Late posting; but I received the Microsoft MVP award for 2024-'25 for my public open-source work. Thank you @Microsoft and @MVPAward #mvpbuzz Largest impact project for nomination: * Bogus (79 million downloads) nuget.org/packages/Bogus/ * MVP Profile: lnkd.in/g2p3Xj_U

@DanJSum It's so cool, thank you 🙏I know it's not a huge deal for most people, but for me, it was my last programming goal to make it on the top 100 at least once. Just one small dent in helping everyone build better software. 🎉

@bchavez More than Dapper - nice! 🎉

🙏 Recently found out and humbled. A huge and big thank you to the .NET community for making Bogus rank in the top 100 nuget packages in the world. ♥️ nuget.org/stats/packages #dotnet #csharp #nuget

🎉Released Bogus v35.6.4: * PR 619: Fixed Image.PlaceholderUrl; uses placehold.co now. * Several general C# code improvements by @SimonCropp🙏 ... see HISTORY_md for details. ✅3728 unit tests passing. #dotnet #csharp nuget.org/packages/Bogus…

@elonmusk @grok Austrian economics is real economics that describe how an economy grows and why it doesn't. Keynesian economics is just more hair of the dog.

Please reply to this post with divisive facts for @Grok training. By this I mean things that are politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true.

I love seeing the combination of @bchavez 's #Bogus and OpenAPI transformers in this video from .NET Conf! youtube.com/watch?v=pkQdwb…

@sandertenbrinke Very cool Sander! Thanks for posting! I didn't realize Bogus had a small spot in .NET Conf 2024!

@Mpdreamz @KooKiz Thank you for the kind words! 🙏 #dotnet ftw!

If all our users did that much research before submitting a bug report, I'd be out of a job. This github issue is practically a blog article on its own 😲 github.com/DataDog/dd-tra…

@stilldrey @Microsoft @MVPAward Thank you Daniel! :)

@bchavez @Microsoft @MVPAward Congrats - that is a HUGE impact right there. No need for 24 high impact activities if one thing has this kind of impact! it’s definitely that time of year!

@mkristensen Implement the ability to check out an incoming Pull Request from a GitHub user (who forked). IIRC, this was present in the GH extension but got dropped when GH integration went native.

You're a developer on the Visual Studio team and are given 8 hours to fix or tweak anything you'd like. What do you work on?

@DanJSum @Microsoft @MVPAward Thanks Daniel @DanJSum!

@bchavez @Microsoft @MVPAward Congratulations! 🎉 Well-earned!
