Visual Studio 2016 + Talk DevOps please

on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

Visual Studio 15 trims startup and install pain (small VS Code installers under 300MB, 3% faster IDE, open-folder without .sln, conditional debugger step-into and hover-to-see inner exceptions) and DevOps advice shows concrete tools and results: a TimePro portal using Octopus for automated deploys, Raygun to correlate new exceptions to specific builds, Application Insights/New Relic for telemetry, LaunchDarkly style feature toggling, and GitHub flow for feature branches. Cited numbers: ~40% rework and ~200 minutes to diagnose faults; Netflix runs chaos monkey (kills VMs) to validate resilience.
