Friday night was tiki bar and women’s football! Also @racingloufc.com won 2-0!
It was an even bigger win for them. They now understand the why of the products they're designing for, not just the how.
As a side project at work this year, I started a study group for the Azure Database UX Designers. We went through the Azure Data Fundamentals materials. Multiple UX designers passed this exam because I taught them, despite only one having a background in data. That was a huge win for me!
I really really really really REALLY miss training people, and creating materials to train people. It has always been the favorite part of my job.
I've thoroughly enjoyed a Friday afternoon with no (!!!) meetings and created wonderful diagrams to illustrate the many ways ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly can be used with Azure SQL DB/SQL MI.
People make computers so that checks out.
Computers are terrible.
I thought that was Excel.
I am VERY excited about this non-IPA offering.
"We need to recover data from an Access 1997 database" are words I never thought I'd hear again, but here we are.
The fucking table of contents in Microsoft documentation moved AGAIN.
