David Parnas famously said that "one bad programmer can easily create two new jobs a year". Now imagine what one bad programmer with Claude Code can do.

I recently did a talk on internet safety for parents/guardians and it was well received by those in the room. Its honestly the toughest talk I have researched and given. It might help you if you have kids or you are the local tech support for people with small humans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgF5...

Watching this should be mandatory for parents. Especially before they let their pre-teen on Roblox and Snapchat.

I keep seeing cases where orgs want to introduce observability to their applications, but almost as a tick box exercise. They want to enable the zero-code instrumentation and call it job done. I wish more saw this step as the start of the journey, not the end. #observability #dotnet #opentelemetry

Short excerpts from an Atlantic article subtitled "The False Promise of AI Companionship": www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Friction is inevitable in human relationships. It can be uncomfortable, even maddening. Yet friction can be meaningful—as a check on selfish behavior or inflated self-regard; as a spur to look more closely at other people; as a way to better understand the foibles and fears we all share. Neither Ani nor any other chatbot will ever tell you it’s bored or glance at its phone while you're talking or tell you to stop being so stupid and self-righteous. They will never ask you to pet-sit or help them move, or demand anything at all from you. They provide some facsimile of companionship while allowing users to avoid uncomfortable interactions or reciprocity. “In the extreme, it can become this hall of mirrors where your worldview is never challenged,” Vasan said. And so, although chatbots may be built on the familiar architecture of engagement, they enable something new: They allow you to talk forever to no one other than yourself. “Every time theres been a new technology, it’s rewired socialization, especially for kids,” Vasan told me. “TV made kids passive spectators. Social media turned things into this 24/7 performance review.” In that respect, generative Al is following a familiar pattern. But the more time children spend with chatbots, the fewer opportunities they'll have to develop alongside other people—and, as opposed to all the digital distractions that have existed for decades, they may be fooled by the technology into thinking that they are, in fact, having a social experience.

TIL how to FOCUS the Visual Studio Code hover window.

I've long known that Ctrl+k,Ctrl+i shows hover information (e.g. type, documentation), but this hover window sometimes contains so much text that you have to scroll it. How to do that without the mouse? Press Ctrl+k,Ctrl+i again!

If all these developers get their best ideas in the shower. Then maybe they should install more showers to get people back into office.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support!

.http files are super convenient when working with APIs. They allow you to quickly issue API requests with little abstraction helping you understand what's going over the wire.
