I'm watching my #GuardsBall and waiting for the bats to wake up. Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me. Cleveland, even now, I can remember, 'cause the Cuyahoga river goes smoking through my dreams. Burn on, big river, burn on. Burn on, big river, burn on. IYKYK

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Only that green van thing (maybe a taxi?) knew how to lean into the turn. Other drivers need practice learning to control skids. And yes, I laughed my ass off watching this a few times.

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.

Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

Internal Microsoft people keep asking me why I wrote a .NET Bluesky SDK and when I explain it was mean to support enough to write a bot to troll @sinclairinat0r.com about beans, but it grew out of control their response is "Of course, that doesn't surprise me"

We hear it often - "Everything is a trade-off." But what does this mean in #SoftwareArchitecture? Sadukie talks about many of the considerations we have as architects and the trade-offs involved! Check it out: https://youtu.be/gECOcO8nmmk #SoftwareDevelopment #TechTraining

Do you attend tech talks? I suspect that many of you don't give feedback after attending a talk. Yes, I'm calling you out, but please take a listen. You may not realize how few responses are received by some speakers! 🧵

The reason I mention that people come up and say "that was my favorite talk of the event", is that no one would come up to say the reverse. You won't get people coming up and saying what they thought you could improve. I know people have things they don't like in my talks, but more need to tell me!

Brendan Enrick
@brendoneus.com

The next time you are at an event, please try to submit the feedback before running to your next talk. A quick blurb about what you liked, didn't like, thought could improve, etc. will go a long way! It can help speakers tweak their talks and help conferences know which talks were liked and why!

My most popular talk has never had 10% of attendees to give feedback. As an example, I did it as an sub-in talk at KCDC 2024 and had people coming up to me for the rest of the event just to step in and tell me that they loved the talk. Despite the 115 people attending, these are my 6 responses.

Brendan Enrick
@brendoneus.com

I've had events with 2 responses and plenty where NO ONE responded in the event's feedback. It's hard to know what people liked AND EVEN HARDER to know what people didn't like without the anonymous feedback forms!

I've spoken at plenty of conferences and user groups and have been actively speaking at user groups and conferences for more than 15 years I think I'm a good speaker. I'm far from the best, but I definitely have people who enjoy attending my talks.

I have one talk that is ever-changing and I try to do regularly. It usually packs a room with people standing in the aisles and outside the door. What it gets is plenty of clapping at the end and people coming up to tell me they liked it. What it doesn't get? Much feedback from the events' forms.
