@benpartridge.bsky.social very nice high note at the end of the "goodbye Hyundai i10" jingle.
@benpartridge.bsky.social would you or Henry or Mike like a custom scarf? I am knitting a new one as you can see attached. If more than one person would like it then I'd love to hear the conversation over who gets it :)
DDD Rewind. Performance, Profiling and Optimisation. Lachlan Barclay.
Your application may be slow for many different reasons Disk access, database querying, networking, CPU, memory usage, garbage collections, reflection, or the dreaded bad threading code. But which is actually the problem?
Identity your bottlenecks by collecting production stats If you don't monitor the performance of your system, it's going to be difficult to figure out what's actually causing your slowdowns. If you haven't set up monitoring, check out Prometheus & Grafana or perhaps a paid tool like DataDog and start capturing some metrics.
Use a profiler to pinpoint slow code To figure out what is actually slow, use a profiler. They will monitor ("sample") your program a thousand times a second, and from there, you can pinpoint which line of code is taking up most of the time. Consider tools like Visual Studio's Profiler, PerfView or JetBrains' Profiler.
We're back with another DDD Rewind ⏪
Have you ever thought:
"Do I really know what's slowing this app down… or am I just poking around guessing?"
Let's rewind a talk from @lachlanbarclay.net on Performance, Profiling and Optimisation.

@benpartridge.bsky.social I emailed through a 5th Wednesday jingle for 3BS. I hope you dig it :)
woo great job!!!
Yeah I did a few warm ups and found that reading ahead was the key. Yes qwerty. Dvorak is a myth when it comes to typing faster apparently. Next step up for me is learning to type the next few keys before releasing the previous keys. Maybe one day!
I hate to be that guy but today I'm going to be that guy. I was interested if I've lost it over the years but nah still got it.
🎤 Calling speakers for Melb.NET!
We meet monthly (around 1st Tuesdays) and love talks on tech, dev stories, career tips - you don’t have to be into .NET to have fun here!
It’s a friendly, low-pressure crowd.

@benpartridge.bsky.social If you're ever in Australia the Coles (huge supermarket chain) brand tiramisu is actually really good. I'll try out the Aldi one soon and see how it compares.
Congrats! I have some issues for you to fix :)
Pretty proud of my Dark Castle Speedrun WR (Any %, Mac, Intermediate) www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2bl...
Mobile CSS needs a bit of work. Just some images aren't being resized.
I'd like to claim the world record for "most high brow location for a 3 bean salad ad" thank you.
I recently gave a talk at a great tech conference named "DDD" which I figured was the best place to share the love for @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social . youtu.be/Xfksp0WCCJQ?... (just the first 60 secs)
You'd fail because after getting the first two you only then get 3 attempts.
@benpartridge.bsky.social have you watched "lock stock and two smoking barrels yet?" In 2024 you said the first Jason Statham movie you saw was the beekeeper.
@bronthulke.bsky.social @larsklint.bsky.social have you guys ever thought about doing an "awards" section at DDD? Like where people can nominate devs for an "excellence in software engineering" or "rising star" or "best mentor" award? Finalists are chosen and the winners announced at DDD?
@benpartridge.bsky.social your camera keeps going out of focus and then back in (watch the first 20 secs of new film corner video). If you disable auto focus it should stop doing it with a bit of luck. PS thanks for being a very very funny man.
@keansbox.com VS often hangs for me when doing a search for a file. I took a stack dump ... what's the best way to share it with you? :)
awesome, love it.
@larsklint.bsky.social - loved the outfit changes on Saturday. So cool. BTW do you have a selfie photo that you took of me, yourself and my friend Tom from Rome2rio?
Next time come to my church! Haha completely forgot to invite you!
Helpful at all? (Be honest it's totally fine)
Ha. What width tires were you using?
BTW I'd be interested to hear what your main porting difficulties are.
Doesn't look any easier, they just added a bit more support to older stuff which I wasn't aware was broken, good thing too, I think it might have broken a bunch of stuff for me.
What's the point in using dotnet that has a massive awesome framework which abstracts all of the difficult stuff away from you, if you're expected to know it's internals. The whole point is the abstraction! I don't really care how it works, I just know how to use it.
@benpartridge.bsky.social just interested, can you speak Welsh?
Having said all that, the templating is impossible to figure out and if you want to do something custom, good luck to you!!
