AI in coding is cool and stuff, but even using tools like @github.com's #speckit - it's like have the laziest junior developer hanging around.

_No, dude... no... You can just remove the logging because you don't like it. Remember the spec (constitution) you agreed too? ...telemetry is critical!_

When Windows pops up a window from no-where - like UAC - and it’s got a default button, if you happen to be typing at the same time…you end up actioning whatever the default operation is!

For the love of fucking Christ, Microsoft. Who in the design team said ‘yes’ to that? It’s fucking insane!

I _really_ wish Azure DevOps would support modern Markdown rendering.

The odd ADO version drives me crazy.... I mean, what is with the Mermaid JS specific code fencing?!

The mobile experience around the @microsoft365.microsoft.com Planner App is appalling.

Travelling back today, and trying to organise engineers for a project worth millions and it’s not possible without a full-on laptop and stable internet connection.

Blown away by how good this thing is.

Reliable, fast, and looks amazing too!

Using GPT-5 (preview) via @github.com Copilot this-morning.

It decided, despite instruction, that the Powershell -WhatIf switch was probably ok to ignore.

It deleted 2.5TB of test data.

@simonbrown.je I was just watching one of your talks on YT and you mentioned a PDF check list for diagram creation. I couldn’t quite catch where you said it was…?

Took me a few attempts, but I did it. I finished the latest (last?) Mission Impossible.

Self-Indulgent-Wank/ 10.

It's all just Tombo Cruise's movie about how much he can run and how fast.

Also, constant AI/ tech non-sense.

Recently tried to change my email address on #Vinted, but apparently the domain for my email provided is blocked on Vinted.

My email is part of the alias service provided by the (brilliant) @proton.me.

Talked to support - complete refusal to unblock it, citing security concerns. Bonkers!

GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio is really lagging behind the VS Code integration.

Might move to VS Code for .NET dev at this rate, between the speed and better extensions, VS (full) is beginning to feel like a 🦕.

My wife’s work Microsoft #Surface laptop had a significant moment today.

Too hot to touch, had to pop it outside on the off chance exploded…or flew away.

@proton.me hi!! Do you folks have a browser planned at any point?

Something that works cross platform, including a bookmark sync?

I’ve been paying for Outlook.com for years - more space, etc.

But the spam filter is so bad, I’m finally done. It’s constant. Always reporting the same type, style, or often identical spam. Nothing changes.

Moving to Proton Mail next week - all plus addresses will get a real alias.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
