It's a big day!
After 2.5 years of being a #dotnet dev, I've finally managed create a meaningful project with zero (yes ZERO) build warnings.
That must mean it's time for another promotion 🤣

Chilling out with #DexPZ on a chilly evening for #AspiriFridays.
Somehow the @aspire.dev team are keeping his attention! It must be a sign. . . of something.
Perhaps he's inspired by the cat herding abilities of @maddymontaquila.net 😹

Last weeks #TechMids conference was awesome.
A brilliant blend of interesting talks, a fantastic venue, and plenty of chatty attendees.
There was also a dash of rap 🎤

I AM GETTING A LOT of software developers asking about how they can make the most out of going to their very first conference.
I don't even mean just juniors either.
It's across the board.
Many are coming to CYC for their very first conference ever.
What advice DO YOU have for them?

Copilot takes a step back: New Visual Studio options reduce unwanted interference - Neowin
Microsoft is giving developers some options to force Copilot to take a seat rather than presenting distracting code completions in Visual Studio.

just gonna keep saying
AI has always promised to help people spend more time doing valuable work by automating the manual, repetitive, toilsome tasks so that software developers can be free to use their time on "something better".
That's not what's happening.
That's not what's happening.
The promise that wasn’t kept
AI is distracting us from creating real value. While we chase speed and automation, meaningful and human-centered work is getting left behind. Is this progress?
