The magic words you’ve been looking for when Claude Code starts repeatedly calling sed and perl: “Just delegate to a Haiku subagent”.

@Andr3jH VCs promote the idea of startups being a young man’s game because they are preying on a youthful naivety that allows them to suck all the value out of companies in exchange for options that will likely be worthless.

@shaoruu @cursor_ai Add a hotkey to add the file where a class is defined to context. (It automatically adds the file you are in to the context, but now I need to right click go to definition, then it removes the original file from context, it’s annoying)

@yishan Yes, it will be bought by another holding company with dairy farms, which become its exclusive supplier. They will install a CEO who will run a promotion called “all you can eat butter”. Also, they will sell all their ovens and rent the back at twice the market rate.

@amazonhelp - I keep receiving endless scam text messages from https://t.co/HQn2y1oLC8

@stevedrees @geerlingguy @Microsoft @Google @amazon @stevedrees - I understand the frustration, for issues like this one regarding Microsoft's identity platform: We do monitor stackoverflow, MSAL issues in github, and we do offer support tickets in https://t.co/4pkCBozx4N.

[Saeed Akhter @saeedakhter]

@geerlingguy Reading through your (very detailed) blog post as well. I'll loop in some engineers on Monday to investigate. If we need more information from you next week can I reach out to you privately?

[Saeed Akhter @saeedakhter]

@geerlingguy Hi Jeff, I'm a lead product manager on Microsoft's identity platform. Sorry to hear about your poor experience. There's no way to "take over" a personal account, but a personal account can be "guested" into an Azure AD directory- could be confusing a downstream service...

@SaeedAkhterMSFT @Alex_A_Simons @ProfessorShonku @matvelloso Accidently replied with my old twitter handle. @saeedakhter is the right one going forward. :)

"Are there best practices for asking permission to user data in Microsoft Graph?" and "How do I use MSAL to implement incremental consent?"

We cover these topics in detail in the breakout session!https://t.co/gVZsK1lPHz

[Saeed Akhter @saeedakhter]

Watch "Simplifying your app's user sign in with the Microsoft identity platform" from Build 2019 where Lesia and I walk through the platform and show some awesome demos! https://t.co/Ug4fOIZMkt

[Saeed Akhter @saeedakhter]

@kdawg02 @jeremywhiteley @ScottCate @nthonyChu @Azure It depends on the app registration of the API you are calling. If you open the API’s app registration and go to ‘manifest’ there is a property called accessTokenAcceptedVersion if it is set to 1 or null, then requests for this resource from v2 endpoint returns v1 access token

[Saeed Akhter @saeedakhter]

@kdawg02 @jeremywhiteley @ScottCate @nthonyChu @Azure We are actively working with the App Services/Easy Auth team and they are rolling out a feature to accept V2 Access Tokens, docs to update soon. BTW, MSAL is a superset - it can request v1 access tokes or v2 access tokens. It automatically gets the right token from v2 endpoint

[Matthijs Hoekstra @mahoekst]

Visual Studio 2019 is using https://t.co/GIkueY0C4t, Apple is using our V2 endpoint. Graph Explorer is using MSAL.JS yay #msbuild #microsoftidentityplatform

[Yina Arenas @yina_arenas]

This is one of the best news for Microsoft 365 developers at #MSBuild, General availability of the Microsoft Authentication Libraries in .NET and JavaScript, with support for work, school and personal accounts. #MicrosoftGraph explorer and samples are already using MSAL libraries
