My year in review from ChatGPT, love it!

Through stacks, clouds,
and pipelines you steer,
Each migration a milestone this year. From EF quirks to Svelte's shining dome,
You built order from code and from home -
A craftsman of systems, both sturdy and clear.

Ohhh all the year in review things are starting to annoy me ("no I don't need a year in review of my workout app, fix your bugs instead!)" but I am going looking for this one!!

Finally getting started on our PAX cosplay... Maybe a little late to start, when it's for all four of us, but that's how we roll.

Can you guess the game? Hint: were a squad

Sadly I think they are actually engaged with a large part of their fan base, and if they go ahead with this, they will only be supporting those who perpetrate their bad culture even more

And yet, they have now confirmed they are sticking with him. Ridiculous, how are are supposed to believe the AFL actually wants to see any change in their toxic enchantment?!

It beggars belief that the AFL is persisting with the choice of Snoop Dog to provide the entertainment at the Grand Final. Misogynism and homophobia must not be condoned.

Saturday morning status: benchmarking a new function we created this week, which will currently be used in both .NET Framework 4.8.1 and .NET 8 and above.

The perf improvements in ".NET Core" is really mind-blowing 🀯

The sooner we finish our migration project the better!

Oh yeah and you have to tap on the screen to send what you say. I feel like from a quick look around, we've ended up with a subpar experience to what was first released for this feature.

Claude AI app is rolling out the beta of real time voice conversations on android, but the interrupt feature isn't working. Anyone else experiencing this?

Great trick! I've put some of my larger indoor plants into the shower for the same treatment in the past, but never thought to use the bath for all the smaller ones! I just have them all sitting on trays and water them in situ

Did you know Windows Terminal can do "split tabs"?

This is such a productivity boost if you do a lot in terminal

Alt+Shift+- and Alt+Shift++ to split
Alt+Shift+arrows will change the split width/height
Alt+arrows will move between your split
Ctrl+Sft+W to close

And mouse works to move too!

Reading a live news feed BACKWARDS on a morning like this is an experience....

Reading ahead is always the key ... that and not correcting any error that you do make - I ALWAYS struggle with that second bit! I'm a perfectionist

I know my speed has reduced over the years when typing as I think, seems I'm faster than i thought when I'm typing something that i can read ahead on.

Haha thanks impressive!! The only time I've ever hit around 115wpm has been when doing really short and repetitive things

Qwerty?

I was speaking with someone the other day at DDD By Night about typing speeds....

It had been a while, and I am always saying how much I hate my new flashy keyboard for typing. Well, it seems when I put my mind to it and concentrate, I can actually do alright still!

(QWERTY keyboard, not DVORAK)
