@dustinmoris Unfair. Aspire is a way for developers to plan and uplift cloud applications

@CoderUday There's a curve, the proportion is less now because more people are programmers than ever before. However, programming problems haven't changed. Hiring older means you hire experience. I do sigh when I meet contemporaries that refuse to acknowledge new tech/techniques.

This is how crumpets are supposed to look. They go back in the toaster at least one more time. Don’t ever serve me or anyone you claim to love anaemic ass crumpets imo

@CFDevelop A Surprisingly large number of developers do not have github repos, or contribute to other projects.

If you're forcing candidates to take home assignments, why can't you just look at their GitHub work instead? Do you enjoy taking time from their families away and punishing them for looking for work?

Back when AWS did a phone screen before onsite interviews, the first technical question I would ask, regardless of level, was “tell me what you know about hash tables” You would be blown away by the number of allegedly-senior devs who don’t know a thing about them — around 50%

If you're currently a #csharp dev, I think you're going to need to reskill to F# in the next 5-10 years. One day you'll wake up and all the kids will look at you funny when you wanna write C#. It just won't be cool anymore. Sowwy

@BriannaWu America is always about ultimatums. Phase 1 should be talks. I guess this comes from being a superpower, always leveraging strength in black and white terms

What features do you want in C# Dev Kit and why? Don’t say because Visual Studio or Rider has it 😅 or because you’re “used to it”, tell me why you can’t work without it. #dotnet #csharp
David Fowler@davidfowl

As someone who has built up muscle memory for Visual Studio over the last 15+ years, I've been trying to get accustomed to VS code. Some of the paradigms are beginning to click. I've been using it daily to work on some bigger projects.

@shanselman Seems an entitled move by Sam Altman. Thinking he could get away with that, even if he had never contacted SJ before. It shows a degree of arrogance that, it seems, all the big tech bros value.
