Merge Conflict 83: Fear of Breaking the World Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

We have way too many open source projects and NuGet libraries which are used by thousands of developers, which is awesome, but means we get really scared when we change anything! We discuss when and how we decide when to push that release out. Frank discusses the drama behind SQLite-net and the most recent 1.5 update and James discusses his trials and tribulation with the Geolcoator plugin.

Merge Conflict 81: It Takes Two to Debug Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

When something goes wrong, it is time to debug! Or maybe first we should write logs? Maybe we should use the intermediate window? Or perhaps write a unit test? We discuss our pro tips for debugging when something goes wrong.

We also take a quick detour and talk about the cute Mini-Husky that James is dog sitting!
