I wrote a blog about troubleshooting #PowerPlatform (or anything, really)

It turned into a manifesto on emotional chaos, ego, and talking to a duck in a Starfleet uniform.

Somehow… it makes sense.

How do you troubleshoot when things break? 🧩
I’ve got Geordi la Quack (yes, a Starfleet rubber duck) judging me until I fix it.
But I’m curious—what are your go-to tricks, tools, or mindsets when debugging weird stuff?

I just unlocked the Early Riser badge on #Duolingo — 100 lessons before 9 AM!

Either I’m dedicated, or Duolingo has secretly turned me into a #morning person.

Next step: learning how to function without coffee. ☕🐦😂

Such a powerful post that works for all genders ❤️

I wanted to pick a favourite quote, but there where too many. So I ask: what’s your favourite one?
Since apparently being a nice person is illegal in the US now, it’s time to pull out my most popular blog post ever.
It’s called “survival tips for women in tech”, but I’m told it works for all genders and in countless industries.

Book recommendation anyone? 🌍

With pandemics, fires, wars, and a general shift to the right, it’s tough reading the news these days. But this book gives me hope: “an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future.” 🥰

But how to break it down into simple actions for everyday life.🤔

My inner #geek is absolutely delighted when I discover a #sci-fi reference in a Microsoft Challenge....

...but does it have to be a reference to Arthur C Clarke, the inventor of Hal-9000? 👀😂

Makes it a bit creepy, don't you think?
