What am I missing about interfaces?
a. you might do so purely out of argo cult, i.e. because someone told you this was the right thing to do™, and that's a silly exercise. b. you could also be doing this for a good reason: to use the interface with a mocking tool like NSubstitute

The Moq-gate: You Either Die a Hero...
When comparing it to one of its most well-known alternatives, NSubstitute, which has "only" reached 85.6 million downloads, it is fair to say that Moq is the most widely used mocking library in the .NET ecosystem.

Since v4.20, Moq is harvesting email addresses
Maintainer rejected the PR. They have temporarily disabled the integration in https://github.com/moq/moq/pull/1375 but kept the SponsorLink project reference in the source code. It seems like their intent is to re-enable the integration at a later point :(
NSubstitute [0] might be an alternative. Or to fork Moq pre-4.20.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
In terms of mocking there are several frameworks you can use, but I've mainly relied on Moq and NSubstitute. Within this demo, I'm going to use NSubstitute as I've found it a little easier to use.

Linux or Windows for .net development?
Since .net core came out it's possible to run and write .net code in all platforms. In your experience what is the best when it comes to development experience and resources consumption? I recently moved to Linux Mint as my daily driver and felt that .net on Windows just works better, even with Rider. I struggled with an issue "Platform not supported exception" when trying to connect with the database using EF Core and NET 6.0. A lot of issues about this matter were opened on GitHub and closed without a proper resolution and the Microsoft teams seems to not give a shit about that, most workaround came from the user's who took their time to investigate the issue.

Show HN: Tankman – An Open Source User Management and Authorization MicroService
Thanks Dave. Looks like sequelize has TypeScript support.
On another note: one of the goals of Tankman is to compile with Native AOT once .Net 8 is out. The EF Core team is working on making it compatible - https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/29754

Newbie Entity Framework question. I get what EF does, but am unable to do anything without a tutorial.
