@will it’s insanely ironic that the entire platform is either people making fun of Elmo or bot accounts spamming complete BS at his mentions.

He cried for months about the % of bots on the platform, but I’d wager it’s worse now.

@khalidabuhakmeh frustrated for them. It’s infuriating as a developer in a fortune 10 org who has to jump through a million hoops to spend just a few bucks a month - even when I have a corporate CC.

My boss understands that saving 20 min of my time every day is a big savings. But there are so many middle managers who think the biggest companies in the world live and die on penny pinching.

Unless it’s executive travel.

@khalidabuhakmeh I get piled on by ".NET is the only way" developers every time, but MS frameworks for UI always miss the mark.

Touting "ground-breaking" developer-QoL features that almost every JS framework has had for years while sticking with the same tired XAML or Razor templates.

Blazor, Xamarin, MAUI...use them if you want. As someone who went elsewhere, I'm underwhelmed by all.

I'll be interested to see if MS teams abandon their use of React Native in the coming years.

@will @bradshoemaker Totally on me for continuing on. Maybe Elmo deserves some blame, too.

You guys just keep being ✨ awesome ✨

@patriksvensson Worth it to make my dumb little scripts feel like Hollywood hacking
@Ary oh shit is this going to be a gen x platform?
@jiska works on my machine Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
@khalidabuhakmeh ugh just use int64! 🀣
Whew. I love @will and @bradshoemaker on Brad and Will Made a Techpod, but I was clearly not ready for a Twitter-meltdown recap show today while I did chores.

It's not effective at all. It's exactly like 8chan and kiwi farms. These communities cause harm simply by being allowed to exist.

It's the same circumstance for CP. You absolutely would not be OK with us just blocking Mastodon instances that allow CP.
