Working on (open) SW/HW for fun, glory and occasionally profit at @HP. Ex @Microsoft, ex @Nokia. Personal account. All non-silly tweets/opinions are my own.
The React Native team at Facebook is building a new sub-team to support React Native Windows and macOS in close collaboration with Microsoft. If you have experience building native Windows and macOS applications or frameworks, we are hiring! DM @Eli_White

Note to self - find an (air) travel-friendly set of torx screwdrivers. It's amazing how hard it can get to find them locally, and when you need them - you need them bad.

@Bron4444 Office quite alive and kind of straddling both consumer/enterprise worlds. Also, let's pretend Windows 10 is consumer SW Microsoft hasn't given up on :)
RIP MS Band. I actually liked the form factor and the willingness to push the envelope in an imagination-stripped 'if it's on your arm, it must be a watch' world #BetterHorses I repaired the HW many times, but in the end, it's always the SW that kills you.
A requirement for regex support of mixed Right-To-Left / Left-To-Right strings is nothing short of a request to re-evaluate the continuousness of the Space-time continuum https://t.co/opPDN5mZXH
@tompaana I guess the point is that nowadays (all?) languages evolve (C# included) instead of a fast evolutionary phase followed by prolonged fossilisation when it gets widespread. The annoying part is when people choose tech A today because they didn't like B in the 90s.

@tompaana I think C# was largely seen as the MSFT answer to early Java, the critique mostly being on the level of .NET tied to x86 and Windows (which is also #ObsoleteCriticism today as C# has OSS compilers and is supported even on Android/iOS).
21st century security: when you're asked to send in your SSN, DOB and address in plain email because the password reset page doesn't work. Good thing it's nothing serious, only your pension plan.
