The both great and frustrating thing about conferences like #TechBash is that afterwards, you have tons of notes, URLs, GitHub repos, slides, and many many rabbit-holes to further explore, a wealth of resources that you hope to have the time to revisit and implement...

Why does everything feel fake?

We have a Congress that won't pass something 83% people want.

We have courts that release criminals faster than police can arrest them.

We have schools that graduate kids who can’t read.

We have colleges that charge $200K for degrees that don’t get you jobs.

We have a non-profit system that profits from our tax dollars.

We have a health care industry that profits from you staying sick.

We have “representatives” who don’t represent us.

We have “news” networks that report opinions and call them facts.

We have an insurance industry that fights every single claim.

None of it works the way they tell you it works.

And deep down, everyone knows it.

It just all feels so so fake…

Just watched @1kevgriff presentation on “Building MCP Servers in .NET” at #TechBash; probably the most practical/useful session I’ve attended thus far this year.

In this post, I guess this's the last time I'll say it. AI use is no longer optional if you wish to be employed. What follows is advice for current employees and hiring managers on how to hire in 2026 to source AI-first candidates.

A little while ago, I asked what features and tweaks you wanted to see coming to Visual Studio. One of them was a file system view alongside Solution Explorer. This is now available in the Insiders build

Elon Musk described the mechanism that lets millions of intelligent people arrive at the same conclusion without a single independent input between them.

Musk: “If your entire exposure is to legacy mainstream media, so that all your information sources are that Trump is basically Hitler, and your friend group has that same information, you have no countervailing opinion.”

One source, repeated back by a friend group drawing on that same source, is a single input arriving twelve times.

Agreement gets counted as evidence.

A belief that has never met resistance feels, from the inside, identical to one that survived it. That is why almost nobody catches it in themselves.

Musk: “Then they actually just think Trump is Hitler, even though it’s a little strange he didn’t do Hitler things the last four years.”

The comparison had four years of executive power to prove itself and produced nothing.

The belief held anyway.

Any description of a person that survives the total absence of supporting events was never built on events.

Then the same apparatus turned on the man saying it.

He spent a decade celebrated as the builder of the electric car company and the rocket company that put American astronauts back in orbit from American soil.

The engineering never changed. His politics did, and the coverage inverted inside a single news cycle.

Output was never the variable being measured.

No conspiracy is required. Outrage outperforms accuracy on every number a newsroom is graded on.

Thousands of people chasing one incentive produce coordination nobody had to organize.

The arrangement collapsed when the layer between the source and the reader disappeared.

The person who was in the room posts it, and the correction comes from someone else who was in the room.

It is louder, uglier, and far more honest.

Contradiction now arrives whether you invite it or not. Even the owner of the platform gets corrected on his own posts by his own product.

For most of the last century a few dozen editors decided what an entire country believed had happened that day. People accepted it as the natural order because no alternative had ever existed to measure it against.

Every civilization inherits its picture of reality from whoever controls the distance between an event and the people who hear about it.

That distance is now close to zero for the first time in human history.

The filter is gone and it cannot be rebuilt. What you believe is finally yours.
