🦖 Is your company tied to legacy systems that block modernization?

⌛ Are you watching your app performance drop as you add more users and data?

💀 Does your team have “cursed” areas in the code base no one dares to touch?

📋 Struggling with an ever-growing list of features and bugs?

☁️ Wish you could spin up new cloud environments on-demand?

🚀 Need to migrate to the cloud or speed up deployments?

📊 Drowning in data and need to consolidate it for reporting or to power your AI/ML projects?

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

Hey ASP.NET Core & Blazor devs, are you possibly still using the *legacy* Razor editor in Visual Studio?😱 Switch the "Use legacy Razor editor for ASP.NET Core" setting to False to get the latest Razor editor features & improvements!

🇳🇱 Would anyone in Amsterdam be up for hosting a Tailwind CSS meetup on October 4th? Would love to do a dry run of my Rails World talk and meet some new people while I’m in town 🍻
