Topics of Discussion:

[3:12] Isaac talks about getting into Software Dev, how he sought to work in a small space where he could learn hands-on about .NET development, and how he has been doing that ever since.

[4:22] How has the landscape changed?

[5:00] Isaac got into Azure during the early days.

[6:59] How is consulting different?

[13:20] What exactly is Farmer, and how do we use it?

[16:44] Does it matter which .NET language the nougat package is pulled into?

[18:29] An F# project can exist nicely in a Visual Studio solution with other C# projects.

[19:59] With Isaac's unabashed opinion on Farmer, does he prefer having one project that has all of the infrastructure code for both with all the components that are deployed in the application, or does he prefer referencing pharma from the different applications and distributing that logic?

[29:48] Isaac does use Azure Client, but ironically, it's only to deploy the templates that Farmer generates.
