@dr_boese @KAYAK @qatarairways Aber zumindest ein Leg ist Codeshare mit IB, oder? (Nicht, dass es das besser machen würde.)

@chwenz @KAYAK @qatarairways Verbindung besteht ausschließlich aus Qatar Metall

Dreiste Nummer: Suche ich bei @KAYAK Flüge nach Asien und gebe an, nicht mit @qatarairways fliegen zu wollen, wird mir u.a. diese Verbindung angeboten. Da wird so mancher wenig erfahrener Reisender aber angefressen sein.

@edandersen nice - @shanselman now take the Concorde to MVP Summit in Redmond! :)

Guess who just turned up to our Tokyo .NET Developers meetup 🙂 The man, the legend

Happy Pi day! pisearch.joshkeegan.co.uk

Achievement unlocked: got a call from Microsoft support that actually was from Microsoft support.

A milestone! (And I'm not saying that solely because I'm mentioned in the release announcement ;-) ).

Fascinating writeup!

The wait is over! The @HTTPArchive has officially released the 2025 Web Almanac. 🚀 I led the new #GenerativeAI chapter, which "delves" ;) into the hard numbers of AI adoption on the web, backed by data from millions of sites. ➡️ almanac.httparchive.org/en/2025/genera… #theWebAlmanac #WebAI

On January 14, 2006, 20 years ago today, @jeresig introduced a new JavaScript library that came to be known as jQuery.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

Looks like the final version of the @OWASPTop10 was released just in time for the holidays. 🎉 owasp.org/Top10/2025/

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@ZeroKoll @dotnet Not sure about the latter :-D :-D Congrats!

I got a mention from @dotnet today! That's definitely a point in the win column for me. Also, I think that means that I wasn't talking BS in the podcast...

@HannesPreishub Ich muss an die einstige Go-Live-Lizenz für Atlas denken ...
