Episode 50 🎉: Hot Reload - with David Wengier
In this milestone 50th episode (🥳🎉🍻) - I was joined by David Wengier to chat about how .NET’s hot reload works! We covered how the metadata in dotnet assemblies work, and how hot reload manipulates this data in various ways in memory to do its thing. We also touched a bit on the whole hot-reload dotnet drama thing! 🤫🙈
We had quite a fun chat afterwards too, so decided to include that in the episode - so keep playing past my usual outro to hear that.
David is a Roslyn and Razor tooling developer at Microsoft, living in Melbourne, Australia.
