They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

With .NET 10 you can now easily distribute your own CLI tools and run them without installing using `dnx`. I built my own simple ardalis CLI tool as a demonstration of what you can do. ardalis.com/the-ardalis-... #dotnet

You might want to upgrade to #dotnet 10 if you're still on an earlier version...

Working in a simple static Hugo site in a GitHub repository. Asked copilot to add a simple feature that would update one file in the template. It decides to bring in Hugo’s Apache license, change which version of Hugo I’m running (downgrading it), break how slugs are generated, …

Good abstractions hide the irrelevant and simplify the essential. Bad abstractions hide the essential and complicate the irrelevant.

This is a pretty nice write-up of how to get started with my Clean Architecture #dotnet solution template. It's based on a slightly older version, but still worth a look: www.yogihosting.com/aspnet-core-...

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Nice!

Tech debt metaphor but actually it’s protection money… “Nice application your business is relying on… be a shame if something bad were to happen to it…” #TechDebt #MobDebt

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

More awful behavior from this white supremacist administration. You can let them know how you feel about it at this URL though. www.abmc.gov/about-us/con...

The FAA is cutting 10% of air traffic at 40 of the nation's busiest airports, canceling hundreds of flights and creating uncertainty for many more passengers. Here's what to do if you're one of them.

The #AIbubble is going to burst and create a horrendous mess. I am even considering a stock market play - have never owned shares other than through my super - but I know how it works and some put options could be a nice earner.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s brilliant. Cheapest bribe of the year.

"Rants and Raves" from @wildermuth.com > I think this is true whether it is an open source project, or a commercial product. It has felt like developers can get focused on “How hard could it be?”.
