Finally wrapping up a project I'd been thinking about for a while and the implementation ended up quite different from what I planned! Sometimes the best solutions always emerge while building. How often does planning vs. reality never quite match up on your projects?

I'm just this guy, you know?
After a lifetime of Microsoft loyalty, I too am finally exploring Linux for my home server. I can't upgrade it to win11, so it’s the perfect time to experiment with a new platform: https://qr.pageinit.net/7
Have you made a similar leap? How did it go, do you miss Windows or are you all in?
I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
With the growing number of users jumping from Windows to Linux, I decided to fully take the plunge and dive deep into the Open Source ocean. A few months and several headaches later, it has proved to be the best computer-related decision I've made in over a decade (and perhaps in my entire life).

Just realized I've been reusing the same code for meta tags in my asp.net sites for years now, across literally dozens of different projects! Not sure if that means it's good or I'm just lazy. Hopefully it's both!
Really should nuget this someday.
What code patterns do you copy-paste everywhere?
Finally looking deeper into react and next.js, and the shift from "full website reloads" to SPAs to "actually server-side rendering is good again" has been an interesting takeaway. We seem to keep rediscovering and revisiting old ideas with new tools.
What's a trend you've seen come full circle?
Running a DELETE statement in production? I recently tackled some pesky duplicate data and found a safe way to do it with a Common Table Expression, letting you preview what will be removed. Check out my breakdown on fixing it (and preventing it!) here: https://qr.pageinit.net/5 #sql #techtips
Cleaning Up Bad SQL Data: Find and Delete Duplicate Records The Right Way
Find duplicate data in a production SQL table? Follow this pragmatic, real-world guide to safely find and delete those duplicate rows using a Common Table Expression (CTE), and learn how to prevent it from ever happening again with a unique constraint.
The recent news of the triple OS phone (android, linux, AND windows!) has me re-missing my Windows Phone! It had this incredibly clean design language and UI that just disappeared when the platform died. Were you a fan? What long lost tech are you missing lately?
There's a tri-boot phone coming out that runs #Android, #Linux, AND #Windows 11! 14 years in the making, it's probably entirely impractical, but I TOTALLY want one!
Miss you, #WindowsPhone.

I've been trying to batch similar tasks together (all API endpoints one day, all UI another) and so far it seems more efficient than bouncing between layers. Context switching is expensive! Do you prefer staying in one layer or bouncing around to keep things fresh?
