Working on a complex expression in a Bicep template. It's so great to call Microsoft Docs MCP to let the agent learn about a function and then combine it with best practices tools from GitHub Copilot for Azure.

Next release of Bicep will have experimental DSCv3 support!
github.com/Azure/bicep/...
This is just the first of many steps, but you can now author DSCv3 config using Bicep (don't try loops, won't work). There's still lots of work left to have more natural integration including intellisense.

I always found the term “DevOps” to be kinda dumb, so it sure was nice of them all to rebrand as “Platform Engineering.”

The Department of Transportation is fining JetBlue $2 million for "chronically delayed" flights on the East Coast. It's the first time the DOT has fined an airline for delays on specific routes due to "unrealistic" scheduling. Half of the fine will go to affected passengers.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms AI can only go so far. We want human connection.
