Sometimes I want to write a small C# snippet to test or check an idea.
But it is too much effort to start up Visual Studio (Code) or Rider and create a console app.
Even when I have any of these editors open, it is still much of a hassle. It’s often not even worth writing a test case for it.
LINQPad is an ancient tool, originally created to quickly write LINQ queries, but it is also perfect to write dotnet code (C#/F#/VB).
It’s my go to tool for writing C# snippets and just run them.
It’s eliminating friction for me, so I bought the tool. Buying gives, me intellisense (and debugging). You only realize how dependent you are on intellisense when you don’t have it 🤣.
What’s your favorite tool that solves a tiny problem?
