FYI, I chose not to re-submit because I just feel like I haven't done enough to deserve the award and time constraints don't allow me to put the time in that the community deserves. Maybe I'll be back one day...

This year I chose not to re-submit to continue as a Microsoft MVP, and as of today, I no longer share that title with the amazing group of individuals who provide great value to a community that I love being a part of. To all those renewed, congrats and thank you for all you do!

Today will be an unproductive day for developers across the world. StackOverflow is down!

@jeffblankenburg Enjoy your next chapter!

All stories, no matter how magical, have an end, and this is mine. I have decided to leave Alexa and Amazon, and my last day will be June 6th. We can focus on what's next in a future thread. 🧵 alexa.design/changes

@csharpfritz @CNBC Typical

Watching @CNBC at the airport while waiting for my flight and they ask an analyst their thought on AI investments in big tech companies. The analyst mentioned Meta, Google, even Apple during their segment. No mention of Microsoft.

Glad @Daniel_Jones10 is staying with @giants, although I don't think he is worth as much as he wanted. Best of luck. I think there will be some serious pressure for him to deliver. The fans will turn on him fast. #giants

Come on @Giants, sign the deal already. I'm dying here.

Anyone join Mastodon? Seems like a good idea, at least to secure my name there. But what server are people joining? Their model is confusing.

@jbogard "Is using automapper for what it is not intended bad?" Is a better question. Remember folks, with great power comes great responsibility!

uhhhhhhhhh

@alvinashcraft That's an amazing accomplishment! Thanks for your hard work.

If you're at @techbash next week, I hope you'll join me for this. We'll go through lots of code, and at the end of the hour, you'll be more comfortable with async programming in C#. See you there!

The @azurestorage team really needs to fix their naming rules. It is practically impossible name these accounts - and then read them. Why not allow upper case and special characters too?

@ValaAfshar Shouldn't it be "Think DifferentLY". Great theory and concept but I can't get past the grammar. 😀

You can go to school and spend years trying to learn about great marketing. Or you can spend a few minutes watching Steve Jobs - all marketers should listen:

@ardalis It is so much worse now

Booking flights for the first time in literal years. Has the process of air travel improved much since 2019?

@jeffblankenburg @csharpfritz I think the best is Larry's Steaks which is near St. Joe's. Might be a little out of the way, but I'm not a fan of Gino's or Pat's.

@csharpfritz I am flying into Philly on my way to TechBash. I have time to get ONE cheesesteak. Where are you sending me?

I am on such a sports high right now: Phillies in World Series Eagles 6-0 Union in the Eastern Conference finals Flyers leading the division Penn State 6-1 16 days to .NET Conf and it’s gonna be our biggest event yet with an education zone on Monday the 7th

@WysockiRichard No cut off for tickets!

@schwammy Very good. Do you have a cutoff? Working on it but I see myself going on the Thursday

Don't miss TechBash 2022 - there is still time to register!

@WysockiRichard There is still time to sign up for single day or multi day passes to TechBash! techbash.com

@schwammy Looking to sign up for a single day. Need a mental health break!

Can't wait to see you there @jguadagno !

What is the Difference between Electronic and Digital Signatures? bit.ly/3eNSc4M #esign #dotnetcore

@sjkilleen Don't buy one that simply pops on the back of your chair. I tried that once and it was terrible - hard to light, moves around, not wide enough, etc. This may not be the exact one, but you can see what I mean: bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1580…

OK #devrel folks and #twitch streamers -- favorite green screens? I'm specifically interested in the ability to set it up / tear it down quickly and compact storage. I don't think I need a huge screen because I can place it pretty directly behind me.
