Visual Studio 2019–Editorconfig UI

As I read more code than I write, code consistenty and readability are really important for me. That is why I like the .editorconfig and one of the reasons why I blogged about it before:

Although I really like EditorConfig files, configuring them is not that easy. If you agree then I have great news for you! Starting from Visual Studio 16.10 an EditorConfig designer was added that allows you to easily view and configure your code analysis preferences.

Check that you have at least version 16.10 of Visual Studio
Open the solution containing the editorconfig file
Click on the .editorconfig file. The designer is loaded:

The great thing is that if you are looking for a specific setting, you no longer have to open up the documentation but that you can easily search using the provided UI.

Remark: If you still want to edit the file directly in the text view, you still can by pressing F7.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers

As a developer there are a lot of small tasks you need to do as part of your coding, debugging and testing activities. DevToys is an offline windows app that tries to help you with these tasks. Instead of using different websites you get a fully offline experience offering help for a large list of tasks. Many tools are available. Here is the current list: Converters JSON <> YAML Timestamp Number Base Cron Parser Encoders / Decoders HTML URL Base64 Text & Image GZip JWT Decoder Formatters JSON SQL XML Generators Hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) UUID 1 and 4 Lorem Ipsum Checksum Text Escape / Unescape Inspector & Case Converter Regex Tester Text Comparer XML Validator Markdown Preview Graphic Color B
