https://t.co/ivj6P48rU4 now serves 1.6 TB of data every single day, and that number just keeps going up. Pretty much all modern IDEs and editors consume it for both JSON, YAML, and TOML schemas. It's mind-blowing to me.

Thank you, Microsoft, for sponsoring the massive amount of traffic, and thanks to the thousands of contributors, and a special thanks to @hyperupcall for helping to manage it all ❤️

If you had to pick between an in-editor experience (like this one) or a browser based one (like Swagger UI) which would you pick for local API testing?

Jesse Owens of USA winning gold for the long jump in the summer Olympics in Germany, 1936.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The man saluting behind Owens is Lutz Long, a German who shared training tips with Owens and was the first to openly congratulate him after his final jump in full view of Hitler.

After the Olympics, the two kept in touch via mail. Below is Long's last letter to Owens while he was stationed with the German Army in North Africa during World War 2. Long was later killed in action during the allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

"I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.⁣⁣

My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me.

It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

I think I might believe in God.⁣⁣ And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Your brother,⁣⁣ Luz"⁣⁣

Watching engineers trying to rewire their brains to undo things they learnt to do because .NET and C# worked “a certain way” in the past has been illuminating. #dotnet

With all the GPT4-will-change-everything hype and fanfare happening now, it is worth mentioning that I just had to deal with some rural contractors that DIDN’T HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES. The system of the world has more inertia than it sometimes seems.

After 22+ awesome years at Microsoft (18+ of which were awesome in a good way 😂 ), it is time for me to try something new.

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such incredible people and to work on things that matter.

My last day will be Friday, July 1st.
