Don't assume your employer will provide all the hardware and/or service resources needed to complete your job effectively. I've realized over time that 2-5% of my salary will always need to go towards covering the gap.

It's mainly frustrating when resources are not equally provided, followed by the use of employee efficiency in reviews. Employees who aren't covering the gap with their own money are going to end up docked in productivity reviews.

Perhaps a solution here would be allowing two of the wired switches to be linked. The secondary unit (which is connected to always-on power) has no load attached, and instead is linked to the primary switch wirelessly and shows the same LED indicators.

I'm so embarrassed by @Microsoft adding a subscription model to solitaire via Microsoft Solitaire Collection. For anyone else who's lost hours explaining to another generation why they shouldn't click on the ads, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. ☹️

This is a good example of where everyone benefits by publicly documenting something instead of just writing something in an internal employee resource document. 👍

I thought I was a big fan of integration tests minimizing mocks for accurate testing of real world conditions, but @hbomax takes it to the next level 😂

I love when I'm in an internal meeting, and the presenter is talking about how much they care being the best on some topic that I remember was really useful to me back when I was just a customer.

Pro-tip: Software developers on Windows should enable automatic local crash dumps for applications they work on, to allow post-mortem investigation of bugs proving difficult to reproduce: gist.github.com/sharwell/95d…

I'll take "credit" for this one. 😂 It'll be tamed for the 16.6 Preview 3 release, but in the meantime we'd love to hear what works and what doesn't!

Tonight's dinner, halfway through the cook as it goes into the wrap. 🤤 My first attempt, so kept it rather simple.

Interested in trying the new Nullable Reference Types features but stuck with .NET Framework (desktop) or older .NET Standard targets? I built an experimental tool to use the latest annotated features from the core libraries: github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/…

If you run a system with many processors (16 ), you may find Server GC improves Visual Studio responsiveness. The difference I observed on Threadripper 2 was substantial: gist.github.com/sharwell/a79…

Today's task: searching "gacutil microsoft․build.framework" to find people who are breaking Visual Studio. It's never a good idea to GAC assemblies that you didn't originally publish. The original authors' versioning policies likely depend on this for correctness.

Maybe it's just me, but on a subjective interview question I would much rather a candidate answer according to how they see it than attempt to give an answer they think I want to hear.
