Join me this Thursday (Dec. 14) for an open Q&A session on anything Azure marketplace related. Register here: microsoftcloudpartner.eventbuilder.com/event/79375 Bring any marketplace question, although I will admit I am more conversent on the technical topics than the business topics.

Automating workflows with the SaaS Accelerator An article I wrote about new features in the Azure marketplace SaaS Accelerator. techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/marketplace…

@csells @svpino Try using it to analyze code a given URL. I pointed it to raw code on GitHub and it worked. It read the code from the URL.

@svpino I struggle feeding ChatGPT enough lines of code to be useful, e.g. translation of a module from one language to another only works for really short modules.

ChatGPT is game-changing for developers, but the secret is in how you ask. If you try to find a bug in a function with 200 lines of code, ChatGPT will struggle. But if you break the function down, give ChatGPT context, and guide it with questions, it will do great.

@FedExHelp @alvinashcraft Yeah. Right. Your driver literally throws my packages into the woods at the end of my driveway instead of driving in. We have to watch out for packages that can just appear anywhere on our property. Worst service of any carrier.

@alvinashcraft Good day, my name is Amilcar. At FedEx, we really care about our customer experience and I would like to get more information about your concerns in order to do my best to help you. Please DM me, I will be happy to help you. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@alvinashcraft FedEx sucks so bad. If there were a place to complain and it mattered, I would be on that call pretty often.

@ElGuapo1888 I like to read my classified documents in the bathroom.

@robin_heinze @SimplecastHelp @jamonholmgren @alvinashcraft @angularpodcast @ReactNativeRdio Does this need to be done for all episodes?

@SimplecastHelp @jamonholmgren @alvinashcraft @angularpodcast @ReactNativeRdio If anyone sees this, the answer is to use the Alternate Episode URL field because the RSS feed doesn't use the main one help.simplecast.com/en/articles/26…

@jeremydmiller Yeah, what's the URL?

Hey, if I happened to be recording an introductory video on event sourcing w/ Marten, is there anything in particular folks would want answered?

@craigshoemaker As I think you'll recall, have a similar story. After years of sticking with it, our current podcast is quite successful.

I started podcasting 17 years ago I was terrible But I kept at it And I gradually improved It's surprising how much progress is possible when you persevere, but you never notice as it happens So today, I'm finding new "terrible" terrain to explore

@jason_grundy Same. I used it to help me write a presentation on some coding practices and I took a lot of code from the AI. Very impressive.

I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon writing code using ChatGPT and I am blown away.

@tedneward Thanks, Ted! Agile Families: Techniques for Living with Change The Pluralsight course pluralsight.com/courses/agile-… The book: amazon.com/Secrets-Happy-… The Ted talk: goodreads.com/videos/117742-…

Your annual reminder that @ElegantCoder has materials on using agile to help run your family. Not sure of the links, I’ll leave it to him to post.

@TheAnkurTyagi To be clear, employees should not be penalized for living in a less expensive area. Pay what people are worth, not what you perceive they need.

Should a developer’s salary 💰💰be adjusted for the cost of living in their city/country?

@kateward For me, culture.

People stay working at Microsoft for like 15-30 years. What's going on over there? 🧐

@writes_eve Literally anything else

What do you do when you don’t feel like writing?

@jason_grundy I'm on mission 2 of modern warfare II in noob mode on campaign and I can barely find the trigger.

Finished God of War Ragnarok on Give Me No Mercy mode. What a great game. Now doing the post credits stuff. Plenty of challenges left.

Refactoring Bloated Controllers with IServiceProvider elegantcode.com/2022/11/26/ref… I've been wanting to get back to my blog for a while now. Here's my first shot. #microsoft #csharp #dotnet #aspdotnet

@ElGuapo1888 Umm. Yes.

@ElegantCoder @csells Does the watch track swimming? I've been using a Fitbit Charge 5 and have had to replace two units in as many months.

I fell in love with the size and heft and look of the Apple Watch Ultra today. Why doesn't Android have something that cool? The Pixel Watch feels like wearing a quarter on a band of dental floss in comparison. (I'm 6'5" and beefy.)
