Yeah I think you're right, probably somewhere where you can start with a smaller group who get to form stronger connections (as opposed to the drive-by, shout at people you barely know, default mode of social media)
Yes. Actually connecting, that's the difference!
Hope you're well 🤗
It's a platform which hosts many different communities.
Best way to get started is via the discovery page.
Search for a hobby/interest/subject, find a free group, or paid if you fancy, and click the button to join that community.
www.skool.com
This feels like the right time to nudge people towards Skool if you feel the same as Kelsey articulates here.
I run a couple of communities over there, am a member of many more, and can honestly say I've formed more new friendships in 5 months on Skool than I ever did spending time on social media.
The closest I have found is Skool.
I run a couple of communities there and have now met many, many people, and formed strong connections via posts/comments/DMs and IRL events.
Soon after joining one Skool community I flew to Germany (from the UK) to meet up with other members.
It gives me hope!
100% it's truly horrendous. Many of the games on the stores are essentially minimal effort ad 'wrappers'.
I have had some success with running PiHole on my home network. Seems to do a pretty good job at blocking a lot of them...
Blazor Server Reconnection Gets an Upgrade in .NET 10 by @jonhilton.net jonhilton.net/blazor-serve... #aspnetcore #blazor
Screenshot of web page showing generated test content. The interface displays a markdown file structure with test video links. One of the test videos selected by Claude AI is titled 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley - the famous Rickroll video, which appears to be Claude's humorous choice for test content.
Testing using GitHub's Spec Kit to create a spec for a small project I'm working on.
As part of this it created some test content (basically markdown files with text and optional video links).
Interesting choice of test video there Claude...

In this blog post, we explain how a new TLS certificate and unique local domains can solve cookie conflicts and better mimic production environments.

Well thanks a lot Storage Sense…
Set out to do a super quick proof of concept using .NET Aspire this morning.
3 hours later I'm nearly ready to give it a go!
Where did the 3 hours go? Faffing about trying to get logged in to the correct MS accounts and directories in VS and Azure so I can deploy the damn thing… 😩
Thank you! I gave up on Twitter this evening. Always unlikely we'd sign many on the last day.
Like you, I get the mood, but the signs were there on Saturday that this team can do better than they're currently managing.
Can we score enough goals? That's the biggest unknown for me.
Wait, I thought the future of shopping was a virtual 3D world where you had to navigate around a virtual space and select the things you want to buy?
I wish they'd just make their minds up honestly!!
If you ever find yourself doubting your abilities, thank that part of you for trying to keep you safe.
Then ask it, politely, to let you focus on the job at hand.
You've got this 👊
Negative self talk prevails.
"This is taking too long",
"You've architected this badly",
"That's some of the worst code I've EVER seen!"
But you know what?
Deep down, I know it's just shame, and fear, and all those other by-products of human evolution.
At one point there were a handful of popular Red Dwarf fan sites, and mine was one of them.
And it set me on a path.
I've now been coding, professionally, for 25 years...
But to this day, I doubt myself all the time.
I started building web apps when I was 16, in my bedroom.
The first site I ever built was, objectively terrible (works with Netscape Navigator!)
But I learned so much.
The fundamentals of HTML, how to write copy, marketing (sharing the site with others, in forums etc.)
Yeah feels like there has to be a new target man incoming…
Ha ha, been there with something like this.
Demoing a feature to a higher up, who questioned the slow performance.
We spent ages looking everywhere for the problem.
Everywhere except the line where we'd hardcoded a delay during testing 🤦

As my brother noted yesterday, there are similarities here to that Cotteril season where we started terribly, and he eventually abandoned the style of play he was trying to implement because the players weren't up to it (and started going much more direct etc)

I credit these two with many of the successes I've enjoyed in the last 9 or so years…

Tomorrow, Dev Builders community members get to ask them anything about building and marketing their 'thing', and I can't wait!

Very excited to be hosting Alex Hillman and Amy Hoy for a live QnA in Dev Builders later this week…
Excited/nervous!😅

Right, and then capture those tests into a repeatable spec so you can rely on them rather than hoping AI catches the right things every time...
If you're integrating AI into your web applications it can be a pain to write all the code to switch between different LLMs and models.
So far I'm finding Microsoft's AI Extensions provide a useful level of abstraction to minimise that problem.
