My ARM template visualizer / viewer extension for VS Code is now up on the marketplace. I've done lots of work getting the user experience right. If you do anything with ARM please try it out! https://t.co/Wl3tCRlNKh

I thought I'd give old C# and .NET a spin for some side project idea. Compiling a simple C# hello-world app to WASM takes 82 seconds! When I use Go with the same build target/env the, time is ~2 sec. Sigh I think I'll stick with Go

Microsoft nerds, help settle a little argument. What shorthand for Azure DevOps do you use?

Dumb Kubernetes naming decisions #274 - kube-proxy is not actually a proxy, no traffic or data flows through it

Honestly kudos to Apple for keeping their DEI promises well into 2025 and employing a 100% blind design team

People lamenting the dead of Stack Overflow... It was shit. A toxic hellscape of elitism, gatekeeping and outdated information. https://t.co/KbHaP06csF

Today, Stack overflow has almost as few questions asked per month, as when it launched back in 2009. A recap of its slow, then rapid, downfall.

Horrible these people are victims of some really, really poor product direction decisions by Microsoft
Microsoft laid off the senior engineers of .NET on Android and key figures of Maui. This might just be the US wave, so perhaps the whole thing is doomed.

This book destroyed a generation of programmers. I was one of them. Took a very long time to unlearn this crap.
I used to think Design Patterns weren't worth learning. Personally, I've seen people use a complicated design pattern to solve a simple problem. But Uncle Bob says Design Patterns is a masterpiece. I'm a simple person, so I'll give it a read. Are you with me?

I love how Lua's answer to everything is a table. Want an object? That's a table. An array? that's also table. You want maps, classes, modules? Yep all tables

To be clear, comparison to Go here could be misleading. You're not going to be doing any backend & systems engineering in Lua, but it's fun!
