Phil Minielly

Absolutely smashed the Fantasy Football team name this year.

Is it too much to ask for a career where I can just freely tinker. Fixing watches, making boots and reading books. I'd grow a beard and buy a monocle. Shelter a young traveler on the run from evil pursuers. Bestow ancient wisdom before sacrificing myself to cover their escape. A simple life.

A meme I sent to my 6 person instagram chat was hearted 5 times. I feel invincible.

Holy smokes my brain is mush.

philminielly.com/blogs/organi... Thinking about how folks are already pulling out pitchforks against AI. Will future ads and creative works be stamped as 100% human created similar to the Organic produce we see in grocery stores.

As a Canadian travelling in the US. You guys need to figure out payments. The whole multiple receipts, take the card, sign the thing, math the tip with a pen. Insane.

I love my fiance and can't wait to marry her , but she insists that setting the clock on the car 10 minutes fast is the greatest 'life hack' of all time and I hate it.

@carlfranklin.bsky.social @richcampbell.bsky.social Thanks for another year of rocking with .NET 🤘

Who would've thought the Jack White & Eminem collab would slap so hard.

I thought I bricked my laptop after a coffee incident last night. Popped open the back today and disconnected the internal battery. Cycled the power for 60 seconds & waited. Plugged everything back in and we're booting like nothing ever happened. I love ThinkPads.

youtu.be/WRg13Ze_UpY - Really enjoyed this talk. I love hearing experts effortlessly break down complex topics. A fun exploration of all the decisions that can be made architect-ing modern software.

Protip! When committing changes from your Aspire project make sure you're in the solution directory. I mindlessly added and committed my changes without realizing I was just in the AppHost project. Didn't realize what happened until after some reckless reset --hards 😕

I'm newly engaged so I appreciate the importance of our shared calendar.

I was feeling confident after the maple leaf...a glue gun and a few structural toothpicks later...

... don't pitch to him

The Jays need to pull this one out after that effort from Lauer

I jumped on the Omarchy bandwagon and threw it on my old Thinkpad. Super fun to learn all the keyboard navigation. Got a .NET Aspire app running with the roslyn LSP (github.com/seblyng/rosl...) SSL dev certs on Linux are still a pain, but this tool is a new find - github.com/tmds/linux-d...

Buy your support team a beer today 😮‍💨

Trying to get back/start to post here on Bluesky. My thought today is that playing fantasy football after 30 is painful. My algorithm is filled back up with player rankings and the sentiment is that anyone over 30 is a decrepit pile of garbage ... 😅

I love college basketball. My bracket is already in shambles , but I'm having a great time

We have created a new interactive cli tool for scaffolding, dotnet scaffold, learn more in this blog post devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/intro...

Days are long, but the .NET release cycles are short ... I swear 8 just came out.

Every other league is looking at the NHL with such jealousy. A perfect showcase of an incredible sport.

I was finally able to rebook my Monday flight from Pearson for tomorrow night. The poor customer representative I was able to get through to sounded like he'd been awake for days.

Writing is Easy - Publishing is Hard philminielly.com/blogs/writin...

Still unsure how it's 2025. September till now was like 2 weeks.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

I was really excited to relax and unwind on my week off. Somehow I played Marvel Rivals nonstop and now I'm back at work.

This is the first spot I've been at where the whole team takes the week of Christmas off. Years of food service, retail, and front line support where working over the holidays was my normal. I'm very grateful, but it's hard to truly disconnect.

Cringe fueled anger swirls inside as I submit my mandatory Holiday greeting video for the marketing team.

I'm in a weird limbo where Neovim & Tmux make me feel like a superhero. But JetBrains made Rider and WebStorm free for personal use. There must be an alternate universe where Sisyphus had no rock and just configured development environments while writing no actual code.

The Chiefs are going to win the super bowl. Whatever black magic is fueling them is too strong.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians supporting their American customers.

I'm having way too much fun using Apps Script to automate the shit out of this Google sheet.

Go to developer meetups! You'll always leave having learned something and you can meet incredible people.

Fermyon is truly ahead of the game with this stuff. Gamechanging.

My Bluesky discover feed is already the perfect blend of cool tech stuff and sports takes/fantasy football nerds.
