This is a good overview. I'm team SQL scripts, but I'm also not deploying to a fleet of database servers; I only manage one deployment to several environments. Plus, it's nice to have the scripts in a folder for easily running up/down to switch between branches. codewithmukesh.com/blog/running...

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Getting Serilog and MEL to play together nicely in a dotnet-isolated Azure Function, and also send log events to Azure Monitor (Application Insights) without duplication, was a process

Trying again. It is WILD that this isn't the top story in the country right now. The president is weak, feeble, sundowning, and unable to faithfully discharge the responsibilities of his office. It's right here, live on camera, and the national press just shrugs.

My son has had a voicemail greeting for years that says, "Just text me". A budding entrepreneur, he put his phone number on his business card, and today a referral called him and got sent to voicemail. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ He's updating the greeting as we speak. 😬

Trump and disappearing women. There's been some attention to this awful White House photo congratulating the Georgia Women's Tennis team but centering men. Minimizing women is core Trump/MAGA. On Tues, Trump referred to US military deaths from his Iran War "We lost 13 men." Three of them were women.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
