My year in review from ChatGPT, love it! Through stacks, clouds, and pipelines you steer, Each migration a milestone this year. From EF quirks to Svelte's shining dome, You built order from code and from home - A craftsman of systems, both sturdy and clear.

Finally getting started on our PAX cosplay... Maybe a little late to start, when it's for all four of us, but that's how we roll. Can you guess the game? Hint: were a squad

And yet, they have now confirmed they are sticking with him. Ridiculous, how are are supposed to believe the AFL actually wants to see any change in their toxic enchantment?!

It beggars belief that the AFL is persisting with the choice of Snoop Dog to provide the entertainment at the Grand Final. Misogynism and homophobia must not be condoned.

Saturday morning status: benchmarking a new function we created this week, which will currently be used in both .NET Framework 4.8.1 and .NET 8 and above. The perf improvements in ".NET Core" is really mind-blowing 🤯 The sooner we finish our migration project the better! #dotnet

If you're in Melbourne and free tomorrow night, join me and all the other awesome Melb.NET peeps at the Microsoft offices for our monthly meetup! With two fantastic talks on the lineup, plus food and drinks! www.meetup.com/melb-net-mee...

Claude AI app is rolling out the beta of real time voice conversations on android, but the interrupt feature isn't working. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yesssss!!

DDD Melbourne tickets are now ON SALE!!

Claude's actions brighten my day 😂

I was very excited and humbled to wake up to this email this morning, my second year as a Microsoft MVP 💙 #mvpbuzz #microsoftmvp

Did you know Windows Terminal can do "split tabs"? This is such a productivity boost if you do a lot in terminal Alt+Shift+- and Alt+Shift++ to split Alt+Shift+arrows will change the split width/height Alt+arrows will move between your split Ctrl+Sft+W to close And mouse works to move too!

Reading a live news feed BACKWARDS on a morning like this is an experience....

Reading ahead is always the key ... that and not correcting any error that you do make - I ALWAYS struggle with that second bit! I'm a perfectionist

🎤 Calling speakers for Melb.NET! We meet monthly (around 1st Tuesdays) and love talks on tech, dev stories, career tips - you don’t have to be into .NET to have fun here! It’s a friendly, low-pressure crowd. 👉 bit.ly/melb-dotnet-... #MelbNET #CFP

I was speaking with someone the other day at DDD By Night about typing speeds.... It had been a while, and I am always saying how much I hate my new flashy keyboard for typing. Well, it seems when I put my mind to it and concentrate, I can actually do alright still! (QWERTY keyboard, not DVORAK)

Oh cool, ads by partners on Azure are a thing now! I've been looking forward to this day.... /endsarcasm

My fav loyalty card app Stocard recently got bought out by Klarna. An awful, lesser mobile app was forced upon us, and I was altogether unhappy. I then just found out yesterday Klarna is a BNPL business. Yuk. I've now migrated everything to Supercards and requested my data be deleted by Klarna

How is "having an empty folder on your computer" part of a suitable security patch?! www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microso...

Finally got business approval for purchasing a @microsoft M365 Copilot licence 👌🏻 So why am i not playing with it yet? Because it seems it's taking forever to propagate the licence to my devices! How long have others found it takes, especially for the first licence in the organisation?

Rice pudding == comfort food ❤️

😢 don't leave plastic handled utensils too close to the stove, kids! Thank God @GitHub Copilot can do my coding work for me now 😂 (I JUST did my first full "GitHub Copilot agent mode assigned to an issue" flow an hour ago, it was phenomenal!)

The death of many classics, some of these have made it through 4 laptop changeovers 😞

Autumn!! Every year, i never grow tired of this 😍

It's here! Recall (preview) is now running on my machine 🎉

I'm building my schedule for #MSBuild which is next week! As always these days, almost every session is related in some way to AI. But there's also the usual gems that I love - like "What's Next in C#"... Yes! It's almost Build time! build.microsoft.com/en-US/home

Creating an application with GitHub Copilot Agent mode with MCP - mind blowing! youtu.be/dutyOc_cAEU?... I know what I'm doing today, thanks @burkeholland.bsky.social

Chilling with my furry babies, just reading and snoozing... perfect end to mothers day 🥰

They say never work with children or animals... It was impossible trying to get this cheeky puppy to pose properly with her new Bunnings swag ball from NDC Melbourne, which she found herself in my bag because I'm pretty sure she smelled the new smell of it!!

Please, not yet

What a rush, delivering a talk AND a workshop at #NDCMelbourne this week! It was also my first time attending an NDC event in person, and it was an amazing experience - such great attendees, speakers, organisers, sponsors, food and vibes (No vibe coding, though - phew!) Thanks @ndcconferences.com!

I'm noticing that Chad (GPT-4o) is more and more like an aerobics instructor from the 90s - "You're doing great", "Awesome quetison!", "Yeah, you did it!"

What could go wrong???

Shopping for luggage has become my least favourite thing to shop for. I can never decide! Hard or soft cover? Backpack or wheels? One or two bags for carry on? Purple or green?????

If you want me, I'll be here. Starting Oblivion for, like, the 50th time 😂 But this time, it's different! 😍😍

Coming into the city for work just got a new reward!!!

Remember to fit at least one thing in your work week that brings you joy. Right now, I'm updating all my class libraries to target .NET 9 (don't want to admit what version they were targeting, but also still multi-targetting .NET Framework 4.8 for now). Very much joy being felt 😍

Ok I'll admit this is a bit insane from 4 days of conference... But there we go, that's a good start on my new Surface - and I haven't even started transferring my old favs yet

I pledge to answer as many questions as i can find time for, every week for the next year on Microsoft Learn @microsoftlearn.bsky.social #MVPsPledgeToAnswers

Pin collection started! #mvpsummit

I'm just gonna go ahead and call it out, I expected to be a minority as a woman in Dev here, but I'm realising MS really do have a MASSIVE diversity issue in the MVP program! Keen to chat with any one else here who has thoughts, ideas etc on solutions to the problem ❤️ #mvpsummit

15 years of Azure! Feeling old now 😂 #mvpsummit #azure

Errrmerrgaaaad!!! #mvpsummit #mvpbuzz

Of all the songs I could have in my head as I fly into Seattle, my brain's chosen one is "Rock Star" by Hole (I could have the actual song name wrong?? But yeah, IYKYK) ❤️ This trip ticks so many bucket list items off!!
