This is a great set of tips, actually. This may just have to go in my monthly pick. Okay, so I actually slightly dispute the title of the article, since it implies you should be thinking a lot about the internals of GC (which you really shouldn't) -- "bad memory performance" would be better in place of "garbage collections". But yeah, handy article for sure.

Obfuscation... never really put much faith in it really. Automated Error Reporting sounds kind of useful for an enterprise app though.
Why Many Developers Hate ASP.NET and Why They’re Wrong
I agree with this. And indeed, classic ASP gave me that feeling too... but ASP.ENT 4.0 is so very different from classic ASP that I see few reasons to relate the two.
The Fastest Webserver? - Web Performance
Very interesting. I shall link all those Linux fanboys who like to bash Windows to this article in the future. :-) More details about the tests would be appreciated though...

I agree, this is pretty cool. What about just exposing REST resources on the site which a console program on the desktop could connect to, though? This doesn't even touch web UI, which is advantageous in my mind. I don't see any down-sides either.
10 Things ASP.NET Developers Should Know About Web.config Inheritance

Some useful tips. I didn't actually know any of 4, 6, 7, which could definitely be pretty useful. I still hate web.config files, as they're big bloated pieces of semi-comprehensible XML, but oh well!

Ugh. Just what we need; an IDE to become a game! Surely Microsoft folk could be spending their time on better things? In fact this has just made many developers' productivity around the world drop dramatically.
Phil Haack, Keith Dahlby and Paul Betts on Git for Windows
Bazaar has allowed rewriting history for some time now... and it's so very much easier to use. The DVCS as a whole works much more smoothly on Windows, and it's always been my favourite. Made for humans< as I like to say. :-) It seems many Git users have this idea that Git is the only real DVCS out there... far from true.
What else is new in C# 5?

Very informative. It's not often one hears about anything except the new `async` keyword and related functionality when it comes to .NET 4.5/C# 5!
Windows 8 on laptop in-depth analysis
A fairly sound appraisal. It doesn't exactly encourage me with regards to Windows 8 though... I mean really, keep Metro UI to tablets and phones please, Microsoft. That's what it's good for! The Start Menu thing really irks me too... a few features that are really not cool. And nothing that gets me overly excited. I think I may just stay with Windows 7 as long as possible... or switch to Mac before long heh.
