The government shutdown is taking a growing toll on air traffic controllers who are working without pay. Staffing shortages led to big delays over the weekend, raising concerns about travel chaos. n.pr/3JGPkWR

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

As someone who loves a cold house I have to remember everyone else doesn’t 🤣🤣 Close the windows at night 🤣🤣🤣

You know what’s cool? Being able to share words that motivate and inspire other people to do good things in their life!

I swear adulting really is just choosing which problem you want to give your time and attention to 🤣🤣And somewhere in there you choose to ignore some and go have fun - kinda like playing hooky from life 😉

Though the FDA narrowed criteria for the shots, many people still want them, to avoid illness and protect vulnerable family members. Some are turned down at the pharmacy or have to jump through hoops.

Been thinking about how many of the talented folks I know have been laid off and struggling to land something new. Even my current role took a year to find. This part of the unemployment story feels invisible. Anyone else seeing this disconnect?

As federal health agencies change their approach to vaccine policy leaving access for COVID shots uncertain, some states are taking things into their own hands.

Lately I’ve been thinking about the people and places I’ve let go. Not out of anger. Just… clarity. Sometimes you realize the version of you they needed doesn’t exist anymore. And that’s okay. Peace > perfection.☺️

Back on the grid from birthday celebrations and guess what’s almost first up on the list? Taking the trash out 🤣🤣 Adulting never stops 🤣🤣

So this summer has been horrible for keeping my grass under control. I got out today and cut the grass in the backyard and sure enough our resident bunny found their way back. They come and go but always know when the grass is freshly cut 🤣

Just shut down my Okta laptop for the last time. Grateful for the amazing experiences I’ve had over the past 3.5 yrs. 🙏🏾 New job loading… (stay tuned) 😉

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

What’s one thing you didn’t realize as a kid but now very much accept as an adult? My answer - How much time I’d spend folding clothes 🥴 Happy Sunday folks 🤣

Ever have one of those nights where you're just awake for no reason? Yup that was me...last night! 🙄

Y’all - I started cutting the grass too late. Great for the temps. Terrible for quiet hours 🤣 So now I’m done until tomorrow and the grass looks like… well let’s save that until tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣

learning about design tokens and design systems from @bradfrost.com was such a good breakdown of lots of jargon I hear all the time but didn't necessarily understand — until now! go watch the full episode of Learn With Jason here: codetv.dev/series/learn...

Starting the week with good news. I’ve been working out consistently and intentionally. This morning’s weigh in shows the numbers are moving in the right direction! Go me 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Someone should build a tracker for every time an AI tool suggested some bad code. I truly can’t count the number of times it’s told me to use methods that don’t exist🥴🤣

Every time I take a social media break I come back and think eh it wasn't long enough 😅

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Yall see this? www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Hey folks. I’m taking this morning off from the stream. I’ve got some stuff to sort at home before taking off for Auth0’s Developer Day event next Wednesday. I’ll be live next Saturday. 😉

I’m up and I’m moving but the light definitely are not on yet! 🤣Happy Tuesday folks

My little ones finish school today. I’m feeling all the feels today 🥹 #prouddad

Whew... I'm still absorbing the announcements at Build. Did ya'll see this? devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/annou...

Last week, the House passed President Trump's #bill that would expand work requirements for receiving aid through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Here are just the #facts on #SNAP. ⬇️ #DataViz

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Our closing locknote (keynote opens… 🔒) with @markrussinovich.bsky.social is up! Absolutely insane and tense series of entirely live demos! May have been our best talk ever with a nail biting finale youtu.be/KIFDVOXMNDc?...

.NET Aspire 9.3 is here with copilot. devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/intro... #dotnet #aspire #copilot

AI careers ≠ just prompt engineering. @tdesseyn.bsky.social‬ sat down with @vogueandcode.bsky.social‬ to talk about building an actual life in AI, creating content that teaches (not just trends), and surviving the job hunt. 📺 Watch it here:

Solid writing advice. You cannot edit a blank page. Get something down

I see Build and Google IO dominating this week. I got a lot to catch up on.

We’re up and on the road. Have to sort some last minute family stuff before I catch a flight but I am excited to see my team this week

Trump’s EPA is planning to roll back rules that limit the amount of “forever chemicals” allowed in drinking water. This comes after chemical companies donated generously to his inauguration fund. See how this works?

Took some time to read documentation on EF Core and Postgres tonight and I had an ah ha moment - the explosion of AI is really going to surface technologies that have really good documentation.

Taco Tuesday was a vibe in my house but now these kids left to do the dishes 🤣 nice memories making tortilla with them though and a fresh spice blend

So I spend time on the weekends playing with new features in #dotnet. Today I'm working on this app to help one of my kids learn how to fraction math. I'll be live under coreylweathers on Twitch, LinkedIn, and YouTube at 9am EDT. Tune if you're curious 😉 twitch.tv/coreylweathers

Welp I’ve been doing a lot recently - Doing some mentorship calls - Learning more about building with Copilot and MCP servers - Figuring out how to handle these AI chat bots and inappropriate conversations with minors - Trying to reseed my lawn Your boy is tired tired 😅how are y’all?

Things I’m finding AI tools to help with while coding - boilerplate setup of things - explaining why my errors are coming up - Maybe some things around software architecture It doesn’t get everything but it does get some things

Ok so some folks have asked - where’s the stream? I’ll be back next Saturday at 9am Eastern! In Twitch, LinkedIn, and YouTube! All under coreylweathers ☺️I can’t wait 🙌🏾
