Why can I still not debug & hot reload a hosted blazor webassembly project with @aspire.dev - I don't even care about service discovery at the moment. Even some OSS help doesn't seem to help. Anyone have a working solution? #dotnet

Depends on the day. Being in your 40s, it depends if your brain is in python or .NET world. If its a "python day", the answer is never good

Get some compressed air and blow it out. It's probably dirty. All keyboards get disgusting. If you think it is just the key cap, steal one from another spot on your keyboard & see if it works properly. I just use these times as an excuse to get a new toy though honestly!
