There was an old ruler called Ozzy
Who built a big statue just 'cos he
Thought he would never
Not be known for ever
And now it's two legs in a cozzy
Oh I wish I’d looked after me works
And not left me legs buried in dirt
Look on them there
And ye mighty, despair
Oh I wish I’d looked after me works

We are getting closer to the release of Resharper 2025.3 , so I ran some performance tests to see how much we improved compared to 2025.2.

For this iteration, I focused my effort mainly on the huge Datadog.Trace solution, available on the DataDog/dd-trace-dotnet repository.

Results below 👇

YouTube's algorithm recommended me James Hoffman videos. He's an expert in the classic British way being both hugely knowledgeable and mildly quirky. I'm not a big coffee drinker though, so my main takeaway has been to incorporate pour over techniques into making Pot Noodles.

“I think it's AI when it actually knows what it's talking about, Bob. Until then it's just sparkling ML”
Not the point of the thread, but I’m here for it.
"Copy of WIRED magazine, please, Bob."

"It's the AI issue, isn't it? What do you think about all that?"

"I think it's AI when it actually knows what it's talking about, Bob. Until then it's just sparkling ML. Did you know that wind power reduced our energy bills by £100m?"

"Well, that's nice!"
Wow. This is nuts. I love it!
It takes 36 to 48 hours for a soccer stadium to get ready for football. WSJ went inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see the hidden engineering. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4hDKB52
Oh, so you’re a fan of the Dodgers now?
Get over to Reddit and post the issues you need fixed! Upvote the other comments. While we’ve had some great responses, I was expecting more feedback. You’ve got until the end of Wednesday!
What should Rider 2026.1 fix? I'm asking for a bit of community upvoting to know what issues you're most eager to get in to Rider 2026.1, which we're in the process of planning. How else were you planning on spending a wet Friday afternoon?

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.
Yep, still giving it everything. New album too!
Well Apple photos is very smart. A little too smart. It recognises that this is a gig photo, and knows it’s at the O2 Institute and can therefore work out who this is! Sadly, it thinks it’s the O2 Institute 3, and so thinks this is Amanda McCoy. Close, but no cigar (this is Pop Will Eat Itself)
