I feel like people do not fully understand how much life changed for our species between 1900 and 2000.

I still struggle to comprehend it.

These events are 66 years apart.

[Sam Lester @SQLSamLester]

@JeromeHardaway Agreed. I hope Ben finishes it early.

@crandycodes Not entirely tutorial, but still one of my all-time favs, the Azure Search JFK Files. https://t.co/XbTN7QwnhE

Advice for jr. devs:

Interviewing as an engineer is hard, and for many folks takes practice. Learn from each interview you do, and improve on what you learned in each one. Whiteboarding and talking through tech solutions is a skill that takes practice. Be kind to yourself! 💙❤️

As a programmer, I find this offensive

[Azure Cosmos DB @AzureCosmosDB]

It's Saturday and you're reading Twitter?

Here go watch @markjbrown 's video on Consistency Models and learn how data behaves in a distributed database.

Twitter will still be here when you get back.

[Mark Brown @markjbrown]

Do you like hand forming Json and calling New-AzResource to manage Cosmos DB resources?

Yeah, me neither. That's why we created all new PowerShell cmdlets!!!

Yesterday was the saddest day in the history of @Twitter

The whole country needs to stop right now and listen to Killer Mike. He’s verbalizing what a lot of us don’t know how to express

Whoa! Today is the 30-year anniversary of #Microsoft Solitaire, which debuted in Windows 3.0!
