“My #PowerShell module, #BurntToast, is closing” ^ my panic and shock at this point in the sentence 😂

🤣

Also getting a wave of guilt at the moment for not having given this project any love for a long time.

Don't kick yourself for that Especially as sometimes you just don't have time or motivation to get around to these projects

But interesting thing, did you know of @github-labeler.bsky.social (to show off some of your projects)

I didn't... looking now!

I've done some thinking on this over the last year or so and came to realize that "back when" I did a lot of community work to challenge myself and get fulfillment to technical itches mainly because those itches weren't being scratched at work.

Yeah and that's a common thing Then that gets you a role that does satisfy the itch But then the role doesn't give enough time for the community side of things or other pressing life matters Because we're stuck in the view of the "perfect 5/7" work/life balance which really should be 4/7

I'm now getting that fulfilment in my current role and so the _need_ to do more outside of work isn't there anymore and so other priorities (like family!) get the focus they deserve instead. No regrets at all, just an observation I found interesting.

I might take a look at this, as I was playing around (unsuccessfully) with progress notifications last week in a .NET WinForms app. (Regular notifications are fine)

toastit.devCrouton #2 - You Can't Stop Progress (Bars)April saw the release of the Creators Update for Windows 10 which brought with it a handful of new options for toast notifications.

If you do dive into it, stay away from the preview versions... they were the start of a re-write that I won't be following through on when I come to _actually_ do a v1. And for progress bars, this may be a head start: toastit.dev/2017/04/29/c...
