I think I'm finally bored of funemployment and ready for something new.

Hit me up if you know of anyone looking for a solid desktop or backend .NET Senior Software Engineer.

I prefer startups or smaller companies, but whatever.

Took a few days to process privately, but Microsoft laid me off this week. Haven't really started thinking about what comes next yet, but feel free to point me to any C# backend/tooling openings you know of! 🤗

@redth @davidortinau @Cayas_Software @maddymontaquila @JonathanPeppers @moljacsharp This error would be from the C# compiler, so whatever VSCode would normally do applies. I would assume clicking on compiler errors take you to the code. 🤷‍♂️

@praeclarum Do you ever sleep?

@jbevain @unity Hah, no. This seemed like the new generation of Unity hires. I don't think they even knew what Mono was. 😁

[Jonathan Pobst @jpobst]

Randomly met a @unity employee at 2 separate, non-tech outings this week. 🤷‍♂️

@terrajobst Just makes it clear that it was not a necessary or strategic cut. It was simply a nod to shareholders.

[Jonathan Pobst @jpobst]

@jtclancey @terrajobst @praeclarum @jonlipsky I think it's related to needing to build Xamarin with Mono, and net 6/7 with .NET 6+.

ChatGPT is weird, in that it knows the correct answer, but chooses not to use it.

I guess for enough money you can be the main character of Twitter every day.

While it of course sucks that Tennessee has been so extremely gerrymandered that we no longer have any say in our "democracy", it is nice that we don't have political ads either.

@toddanglin This graphic looks like a Trapper Keeper from the 90's. 🤣

Lowe's has their Christmas decorations out for sale, so we have definitely lost the war on Christmas.

That feeling when you visit Reddit and one of your projects is on there. 🤗
