God damn it, I never make dad jokes, but the electrician just showed up and it is a husband+wife duo. I could not resist a "ah, power couple" and it fell flat, fam. IT FELL FLAT.

I picked up my book for the first time in almost 4 years.

I forgot that I was in the middle of deleting a character. That was a mistake, time to undo that now.

Why didn't anyone tell me that having a puppy was a lot like having a newborn.

With the exception that a newborn doesn't bit your pants, fingers, ears, toes, carpet, and they stay where you put them.

It's been 15 years since we've had a puppy and it's exhausting.

But she's so adorable.

@c_9 That's a great claim to fame. I hope he puts that on his LinkedIn

Nearing the end of #DeveloperWeek2023. I have to say that I've learned a lot this week and also discovered that most of these things don't apply to the things that we make at work.

To be fair, there's no real workshops that focus on .Net 4 anymore. #legacy

Been diving headlong into sessions as part of the virtual #DeveloperWeek2023 conference this year. There have been lots of great presentations.

🔴 Governments: "Let's remove masking and recommend vaccination only in response to the ongoing pandemic."

🟢 Public: "Government removed masking, the pandemic must be over."

🔴 Governments: "Okay, come get your vaccinations!"

🟢 Public: "Why? Pandemic is over..."

shout out to everybody who bought a Tesla to save on gas or show off or whatever and is now trying to figure out what to do with the fact that they’re driving around in a $45,000 MAGA hat

Why is Twitter shutting down Chinese activists’ accounts?

Elon’s mass firing of security staff and increased reliance on automation is going to make it easier for tyrants to shout down and silence their critics, former staffers warn: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/twitter-elon-musk-china-dissidents-1234643726/

Got myself a new KVM for work. (Yes they still make those)

I can now use my Linux machine again on the regular.

It's only been a month or so but I really missed using that machine for my development work. It'll be nice when we switch everything over to .NET 6 and I can retire my Windows laptop for good.
