Internal audit have fucked up and revoked dev access to source control.

The email says "reply all to regain access" presumably meaning "all the IA people on the to: list", but they've also fucked up and added everyone else to the cc rather than bcc list.

All the Devs, all the dev managers, and IA are using reply all to request, authorise, and notify changes to access.

Hope I don't get any important email today.

Oh god I'm tired of microsoft documentation. I need to know what actual lines of code I need to type in order to use Entra Id to authenticate my local user to a remote app that is not in any way a website, web app, asp.net, or core.web thing.

Why is this so hard? It should just be "use these APIs with this information to get a token, send the token to the server, which can use these APIs to authenticate, authorise and audit the transaction"

Gah!

Interview news. Today someone understood what a number was, and how one might be composed by addition. They demonstrated the ability to use addition to compose a number, and appeared almost insulted they had been asked the question.

One of the great innovations of human evolution is the transmission of information via speech. "The red berries are poisonous, but the green ones are good if you boil them till they're soft", etc.

So why are so many of my work conversations like:

CW:"It doesn't work!"

Me:"Show me."

CW:"I go here, click there, and..."

Me:"You've missed out step 2 of 3."

CW:"Ooooh, right!"

CW:"It still doesn't work!"

Me:"Looks like someone has deleted all the files?"

CW:"Should I not do that?"

Me:"No."
