Max was behind Ocon in the pit exit but over took him when joining the track under safety car - how is that allowed? @tedkravitz #Formula1

@iamsmarta Same here 😅

@bethechannel please fix the email unsubscribe - I've lost count of the number of times I've clicked it only to be sent another email the following week, it's getting annoying now

On my first work trip to Paris to visit my @Spendesk colleagues irl for the first time. It hadn’t occurred to me that there’d also be families travelling to Disney land. Making me miss my boy already 😢

Just been made to feel like a criminal for not knowing I needed to obtain my boarding pass before queuing for check in @easyJet

Yes, there are signs that say you need it, but absolutely nothing to explain how tf to get it for someone who doesn’t fly very often

@TheLastLeg it’s got to be a slightly undercooked flobby fried egg #friedeggvirgin

@RachelAppel Union types would be so powerful in C#. It’s one of my favourite features in TS

@pen_harrison @MercedesAMGF1 What! 😱 that’s amazing news @pen_harrison congratulations 👏

@dhlexpressuk It’s ok, my package arrived this morning, a full 24 hours late. It seems the only way to talk to someone in customer service is publicly via Twitter. Not ideal really

[Simon @simonchildsdev]

hey @dhlexpressuk 👋 how does this work:
1. Scheduled delivery for between 09:00 to 13:00
2. 13:00 comes, no delivery
3. At 16:37 shipment is updated with "Delivery attempt could not be completed"...

I work from home... there was no delivery attempt

[Simon @simonchildsdev]

@pen_harrison @WSeriesRacing That is an epically good gift 😍

[Simon @simonchildsdev]

Loved that. NineNine! #GoodbyeB99

ROI shouldn’t be just about money

On the train back to Cardiff, someone needed to buy a ticket on the train.

London to Cardiff : £152 😱

@kristianbrimble I used to quite like writing a post mortem, it’s a bit cathartic.

😄 don’t worry I do the same thing. Things are good mate

[Simon @simonchildsdev]

@kristianbrimble Sounds fun 🙃

I started building @clearbenchmark nearly 2 years ago using .NET Core 3.1 and then .NET5

Tonight, I went all in and upgraded to .NET6 as well as upgrading all packages to the latest version 💪

Apart from a few little breaking changes it was smooth 🚀

I’m late to the party, but how good is @NotionHQ 🤯

[Simon @simonchildsdev]

binding redirect errors in .net framework are the biggest pain in the ass. I still don't quite understand why my IDE keeps putting them in, 99% of the time the fix is to just remove the whole dependentAssembly node #dotnet #dotnetframework
