But you knew about
dotnet build
Tbf, I looked it up on Google. I know you can do everything you can with Visual Studio also in the CLI, but never bothered checking out the specific commands. 2 second search on Google returned
donet build
.A software engineer isn't defined by what commands he knows or what functions he can remember off the top of his head or what languages he used to write hello world. Those are easily Googlable things that have little to no value irl. The ability to actually solve a problem or build an architecture, a system, even if only in pseudocode is much much more valuable than knowing any specific command.
Case in point, I routinely Google stuff I already used or self reference previous code I've written cause I can't remember how I did certain things. Nothing wrong with that.
There's no shame in being a play-button corporate programmer who's in it only for the money! In fact, most employers prefer this kind of people.
