It's amazing how often you can't simply Clone a repository (aka "Get Latest") and compile it.
A good developer makes it clear how to get a new project, compile it and run it.

Sometimes the experience is more CLI based
Figure: Some consider this rule (Do you get latest and compile) to be more a “git clone” and then “dotnet run”
Sometimes the experience is more Mac-based
Figure: On a MacBook, if you hold down the Fn key, the touch bar will show F buttons
Figure: On a MacBook, VSCode has a run button to launch the debugger (similar to F5)
Figure: On a MacBook, Visual Studio for Mac is similar to VSCode but less obvious, since it looks more like XCode
