Don't use a design pattern just for the sake of it. As @DavidBrowne-Microsoft noted, EF is a framework that follows the repository pattern (among others). If you follow a pattern without knowing why, you'll get it wrong and you'll also lose a primary benefit of design patterns: they are well known idioms that other programmers will recognize. — Aluan Haddad 51 secs ago

i=i++ + i++ + i++; -- I'm curious as to why so many questions that look similar to this one gets asked. Are people (usually new programmers) actually writing code like this? Or was this question given to you by a teacher (in this case, the teacher is wasting your time, IMO). — PaulMcKenzie 37 secs ago

Dear Admin, thank you to categorize NetSh as something, not needed by programmers, when analysing connection problems of their applications. To answer my own question – there are different implementations of NetSh, in Windows 11 (like my workstation) a filter like IPv4.Address=!(1.2.3.4,1.2.3.5) would work, on the "2019 standard server" I should write my own filter scenario and explicitly point to them. — rainulf 52 secs ago

As an aside, this was closed for not being on-topic, i.e. “… or software tools primarily used by programmers.” If Xcode isn’t a programmer’s tool, I don't know what is. (I’m not saying this is a great question, but just that it isn’t off-topic.) People reflexively close questions as off-topic because they aren’t about programming algorithms, but programmer tool questions absolutely are on-topic. — Rob 27 secs ago
