@tannerelectric - Another outage, no updates or acknowledgement for hours. Really tired of this monopoly of incompetence.

@coacholaipaye @TheFigen_ Fun fact about this person, they don't know much, if anything about apples. Apples produce pectin, which is wax, which is what burns when you light a candle.

@shanselman This is only half the fun, there's a lot of cruff and duplicates in those packages that needs to be cleaned up after downloading :/

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@m3sweatt @Microsoft Wow congrats, only casually know you from some random emails we were on. But, your unique name always jumped out over the years :). Enjoy your time, well earned.

Just sending some love out to tech family and all impacted by the #Microsoftlayoffs #googlelayoffs and #amazonlayoffs.

Come on, might have been a top five catch...

@sytelus Don't agree, creating an elegant design that can be distributed to a team is very productive. Also, if you are creating DTOs/boilerplate you can easily exceed 2k loc. Is that dev more productive than a dev writing core logic? Tests? Mentoring? Loc can't be the only measure.

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@kclemson WTF?

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@shanselman I'd love to do this.

@stfn42 @SScottGibbs Parsed this thread to find some ideas as I'm in a similar boat with a 5yo. Not finding much other than "power through", "kid is my down time" or "I bike for 5 hours on the weekend (come on, really?)". What people are saying to me is there's no solution.

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@theessentialbug @Microsoft Welcome!

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@xsgames_ Jarts seemed like a good idea

@ElJefeDSecurIT I buried the lead. Next to it is a newer (3yo) wide screen monitor I got when, you guess it, I worked in MS Research :).

[Rick R @RickRogahn]

@ElJefeDSecurIT An actual monitor currently on my desk...release date: 2007

@SeanOnTwt @parkrrrr @shonadelie @Microsoft @CREMicrosoft Funny, I was on one of the first teams that moved into building 36 (aka the Office battleship :)). Fun fact, if you followed the original path down to the bottom of the parking garage, it was 1 mile. :)

@jeffteper Happy birthday Tahoe! What a great project and group of people to work with to start my career :)

I don't think I'm doing this right... :)
