We are making large changes to C# Dev Kit, so it's faster and lighter than ever before. It's available in pre-release today. devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/faste...

“Well, you see, I have to stay on the White Supremacist Child Porn Rape Victim Doxxing site because that’s where my community is”

Delaying the Western Renewables Link & VNI West transmission projects could cost Australians a staggering $33 billion in wholesale electricity costs, according to a new Nexa Advisory report. With families already stretched thin, every delay means more pain at the hip pocket.

TIL Nish Kumar and I have the same Nando’s order.

As a fellow 46 year old this does have a ring of truth to it.

Today marks 8 years at Microsoft, 15 years of being a father, and 2 days of not knowing what the hell I'm supposed to do with myself after a 10 day vacation followed by the flu.

Once again I have caused the local weather to be stunning, because I am flying out of here today.

All phones in the family are USB-C, so on holidays we can just take USB-C cables. And USB-A cables because the hotel won't have C ports. And the battery bank only has A. And there is still that one set of AirPods that is still lightning. And most of the kindles are micro-USB. How did it get worse?!

Are you RailSAFE? #MetroTrains #RSW2026

The robot shelf is getting very crowded. #lego

I've been using Email for at least 35 years. Because I used to put the wash on for Mum sometimes

They grow up so fast

My wife is so bad at keeping her phone up to date, that she didn't get the alert. Sorry everyone. If aliens come to earth, and the government tells us the only way the planet survives is by everyone doing a jumping jack, we're doomed, she'll have no idea. Also she's unco so would probably fall over.

researched C# recently and it looks like a pretty damn cool language

Just when I thought Blue Sky might be a nice place to be, all of a sudden I wake up to a bunch of soccer content. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE NERDS, STOP SPORTING!

Crap, forgot to set my alarm early, for my 7:05am meeting. Thank god I’ve been doomscrolling since 4:30 and nobody will turn up to the meeting anyway. Phew.

What's it like in your head?

The rest of my family had Nandos for lunch. School holidays suck.

I just worked out that yesterdays Connections purple didn't make any sense to me because I'm Australia. Had to hear an american say it in order to understand. Hate games that are regional like that.

Union types are coming to C#! Unions model closed sets of data shapes, as commonly seen in e.g. wire protocols. In this #MSBuild session replay, Mads and Dustin explore the clean expression of intent and the confidence and elegance that unions lend to consuming code. 🎥 buff.ly/yigYfF4

I used to enjoy playing drums on Guitar Hero World Tour in my youth, so obviously I'm now feeling the incessant draw of purchasing a multi-hundred-dollar electronic drum kit and calling it a hobby (for 5 minutes presumably).

“Based on the hit podcast” Well, burn the whole thing down, it’s gone too far.

I am visiting a brocolli plantation. Oh no it’s just expo night at a high school, my bad.

Booked a Jetstar flight: My youngest counted as an adult because they'll be over 11, then had to enter their date of birth, then had to check a box indicating they'll be under 15. So they're not a child, but clearly still a child, but you can't tell how old someone is from their date of birth??

I wish I was going to MSBuild to do booth duty :(

A public holiday on Monday in the US? Oh cool. No the PR has only been open for 4 days. It's chill.

Waiting for the doctor. Appointment was half an hour ago. The receptionist has gone home. The door is locked. We are very literally the only people here. Wtf.

My in-laws are in Italy and they keep sending photos of water and old buildings nobody cares about, but every now and then they capture an adorable tiny car and it’s the most wonderful thing. #weirdcarbs

don't use discord, twitter, bluesky, or any other social media exclusively to update your customers of anything... the updates should always *at least* be available on your website. no one should be required to accept another company's TOS because you're lazy

I don't know if you heard, but I have a feeling a new episode of Upgrade is out.

@meziantou.net In www.meziantou.net/blazor-how-t... did you mean "_Imports.razor"?

Here is a video someone made about some command line arguments I deleted the other week, and a nuget package I uploaded. I’m basically famous! youtu.be/i6n-w6Tq7F0?... #nvim #razor #dotnet #roslyn

I don’t need much of a justification to go to the UK, because I love it, but Tom Scott: England is the best tourism film(s) I’ve ever seen.

Developers need to be paid, and based on reputation alone I'm sure this app is fantastic, but a social media app that doesn't even let you like something without a yearly subscription is wild to me.

I could stop listening to The Waitress soundtrack if I wanted, but I'm not going to. I've enjoyed almost every musical I've seen over the years, but there aren't many that make it into my regular listening rotation. Very happy to have discovered a new one.

What’s the plural of Wall-E? Wall-I? Or maybe it’s a compaction of Wall-Es.

The Waitress was great, the news out of Farrer upon exiting the show was not great, free train home is great, 20 minute frequencies is not great.

I love Lego, I love Mo, I love Lego Mo, but would it have killed them to include a set of non-angry eyes, and a spare plate to be able to take off his siren? I want friendly Mo!! #lego

I recorded this little demo for an internal thing this week, but I'm too happy to let it stay internal, so here it is. To you it probably seems fairly normal, but for me, this is the culmination of 4+ years of (very) slowly putting pieces into place. Coming to VS and VS Code soon! #dotnet #razor
