  • Kind of will. There are already templates on demand for things like generating unit tests as you code. They’re pretty robust already, and have aside from a few things (or edge cases), I don’t have to do much code refactoring or fixing them.

    They already save me several hours a week from manually setting up full ones. Haven’t delved into other stuff they can do, but I’m sure it would only be more useful with time.

    I can very easily see companies looking at the time save and thinking “we can downsize”.


  • If you mean Visual Studio IDE (not VS Code), it’s actually the most robust fully featured IDE I’ve used. Using other IDEs, including other frameworks or languages, don’t come as close.

    Easy management for external packages, easy build and project dependency mappings, easy unit test suites, etc. A lot of extensions work great out of the box (DB integrations, code coverage tools, security/vulnerability tools, benchmark testing, etc.).

    Seeing as a lot of C#/.NET things are open source now, I wish that they would also work on an IDE for Mac and Linux. They’re about to retire the Mac preview VS, which didn’t compare to the Windows counterpart, but still usable.
