1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Programmers are usually fed a steady diet of features and bug fixes. But occasionally they get to work on performance problems. This development methodology is known as intermittent fasting.

@normj.bsky.social hello! We are using the typescript AWS CDK for infra and our code is C#. I was playing with the new aspire stuff, super exciting! Is there a way for me to reference the typescript CDK or should I output it to cloud formation script and reference it that way in aspire?

When we talk about the value of an OSS framework like Brighter or Wolverine (and Mediatr and Mass Transit), folks sometimes miss the fact that it is the knowledge that you are re-using, not simply LOC.
So, yes, you could write your own Command Processor and message pump for RMQ or Kafka.

This is a great talk, highly recommended. Also, an opinionated implementation of V.O by @dunnhq.com that I could recommend:
github.com/SteveDunn/Vo...
- You could reduce a lot of cognitive load from your team and yourself, with ample number of Code Analyzers, that prevent you from mistakes.

I failed an interview a while ago because I didn't know that a dictionary stores data as key/value pairs. It doesn't. So I wrote this. It's almost as boring to read as it was to write, but it might come in handy if you're ever interviewed by the same fuckwit!
