selected set of components but it is no way a hard requirement.

That argument doesn't really hold up much water

- Typescript is created by Microsoft (This doesn't stop many start-ups from choosing it)

- Hot reload is for a small segment of the C# userbase and that article is now years old.

FWIW I've been a dotnet/c# dev using MacOs/Jetbrains rider for 6 years now.

C# != Visual Studio.

The maximum daily cap for an adult from zone 1 - 9 is around £21. It will categorically not be cheaper than using a car to use TFL transport within London. I think you may be confusing TFL services with national rail services.

I wish Honeycomb employees would spend some time on improving their product in a tangible way instead of writing blog posts. I've had the missfortune of using Honeycomb at work and for any systems that interact with more than a couple of services it's simply unusable. I don't get why there's all the hype around the company?

I'd guess that it would require a new version of VS. To use .NET core 3.x you have to have VS2019, that is unless you're using Rider.

I'm skeptical of Brexit being the reason that N26 is withdrawing from the UK. They started operation in the uk in October 2018, over 2 years after the referendum result and 6 months before the UK was meant to leave until the date got pushed back.

Theres a nuget & terminal tab across the bottom bar which combined offer the same functionality as the nuget package manager console.

I've recently switched to Rider full time from VS, so far it's been a really good experience & has fixed the main issues that I was experiencing with VS.

I've found it quite problematic to reliably connect to private NuGet feeds though which is a bit of a pain.
