Here’s Trump claiming that Governor Kemp is having a hard time reaching President Biden

And here’s Governor Kemp saying President Biden called him yesterday. Kemp adds: He offered that if there's other things we need, just to call him directly, which, I appreciate that.

This @dhh interview on the @aarondfrancis channel is great, go listen to it! https://t.co/ovrGUEoSKn

My favorite quote:
"If a dedicated team comes in and picks very simple tools, and they operate in a box of 3-4 people and they commit to the simplicity of that.. they're gonna run circles around almost anyone."

Many in our industry have been hypnotized into believing that everything needs layers and layers of complexity (and staffing!) that aren't *really* necessary.

Small, focused teams will always be able to outmaneuver big clunky organizations. 🤓

I’ve been away from the .NET space for almost a decade but I’m back and I’m already fighting against folks who want to implement Event Sourcing architecture to solve something that 25kb of ints will solve the problem.

.NET architects are obsessed with styles of architectures.

The thing to know about merchants of complexity is that they never go away, they merely migrate. From WS-DeathStar to microservices to premature k8s to auth services to GraphQL and beyond. There's always a new insecurity popping up to prey on. https://t.co/7YfcYYbmeQ

This is an absolutely bonkers story about how former Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse has spent millions of dollars as U of Florida's new president hiring his former staffers for made-up, insanely high paid *remote* jobs at the university. https://t.co/1kdfmUhzKj

@Jalopnik You guys need to stuff another ad on here.

@Mail_Gun Thank you!

@Mail_Gun I have an open ticket related to Sinch login that is preventing me from accessing my account. It has been days with no response from your support team. Can you please help me?

[Eric Coffman @ericdc1]

Some lady felt sick on the plane before take off so they let her off to get checked out. 45 minutes later she came back then realized she lost her phone so they let her back off to go find it.
This is why every single flight I took over the last few days was delayed. #Southwest

@pierskarsenbarg @DevLeaderCa @sinclairinat0r I have pretty successful SAAS that did just this for the first 1000+ databases (db per tenant) and it worked just fine.

Recently switched to an Octopus Deploy step as a process improvement but the velocity not having to deal with this the first few years was worth it.

@AzureSupport @cjregan If you are on here tweet replying that there is an outage why is it not listed on the status page? Why do I have to go to Twitter to find out about outages?

[Eric Coffman @ericdc1]

@AzureSupport @JSleik Why is there NOTHING on the https://t.co/PwFO508f5q page about this at all?

The last email telling me you had an outage said "The next update will be provided in 2 hours" and that was over 3 hours ago.

[Eric Coffman @ericdc1]

CWG and the band on Kimmel was pretty rad.

Anyone else having trouble with Azure tonight?

@bitmapped I had a small box shipped via USPS from NC that took 15 days to arrive. It went from NY to NJ 3 times, didn’t move for 7 days, then Philly to Pittsburgh and back again before finally arriving.

@Jalopnik I used to go to Jalopnik first thing every day. I stuck around as you crossed 50% of the screen covered in ads. You have now jumped the shark. 100% of the screen is ads with zero content. Unreal.

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a miracle or a conspiracy.

@emilyebaldwin @mandrillapp I am seeing errors as well
