For the last couple of months I've been pretty burnt out on work and the world. Although it only took a bit of parsing a binary file and spitting out some graphs to cheer me right up again

The more I read, the more I feel this was a giant grift. The site was intentionally poor to drive people to it to see how poor it was.

The sites purpose: "Turn anonymous website visitors into B2B leads.

Identify companies visiting your website and get access to decision-makers’ emails."

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?"
Me: "That's the documentation deliverable."
Manager: "What's the status of that?"
Me: "We're halfway there"
Manager: "Why is progress so slow?"
Me: "You fired Tommy"
Manager: "So?"
Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

I love developer curiosity. I was talking to a devops colleague about using open telemetry, but we may need to change how we collect metrics.

"Oh! One of my team has done a PoC for using open telemetry!"

Particularly cold day in the office, so I turned on my heated desk pad. This idiot is giving me their best sulking face after I kicked her off said heated mat.

The rolling stones once said:
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes,
well, you just might find,
you become team lead.

I wouldn't recommend this as the best career development strategy

A week at #ndclondon done. Absolutely exhausted, but wired to get the ball rolling on some projects. Big thanks to @rendle.dev for the high performance dotnet workshop. Definitely showing the value of revisiting, revalidating and iterating as dotnet gets better.

Loving the OTEL integration with Aspire, but I think I have a fundamental problem with it. Aspire seems to promote microservice patterns, but doesn't solve the inherent problems of them.

Day 2 of the NDC workshops. Day 1 is definitely still in the queue awaiting processing.

I never really got onboard with professional social media before, my linked in is a testament to this, but I'm going to give it another go
