@dhh Oh man, I’m writing an energy monitoring alertboard right now for work (command center). Dare I steal this idea? Think they’ll notice? ⚡️⚡️

Omarchy 4 is going to be so fun. Quickshell is ace.

@richcampbell Cool, I did something similar with a base class that I picked up from some @honeycombio examples (pizza shop I think). Nice seeing this written up

@kellabyte @JustDeezGuy I feel like this has so much to do with scrum and sprints. Meanwhile software is a marathon not a sprint, our software sucks because we tackle it one sprint at a time. Hyper focused on an arbitrary deadline while forgetting about the bigger longer term goals

I’ve been a pro coder since I was 15. I’m exhausted from deadlines, pressure week after week. All the re-organizations. It takes a toll I’ve been fighting burn out for a few years All I know is coding and arch. I think a lot about what kind of role or indy work I would thrive

@DamianEdwards @Aaronontheweb @davidfowl @eehardt I have a SignalR client application published as Native AOT using MessagePack. I’m fairly certain I could have used system text JSON with type resolvers as well but I’m using nerdbank <PackageReference Include="Nerdbank.MessagePack.SignalR" />

@Aaronontheweb The .NET SignalR client doesn't support native AOT? We should definitely fix that if true @davidfowl @eehardt

@unclebobmartin Would love to have heard your opinion had this happen when Biden was president

My thoughts on the Iran issue. Thank God that there are leaders who understand the threat and are taking the necessary action to address it. I've been waiting for this for 47 years. I remember, all too well, the day the American hostages were taken, and the 444 days of their captivity. I remember, all too well, the Iranian diaspora, and the horrors that the regime imposed upon it's own people and upon the world. And when it is gone, and buried, with a stake through its heart, I will smile and say: Good Effing Riddance.

Every bug is oportunity for better test converage. Try telling that to my team.

@wagslane So true, in fact when I went to public school in 9th grade suddenly a math course required a TI83. Required. Um, my father got a masters in mathematics around 1952 and could run circles around me using one of those things. I clearly needed to know math

Maybe the reason no one screamed "stop wasting your time learning math" was because big pocket calculator corps didn't run massive PR campaigns to convince us that one needs to know how to do math

@mitchellh Yeah he fixed a bug in the wrong code base that didn’t event have the bug

@mitchellh I just reviewed and closed the single most unhinged PR I’ve ever seen clearly created by an employee using AI. Tons of beautiful content in the PR markdown, great code changes, wrong freaking repository!!!

People like this should not be allowed to use AI.

The lamest thing about AI is that we now get tutorials and blogs about markdown files. This stuff used to be interesting

I hate these "coding isn't the hard part" tweets I have been a part of and seen several companies not just struggling with "the right decision" but the culmination of their past technical decisions. AI won't magically make this go away. Lines of Code is still a liability and producing it faster doesn't change or reduce it, if anything it increases liability. Room temperature Twitter take strikes yet again

All signals are suggesting Discriminated Unions are finally on for C# 15 and #dotnet 11

@edandersen FTG. I used to be a tow truck driver now I have an invisible white collar on thanks to software engineering. Was able to pay for my daughter’s college, never thought that was possible. Why create a system that stands to wipe out so much wealth from the middle class

the worst part is the glee in his words when he says that software engineering is over. so long the only route to the middle class available to working class kids. Nice knowing you.

@justinskycak @csanyi_andras I have that person under me right now and it’s amazing. I’ve been that person when I was younger. This is the first (maybe second) time I’ve had someone driven and talented under me and working with him is delightful. Sadly I lack that person above me

Never underestimate how much you'll grow while working under the guidance of an older experienced person who is unreasonably demanding, incredibly supportive, and has your deepest respect. But understand this hard truth: To find that person and be worth their time, you typically have to be an incredibly skilled and hard worker in the first place. You are not going to run into that person if you’re mid and coasting.

@SumitM_X Rejoice, if bots are flooding my login, I’ve made it to the big leagues 🎉

Your API is public and bots are flooding login attempts. What do you do?

Why do all the Agile and Scrum folks always say “because we’re not doing it correctly”. As if that’s some excuse for a failed system. If nobody ever “does it correctly” it’s fundamentally broken

@unclebobmartin You may not know the definition of the word humanity

@evvillian You do not know the definition of the word “executed”.

Anyone who thinks they know what happened in Minneapolis is blinded by their own bias.

Pops, He’s innocent until proven guilty, that’s why he’s still on the street. Heck he probably won’t even be charged. He’s getting far beyond reasonable doubt. She was referred to as a domestic terrorist on national TV after being executed publicly (how’s that for presumed innocence). I sincerely hope you act the same way after a school shooting, or perhaps your political ideology has gotten in the way. The difference between us, I’m not being political about this. I just plain and simply watched an American citizen get executed and I’m will to believe my own damn eyes.

Son, we decide these things in a court of law. That court will see more evidence than you or I ever will; and will make a determination based on that evidence despite what you or I feel is “clearly shown”. Until then the officer is _presumed innocent_ — a concept I think you sorely need to learn.

@thestanduppod I’ve always rolled my shirts. The efficiency gains mean I don’t need AI to help me code.
