Hey #KubeCon, be extra kind to the staff today. One of them I chatted with yesterday whispered to me that people were giving them a hard time today

Do you know that feeling when your hypothesis is finally validated after a month of Azure support back and forth only to be utterly destroyed because the unbelievable reality is even worse than you thought?

@tarynpivots.bsky.social, do you perhaps know of any odd behaviors with Azure SQL with large servers like throttling or upper limits of AuditEvents?Case is open. Support sounds just as confused as we are.

Is there anything that makes building Azure Policy Definitions less challenging and painful than giving yourself a root canal?

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I've updated my profile image for the first time in years. My daughter has started taking art commissions and she did this avatar for me and included my spirit animal the digital phoenix.

Where is the truth database?
Think Wikipedia but as a structured dataset that I can query. No AI, just a constantly audited, and debated, source of truth.

I finally got around to reading this post from David Haney on LLMs. It's a clear and honest explanation of how LLMs are not Intelligence by any measure and are only getting dumber.

Is there a native syntax highlighting module for #powershell? Not an exe or a python/node module. I just want to color code a given property in the terminal.

Hey #powershell folks, I'm looking for a simple skills check site/service. I'm working on a training program and don't really want to write tests. Surely this already exists.

Is it ok to use 3rd party modules?
PowerShellRun is a launcher but its fuzzy selector is also accessible. Compared to fzf, it's designed to be easier to build tools in PowerShell.

Does anyone have any idea or guidance on reproducing this UX in pure #Powershell w/o using fzf? I have the fuzzy string logic, but not the dynamic list picker. An ArgumentCompleter doesn't quite do the job.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

I've been binging Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. It's so fascinating to play through II and III and see how the team experimented with game mechanics. I played IV so many times as a kid and it's still amazing and even better after playing III. It's like catching up with an old friend.
