I'm curious to understand if and when inter-satellite links can reduce the latency of a starlink connection

as you might know, it's also about bandwidth and latency. LEO satellites can be an enabler for a lot of remote operation, IF (and this is a big IF) latency remain small also with intersatellite links, and connection reliability is comparable to GEO

just enjoy, if you have a disney+ account, the documentary "among the stars" where you can view the astronauts repairing the hubble telescope

they can release Activision and Bethesta titles only with game pass, and let Sony and Nintendo be free to implement game pass in their platform

unfortunately, the code is simply ugly to read

same for me

I'd like the idea of vertical slices for this: once you've done this, then refactor to microservices will be much easier.

Keep in mind that, although I partially agree with you, other platforms are way-worse than .NET. think about nodejs mess and client-side ecosystem, where things break almost at any minor release. Dev world is going fast, and I think that the choice for .NET is to embrace change or die as an old platform. My2Cents.

Your comment about the JavaScript client side ecosystem is fair, and I could even provide numerous examples of libraries introducing breaking api changes in minor releases.

However it is unfair and simply untrue to somehow also tar nodejs with that brush. Upgrading a nodejs project by a major version usually never needs any code changes
