So I don't feel like this should be controversial, but Alexa shouldn't play a fun little rustling noise periodically around 1:30 am to indicate that there's some sort of new Amazon offer. That makes me search my home for intruders, not desire to buy something

Just noticing, but Twitter got a lot worse and seems to be spelled differently these days. Who did what? Put it back please

Shameless share/challenge, give it a try! But also, just play this game sometime. It was genuinely so enjoyable both as a first playthrough and a speedrun. I'll always advocate for this gem. 🗡️

Anyone else ever get the urge to respond to bill collection scam messages with: "Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll get it taken care of right away, thank you. Also, I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended auto warranty..."

A few days ago, I shared a screenshot of an update that we are working on for dev tunnels in @VisualStudio. Now I have created a short video covering the updates in more details. This hasn't been released yet but will be soon. youtu.be/wKm34br-Zpg

Even through the arguments such things inspire, feels good to find ways of reducing 6 months of hand wavy scary work into a couple weeks of well understood tasks

Hit 100 subscribers on YouTube this morning, huzzahhh 🎉
It's mostly a home for VODs from twitch, but I edit (minimally) them all myself, and it's a good place for some cozy retro background noise or adventure playthrough watchin'. :)

Was just discussing this with my team. @mkristensen have any extensions that throw up a jump scare if someone adds a new reference to an obsolete member?

SchemaStore.org now serves 700 GB of JSON Schema files daily. A combination of more schemas and more people using compatible editors/IDEs explain the steady growth.
And pull request #2500 got merged this week, so thank you all!!

What are your favorite Xbox Series X games? Ones that are better on that console than on others

If you're curious about how the Visual Studio and .NET teams made JSON Schema mainstream among developers, IDEs, and editors, check out this video: youtu.be/-yYTxLZZk58?t=282

Hello friends,
With all these big tech freezes, I wonder if you folks can share interesting open engineering, product and management positions. I have a few talented friends looking to switch jobs, and figured my network might know better.
(Not for me, I am on hiatus)
