Azure says my subscription is disabled. Azure billing says I owe nothing. Support says… nothing. I’m a Microsoft MVP, and I’ve spent most of my morning chasing this billing black hole. 🫤 @Azure @AzureSupport @coolcsh #MVPBbuzz

After 30+ years in software, I’d love to understand which Apple UX decision-maker thought moving the macOS login to the bottom of the screen improved usability. Please show your work. 🤣 @Apple #macOS

#dotNetDave Says... All data coming into a type MUST be validated! Otherwise, encapsulation and abstraction are broken and so is #OOP! https://t.co/PTYfFJm7d8 #CodeQuality #MVPBuzz

🎸 Ditch the old is-then-cast dance and let pattern matching rip! In .NET, pattern matching cleans up your code and boosts performance — like swapping a squeaky pickup for a high-gain humbucker. 👇 #dotnet #dotnet10 #MVPBuzz https://t.co/gpOVisJPpP

🎸 Your .NET code shouldn’t be doing extra work just to look cool — unnecessary casts are like noise in a great solo: they add nothing and slow you down. Trim the fat, tighten the performance, and let your code shred. 👇 #dotnet #dotnet10 #MVPBuzz https://t.co/W8kNYLwCCa

Apple, fix the #macOS bug that corrupts external drives every time the power goes out. This has existed for YEARS. I’m tired of repairing disks on Windows and buying new ones. Data loss is not a “feature.” FIX IT. 🤬 @Apple
