Shot - Chaser Jokes aside, I still love GitHub and don’t blame THEIR A.I. use for stability issues. They’ve said GitHub usage has exploded, which I assume is because of all the A.I. features they added to the platform for everyone else to use. Downtime seems inevitable for the foreseeable future.
I often wonder how many people swipe away from the Log Level Debug clips on YouTube/Instagram/TicTok thinking it's a serious news program.
Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? There were some good films that year, but one clear winner.
Excited, humbled, flabbergasted, grateful, and 2+ other adjectives, to find out I was just accepted into the Microsoft MVP program for .NET. I especially want to thank Esteban Garcia for nominating me into the program. #MVPBuzz
Even LinkedIn knows people are posting too much A.I. slop. It's a valid reason to complain about a post.
It'll be a long time before I stop paying Microsoft for Office just because the OneDrive storage is worth the cost. But throwing ads like this in Office has me looking for different desktop office apps.
I guess we're all asking Google how many Ps are in our name? It got part of the answer right
Got your QR Code here! Scan your QR Code! #OrlandoCodeCamp discord server
There are! This is the first one I saw, but I'm sure there are others in the schedule www.orlandocodecamp.com/sessions
I've been helping organize a conference and we got some A.I. spam submissions. Glad to know the spam filter email worked.
Scrolling through LinkedIn's People You May Know and realizing how professional everyone makes their account look.
Before everyone was using A.I. tools, I would have said 15-20% of my code was generated by code complete. This doesn't seem like a valuable gain.
Weird that every time I do a search like this it comes back with 0 results. Guess I'll have to flip a coin to decide if I'll play the game or not.
Well, I'll still play Pokemon FireRed. But it won't be as fun.
Bought this cursed A.I. generated towel at the Orlando airport. The lady tried to give me one that was correct (said this was a printing error), and didn't understand why I wanted this one instead.
Sorry to brag, but I don't do all this free work for nothing. Top 3%! Top 3%! For personal reasons, I'll wind down the speaking in 2027 by a lot, so I'm hoping to pack 2026 with more sessions. This includes meetups and podcasts, if you're looking for people.
Only using GitHub for personal stuff makes the GitHub Unwrapped kinda weird. 1 whole PR Merged all year!
44 days 16 hours listening to podcasts this year. No, I don't think I have a problem.
Still a lot of work to do, but these lighthouse scores feel great for a backend developer.
The disappointing news just keeps coming this weekend.
Refreshing my memory of characters before the new Fantastic Four movie.
