Polly
Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner. From version 6.0.1, Polly targets .NET Standard 1.1 and 2.0+. (by App-vNext)

Had this NOKIA-9000 communicator laying on my shelf for a long time, and I’m still amazed how cool this device was back in the day.
Runs PC-GEOS! Which recently got open sourced, if you want to write software for it... https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos

Can anyone suggest any fun to mess around with software that I can find on archive.org? I'm looking for things from old businesses or just anything fun really.
luckily we have sources now ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ) so that makes it much more fun. it's kinda weird to read TODO from 199x :)

MS-DOS in Hyper-V
i was a bit joking with geos but of course, if you are curious - then try it. by now even the sources are available if you want to read some cute assembly or dive in prehistoric kernel ( https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos ).

The Retry Pattern and Retry Storm Anti-pattern
In our applications, we should wrap all requests to remote services in code that implements a retry policy that follows one of the strategies I listed earlier. If you are a .NET developer like myself, you may be familiar with the Polly library. Golang has a library called Retry, and there are numerous third-party libraries for Python and Java.

Http calls on mobile, what is the preferred way / best practice
Another question that rises is, would it be better to use some HttpClient package to handle the requests, like Refit in combination with Polly. But then again, it seems Refit also uses the HttpClient factory, which was a bad thing according to the previous?
-
[Question] HttpClient does not recover from error
D'Oh! Sorry, not PolySharp. I meant Polly. Too many similarly-named libraries!
-
I thought "Availability Groups" would be 100% "seamless"
Everywhere I've worked with AGs, we've worked with the application team to add retry logic to help make things a bit more seamless to end users. There are libraries out there that can make this pretty easy - Polly is one that I've used a few times, but there are others.
-
Do you really need "microservices"?
Fallacy 1: The network is reliable. If system 2 works perfectly well, but is not accessible for service 1 due to network issues, service 2 is still unavailable. This is why timeouts, service breakers and retry policies exist. A great tool for .NET to handle common network issues is Polly, but even when using a tool like this, the network is still not completely reliable.
-
Only "exit 1" if VISIBLE errors are thrown during script invocation, ignoring try/catch blocks
I see. Then I don't have any better idea right now, but I do want to suggest that if your script is mostly API calls and you want to be able to deal with failures then take a look at the polly library: https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly

Getting back into C# after a hiatus, any good reading material recommendations to get back up to speed? Been using Kotlin recently, and got quite a lot of experience in engineering.
Runs in containers nicely, has good integration with Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC, etc. for Microservices communication. Implements resiliency patterns you'd want in Microservices via Polly. Has a decent Dependency Injection framework built in by default.

What your hidden nuget gems ?
It's in no way hidden. But I use Polly all the time.
