I've been doing #dotnet for about 15 years, and have only just now learnt that char has these `Is*` methods! 🤦‍♂️ #embarrassing Useful though!

Gilfoyle makes over $6M/yr writing a newsletter about why tech newsletters are insufferable. He doesn't understand why it's so popular, and he spends his money investing in the least-popular YC hardware companies.

@davidfowl It doesn’t even need to be a full blown CI/CD revolution, just a higher-level language that compiles to yaml .. if only BiCep chose to tackle that instead of being yaml on steroids!

Autistic people are criticised for catastrophizing. The problem is not that we are wrong; thanks to our pattern recognition abilities, our predictions are usually spot on. The real issue is that we typically highlight issues that are supposed to remain hidden.

Remember: if you really want to screw over a previous employer, leave overwhelmingly *positive* reviews on Glassdoor, mentioning wildly inflated salary and benefits.

Insidious, ain’t it?

I've said this before but I'm saying it again: when you're looking at your job, you should have:

- Good pay
- Good culture
- Good growth opportunities

If you have 2/3, it's not too bad, but 0 or 1/3, you might want to question why you're still at that job.

SQL was never the problem & the biggest ORM mistake was not to allow devs to build queries in SQL.

ORMs solved the ongoing issues of updating class/table mapping & replaced all the different adapters for different DBs/Languages/Frameworks .. then it spiralled to what it is today

[darren @darrenjr]

Since when was SQL so hard that we decided gigantic abstractions like ORMs were a good idea?

Wtf? A new AWS account has a default Lambda concurrency limit of 10 (!) and an increase to 100 requires "collaboration with the service team"??

My brother in cloud, my other accounts have a default limit of 1000. I feel bad for this service team, if this is their daily job.

RIP Delve.

You showed us the magic that the Graph could bring. You brought great shame to those without governance. You helped us share our skills.

May you rest well with our friend Clippy up above.

Lots of people use the “Jack of all trades, master of none” in a degrading manner.

A reminder that the full saying is this:

“Jack of all trades, master of none,
Oftentimes better than master of one.”

It’s how it’s meant to be used and quoted if you do :)
