@sandertenbrinke @mkristensen Yes, the .NET library behind SSDT and the other declarative dev tooling focuses on SQL Server/Azure SQL

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

@ale_poy @mkristensen No changes planned for SSIS projects (dtproj), sorry.

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

The cats out of the bag - the long awaited arrival of the SDK for SQL projects in Visual Studio is coming *soon*. More docs and info in the works, but meanwhile you can connect with us at https://t.co/WHGdrsFV74

[Mads Kristensen @mkristensen]

For all the Visual Studio users out there using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT): you'll be able to use the SDK-style project file format for your SSDT projects with all its benefits.

Coming soon...

It took too long for me to regularly use 2 entries in the VS Code explorer context menu that make working in the terminal more efficient
1️⃣"open in integrated terminal" (navigate quickly to a deeply nested folder)
2️⃣"copy relative path" (get a specific path right the first time)

The sun rises on a new week, and we’ll be supervising from the window.

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

“Bonded pair” is such a funny expression for dogs to indicate their codependence and willingness to shove one another out of the precious sunshine.
(Yes, paws on the window, it’s never clean)

Ezi Magbegor preseason 22 now 12
Heck yes

[ESPN Women's Hoops @ESPN_WomenHoop]

Before the WNBA resumes Thursday, we update our ranking of the 25 best players in the league. No. 1 was no debate. But where do Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark rank? Dearica Hamby, Kayla McBride and Chennedy Carter also break in.

@cloudsider @mkristensen where do you like to edit your SQL?

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

@pshore73 tbh there's a cougar around so I had a brief panic before going for the phone making sure I got the animal id right

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

I was working around the fire pit in the back backyard when a rabbit startled me by hurtling up the hill towards the house (and me). Turns out it was being chased by a bobcat that gave up when it noticed me.

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

Filmed a little something in the studios yesterday during #vslive! Can’t wait for folks to see what’s in the pipeline.

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

I added a new shell alias -> alias bu="brew update && brew upgrade && brew cleanup"
What aliases do you use on a regular basis?

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

@ErikEJ 🎉 a DAB setup process so easy even I can use it!

If you're building containers with docker and have enabled experimental features - you may want to disable SBOM indexing (unless you know you need it).
Scout runs outside of the limits you set on the engine and will take 8-16GB of ram. https://t.co/ECZC0YGx0s

Part of the mulch project was the berry patch and the blueberry bushes are already saying thanks with plenty of berries 🫐
It’s amazing what survives my near negligence.

[Drew Skwiers-Koballa @SysAdminDrew]

Getting close to the end of the pile. 20yds of mulch and 1 long weekend.

vi is often just what I need for file/script editing - and I find myself using it more for quick changes now with the copilot plugin installed. There'a a lot of places I don't enjoy the current user interfaces to AI, but this one feels good. https://t.co/hjIYCUiOWp
