Turns out it was some kind of compiler optimization in @visualstudio.com 2026 that caused this to break. But with the help of @github.com #copilot I was able to write a patch that would work around this and also improve the implementation and performance of the method that caused this.

I did not wake up today thinking I was going to learn a lot about debugging dll loading in a shell inside a @github.com actions runner but it turns out I did. Finally got a stack trace that explains to me where my native library is crashing when starting the @dot.net unit tests.

Very proud of myself that for the first time in months (maybe even a year?) I have no pending notifications on @github.com. This will probably change in the next 24 hours but very nice that I could finally work on some of the issues that have been on my unread notifications for ages.

Would this be fraudulent 😉? You would need to join interviews during the hiring process as a proxy candidate. This means attending interviews under another person's name, not your own, based on an assigned profile. Why do people even bother sending these kind of messages?
