But at some point the number of things to do reduce to a level that means that you can more or less put it on a back burner. At that point, you have time to do other stuff http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment41http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment41Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:14:47 GMTIt seems that most real IT projects need to be maintained forever. Bugs need to be fixed. Features continue to creep in. More bugs because of the feature creep. Etcetera. And eventually you become walled in by all these old projects that continue to demand attention. It must be nice to be able to _finish_ a project and get some closure like that. How do you do it? http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment40http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment40Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:24:51 GMTWhat about Lightspeed? It's an interesting OR/M and not some inferior product like L2S or EF. I'd buy it for sure.. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment39http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment39Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:59:18 GMTMacto as aTekpub series would be a great idea. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment38http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment38Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:37:02 GMT+1 for Macto :-) Maybe to make it worth your while you could publish it as open-source, but give the information in a Tekpub series so you get some money too. I'd happily pay $20-30 to see how you develop good software! http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment37http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment37Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:28:08 GMT+1 for Production Profiling http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment36http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment36Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:12:02 GMTwhat about macto? http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment35http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment35Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:34:13 GMTNikola, I am aware of this, yes. That is quite an invasive approach, and not something that you would probably want to do. I have a much less invasive approach designed. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment34http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment34Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:19:54 GMTI'm pretty sure that you are aware of it but still (just in case)... Have you seen this?

I'm still quite new to NH so the biggest benefit of NHProf for me is the confirmation it gives that NH is set up and being used properly. Having this insight to your other offerings will for me, be a big benefit. I appreciate the market must be there to make a business work. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment32http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment32Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:07:56 GMTDave, Hm, I completely disagree with you on the desktop apps & OR/M part, you might want to read my MSDN article about this exact topic http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment31http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment31Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:28:16 GMTKrzystof, The caching stuff is interesting from pure geeky point of view, but working on EF is because I expect a market there. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment30http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment30Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:27:10 GMTJonas, I did, just recently, no one noticed http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment29http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment29Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:26:25 GMTRafal, That is what DAL Prof is all about. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment28http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment28Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:26:02 GMTI would like to see a 'DAL' profiler. ORM libraries that provide lazy loading can't be easily used with desktop applications. Either it downloads big chunks of your database or you need to enclose call's to lazy relations with a session. In WPF that's not that easy. I need lazy loaded entities without the hassle to provide a database context when such related entity is accessed using a binding. So we end up writing our own DAL/ORM. It's very simple and projections are limited. For complex projections we used a iBates like solution. Instead of specifying a table, one can specify a query and map the result to an entity. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment27http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment27Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:01:42 GMT@Ayende Did you find EF interesting, or just go where big enough market is (or presumably soon will be)? I don't care about EF, and Production profiling seems like the most reasonable choice from where I stand. Alghouth you'll hopefully still have some time left for OSS work ;) http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment26http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment26Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:29:33 GMTAyende, How about taking some time off :) U are a lucky guy, love what u do and being the best!

And the "Sorry, but this comment is a duplicate of another comment. Duplicate comments are not allowed" validation is the only reason why us, the "production profiler sect", did not take control over this post... http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment24http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment24Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:08:44 GMT+1 production profiling What if there was an option to write a NH Prof adapter that would allow an application that is using custom ORM/DAL to be profiled with NHProf? Would it be very difficult? http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment23http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment23Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:30:27 GMTI go for - Production Profiling. ;-) http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment22http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment22Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:54:50 GMTRhino Security. Somehow there aren't many people using it yet. The question is: why? Maybe you could look into that. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment21http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment21Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:43:51 GMTEF Caching: Indeed. But only having any cool factor if done as an open source project. Other than that, EF is still largely irrelevant. Production profiling:Absolutely. LLBLGen Prof: Haven't used it much, but Ayende+Frans is always an interesting combination, and the inevitable discussions could result in real community benefit. DAL Prof: A bit abstract Other: No. Please don't go there. http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment20http://ayende.com/4320/what-should-i-work-on-next#comment20Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:09:41 GMTJanus: Check out Ayende's Rhino ETL tool.
