@RohitGulam @maestrowscki10 I'm a firm believer that people should do things that are rewarding for them, if this is it for you I'm happy for you. Personally I don't measure myself or my value by green squares. If someone was to judge me by them, or lack of them they would be missing the whole me.

@jessehouwing @github Everyone in a developer advocate or leader role should read this. The compulsive need to "measure" Ai impact can feel very much like a 2026+ version of the chasing little green boxes in commit graphs game that was pervasive not long ago. Outcomes matter, customer value matters.

[Jesse Houwing ⭐ @jessehouwing]

With the new pricing for @github Copilot I'm receiving more and more questions on how to measure the value. And the question is HARD. Scientifically proven to be hard.

Here's my opinion, supported by a number of previous studies.

@acjuelich I want this to work for digital signage but it never seems to do.

@NathanMcNulty Why lead when you can follow?

@techspence @jgmac1106 It's something that makes us with on prem friendly skill sets more valuable than ever. It's the cobol isnt "cool" to learn scenerio a bit. Cobol never went away and it now the lack of talent has business side effects. The people who do know it can almost name their own rate 💰 💰

@corg_e Pretty great, people used to know how things worked :)

@skatterbrainzz The pyramids were built with only the technology available at the time. If building another insta solved for faster than light travel we'd be doomed to never get faster than light travel.

@merill 😯 I need to check this out.

@SwiftOnSecurity Walked to a locally famous pub and had the best fish and chips I've had in recent memory.

.@Office365 Heads-up. If you have #Office365 E5 or #Microsoft365 licenses and use Microsoft Defender for Office 365, shared mailboxes must be licensed, and all user mailboxes need MDO licenses. The service description is clear, but who reads these things?

@acjuelich I worked in Australia for a while and appreciated tips being the exception not the rule. Not a labor expert there by any means but it cost more to buy groceries to cook a meal than going out to eat. Bake the wages into the cost of good sold, you don't tip at a store checkout :)

Important life lesson - if your building something and need 2x4s always buy extras. The worst outcome is you have extra 2x4s 😂

@NathanMcNulty @chrispy_sec I'm looking to take the next step with ID Governance licenses to get access reviews for entra groups that are not in APs and improved guest management. It's a great toolset!

@CFDevelop @nbevans @KylerJohnsonDev @Kaegun Gitlab quarterly report shows strong yoy growth they are trending to $1b/year in revenue some fiscal year soon? I hear what your saying though even as a fan of their platform.

Silly but when I use gh because I have to sometimes it looks like a time machine to the early 2000s 🙃

[Travis Johnson @127.0.0.1 @74type181]

@nbevans @KylerJohnsonDev @CFDevelop @Kaegun If I was forced into a retooling conversation that was going to increase my costs and disrupt my business I'd push for a vendor review. MS dba GH doesn't automatically win that $. Gitlab and others have a great platform as well.

Ignoring onprem first customers is a mistake IMO.

[Travis Johnson @127.0.0.1 @74type181]

@jefrypozo @Kaegun @CFDevelop Agreed, ADO the superior platform. It was when MS bought gh for market share and still is so many years later. Actions literally started as a fork of Azure Pipelines it's not a coincidence they look near identical lol

Best thing they ever bought? Idk, not the worst lol

[Travis Johnson @127.0.0.1 @74type181]

@skatterbrainzz Big fan that they still recognize the want to/need to self host customer base. MS is dropping the ball by ignoring that segment in Azure DevOps. GL let's you self host Duo even.
