- EF Core works great. We connected it to RDS Postgres in AWS with container instances running on T4g ARM instances.
- Our pipeline used the `dotnet` CLI to do all the builds on our local M1 MacBook Pros and in GitHub Actions on Linux runners. Want to build a .NET codebase? `dotnet build` from the CLI. Want to run it? `dotnet run`. Want to watch for file changes and hot-reload? `dotnet watch`. .NET is really, really streamlined right now. Better than Node at the moment (as a dev that works fullstack and has workloads on .NET and Node).
- Our team used a mix of VS Code and JetBrains Rider. Two devs started on VS Mac, but eventually we all ended up using VSC or Rider on Mac.
- Bloat is pretty minimal; really easy to build a console app or a web API that more or less looks like an Express web app.
Here's a 7 minute video demonstrating building a .NET web API on an M1 Mac and then pushing it into an x64 Alpine Linux container in Google Cloud Run: https://youtu.be/GlnEm7JyvyY

msbuild, entity framework, msal, visual studio and all the jank and bloat that comes with it, all microsoft bullshit which exists right now.
I don't get it.
