I have 0.0003 shares of MSFT now.

I feel the exact same way about a person deriving joy from firing government workers and defunding programs helping the world’s poorest.
Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?

Does M365 Copilot re-pin itself to taskbar every time you reboot? I hope this is just a bug and not by design. I have sent feedback.

We’d have AGI already if we never invented uppercase letters, backwards slashes, and redundant ways to indicate the end of a line.

I very much like Linux, but without fail anytime I see someone trying to "switch to Linux" I see a post in a few days saying "I updated my jinglehopper and now my beebeehams stopped working, any ideas?"

Thanks for the kind words, Kirill!
You're a huge inspiration to me.
I will echo the sentiment of many others here and say that if it weren't for msbuildlog.com, I never would have been able to have the impact that I've had.

When @nickcraver.com joined Microsoft I was curious what he will naturally gravitate towards after he looks around. Nick looked around and decided to fix builds!
When @nguerrera.dev joined Microsoft, I already knew what he will deem to be most impactful task for starters: fixing builds!

Is there a way to configure format-on-save for a repo in Visual Studio like you can in Visual Studio code? I only want this on in repos that enforce formatting, not for any file I open.

Did someone already build an analyzer that lets you annotate the internals you actually want to share with friend assemblies, and then fire on any use of other internals? I searched but didn't find one.

Always be skeptical of code comments that say, "we have to do this because ..." Very often, the reasoning is badly outdated.

Importing tweets is cool, but @bsky.app, please mark skeets with client-chosen timestamp distinctly somehow.
In the meantime, be skeptical when you see “check the date on this skeet!”
