First goal reached. I am connected to my #Mac from #VS2022 in a #Parallels #VM without having
#VS4Mac installed.
Well, that screams for a blog post.

- connect with a Mac that has no VS4Mac installed
- try to open, restore and build some of my existing solutions in #VSCode
I will post a lot of rants while running these tests. Please be prepared.

#ProTip for #Parallels Desktop user
Do not forget to activate the #NetworkConditioner (no matter which OS you are hosting)!
Otherwise you will have very slow network connections, be it between the #Host and the #VM and also to the internet.

Oh God, so many decisions! Been building a new notification API server to use at home, but I can't make up my mind if I want to stick with my favorite server language #golang or try something new and potentially faster with #rust. Hell, I even started outlining a version in #python to check out @FastAPI and it's awesomeness...the struggle is REAL!!! 🫠😭 :golang: :rust_ferris: :python: #programming #devproblems
