Truss furious over Vogue lettuce snub

Peter’s watching classic Who and the Big Bad of the story is very gimp suit

Rewatching SG-1, and just noticed from an episode from 2003 that Major Carter is writing some C# on a whiteboard. They must have picked it because it was pretty new at the time.

Been avoiding fixing a fence panel in the garden that’s been very slowly falling down for over two years, but finally decided to fix it… Took just 30 seconds of gently pushing and kicking it back into place 🤣

I thought he didn’t want our aircraft carriers?

Stupid ticket queues. Just shut up and take my money.

Why has the woman who enslaved someone for 25 years not been imprisoned for *at least* the same amount of time? Seems fair.

People at the Grafana meet-up in London tonight asking the important questions:

"Live from New York Citay…"

I’m glad I’m not in the business of needing to buy a 🧜‍♀️☕️ every weekday anymore. £5.05 for a tall mocha today 🥴

Props to @grafana.bsky.social for the dark Easter eggs in their documentation

I wrote something on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/psvens... I'm looking for a new gig and/or employment (if interesting enough). Please repost if you can! Much appreciated!

Someone needs to throw a bucket of cold water on Duolingo:

Watch out everyone, looks like I’m about to hit the big time over on LinkedIn - can’t wait to push the capabilities for fixing typos.

Quite tired and feel jet lagged, but I’ve only been to Birmingham 😅

Judging the male couple on my train that have clearly been and bought a tērf wand at Kings X. Do better.

Love when the train is half the length it should be

Just waiting for the hosts of my weekend trip to Birmingham to wake up

Me clicking Retry over and over to check whether I have indeed actually fixed some flaky tests

In Nov 2025, we delivered native #OpenTelemetry support for .NET 10. In this post, we share a behind-the-scenes look at this journey, and a few updates about how we're helping those who use OTel signals within #dotNET applications move to .NET 10.

NGL, the Mando and Grogu trailer did not set my world on fire. Just comes across as a bumper episode where Grogu eats more snacks.

Recruiters are wild sometimes. FOUR “what do you think of the above?” replies to an unsolicited email about a Big Data role in a more junior position. If you’d even bothered looking at my LinkedIn you’d see it’s clearly not a fit before even trying to talk to me. Blocked.

The eslint-config-prettier compromise last year had a tell: the malicious versions were published to npm without provenance attestation, while the legit ones all had it. So I added a check to Dependabot that warns when a package loses its provenance between updates.
