1) Just because I excel at one thing doesn't mean I excel at everything.
2) What motivates me one second, definitely won't motivate me the next.
3) "Just try", "You're not putting out effort", "You'll be fine. Work harder". Don't, just DON'T say this.
4) Vague instructions = BAD
Listen - This is a message to THE ENTIRE TECH COMMUNITY: If you ignore issues faced by people who look like me in tech and want to silence voices - then you don't care about making it a place for everyone... You just want a pure sanctuary. Want unity? THEN HAVE MY BACK. SPEAK UP
Omg Windows Terminal!! Yes!
Extensions, Unicode support.
Also, it's what I figured it was going to be. Sets are in the Terminal, separate from the Shell.

How many times do people have to embrace these horrible takes?
What if I use all 3 everyday? Does this make me a 10x^3 developer?
USE WHATEVER VIBES WITH YOU. Stop trying to slamdunk on alternatives so you can feel like you're superior or something.
Damn lol
Happy Birthday to the homie

Cheers! \o/
@FOXFOOTBALL
He was also part of the Windows/Windows Phone Developer community and Microsoft MVP. I didn't know him personally, but I know he was brilliant. His name is well known. I wish for his family and friends to eventually find peace. They didn't deserve the vicious & unwarranted attack
For me, it sucks being the ONLY black engineer at my office. I don't really have anyone I can have this conversation with from the coworker standpoint. I guess I'm used to internalizing all of this... All I know is, I've seen many people show their true face and it's like damn...
I started a discussion with the black engineers in my division about what's currently happening in America as a way to help process everything. I'm angry and sad and feel completely helpless and unproductive today
I'm still trying to figure out all this dislike for .NET/C#. IMO, it was one of the easiest frameworks for me to pick up and run with and happened to be the LAST thing I learned out of the 8 languages I've used previously, with JavaScript being the FIRST one. Maybe it's just me?
I forgot to tell y'all the wonderful news that happened Thursday evening, my daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, and I can't wait to meet him 🥺😍.
Yo!!! Omg omg. 2020 is off to a wonderful start, as I finally achieved one of my goals.
Say hello to your newest
#WindowsInsiderMVP
!
A huge thank you to the
@windowsinsider
team and everyone involved.
Y'all won't regret this 😎😎
DID
YOU
KNOW
Windows 11 on Arm gives us quite the ultimate platform for running x86, x86_64, arm, and arm64 executables?
Isn't that awesome??
Cool?
Well, there's more!
I've been promoted to Security & Software Architect for my team.
It's a title fitting to what I've been doing / wanting to do for a while now. Although this position is going to hold a lot of extra responsibility, it's time. 😎
Woo hoo! Renewed for my second year as a Windows Development MVP!
So excited to be back again and can't wait to do even more!
#MVPBuzz
PS: I didn't receive the email yet. I just logged in to the MVP Portal and saw the congrats lol.
And I was the ONLY person at my poling site wearing a mask.
"OMG masks are so stupid. Like who even wears a mask anymore??" amirite?
Apparently not the lady coughing her lungs up something serious two tables away while I was marking my choices, but yall don't want that convo
It’s weird so many on the left acting befuddled that voter suppression works and are blaming marginalized people.
But if you went to the polls and didn’t wear a mask, you participated in voter suppression efforts too.
Ok, I REALLY dig Safety Check. Definitely something needed. I can't tell you how many of my friends I've had to help in abusive situations where their ex/significant other spied on them + kept changing passwords and accessing on other devices.

"Internally, we’ve rebuilt the binaries of the Windows 11 on ARM operating system itself with ARM64EC so that any system code loaded by x64 apps runs with native speed."
This is bad ass!
OMG y'all seriously need to stop it with crying over the fact that the Duo isn't running a Windows variant lol. Windows Phone is not returning and you'll have to accept this fact because no complete cellular stack exists in Windows 10 anymore. It ded. Gone. Thanosed. Accept fam.
RIP BinaryFormatter in .NET 9. Barry's finally getting his wish 😂. For as much as I joke about it, the removal from the runtime truly is for a good cause.
@IncredibleCulk
Showed this to my wife, she laughed.
About 10 seconds later: "Wait, how am I only 4 years older than Macaulay Culkin?!?!???"
Your work here, is done. 😂
Sometimes I REALLY hate myself due to my ADHD. I just want to rip myself apart. How can I be confident, yet immediately lose confidence? Have a clear vision, yet have a scrambled vision as soon as I’m ready to do something? I just want my goddamn mind to stop fighting against me.
"I'm blacker than you are"
"You're the whitest black guy I know"
"I'm more hood than you are"
"You don't speak ghetto"
"Stop trying to act black"
"There's good black people, and then there's niggers. You're one of the good ones"
Racism isn't always blatant. Remember that.
In case everyone's wondering why I'm extra today, I have to bury my cousin today and I'm trying to get all this out before the painful reality sets in.
So I'm going to reiterate this. The sudden push to erase conversations about LGBTQ people and water down Black history for "inappropriateness" is bull that only serves as a mean to circulate ignorance, and perpetuate sanctioned harm to those who aren't "the norm".
That's it.
I forgot that yesterday was my 13th anniversary at my job 🙃🙃🙃
Tech. Architect Intern -> Systems Engineer I -> Web Engineering Specialist I -> Web Engineering Specialist II -> Web Engineering Specialist III.
I did a lot of random stuff throughout my professional career.
Seriously, I fully recommend learning PowerShell if you're a Sys Admin/Engineer or do anything related to Microsoft technologies, because it's saving my arse right now in preparation for the suffering I'm about to endure tomorrow morning lol.
TIL developers dislike PowerShell...
Me, on the other hand, absolutely LOVE PowerShell.
I'd say devs should REALLY check it out, especially .NET based ones.
Half of the things y'all are creating console apps for, can be done easily in PWSH.
Why do developers dislike
#PowerShell
?
Why is it hard to find a developer to work on PowerShell cmdlets? Do we still miss great guidance to produce a proper cmdlet? Is it really that hard to support basic PowerShell concepts?
(Don't mention the "return" keyword. That's old. :)
I don't feel right if I didn't do SOMETHING for those affected by recent layoffs. I call upon my followers. All of you who can help out, let's get a
#TechIsHiring
thread together with resources and positions. I know y'all would have my back if this was for me, so let's help 💯.
I'm gon need everyone who's leaving Twitter to settle on ONE social platform, cause I ain't finna start Netflix, Hulu, Paramount Plus, Prime Video, Disney+, Discovery+, Starz, Showtime, and HBO Maxin out here.
I love coding, I love doing all kinds of hacky things because it challenges me and I love accomplishing things. Do you not think any of this affects me at all??? Am I supposed to just be a damn machine, void of emotion and identity?
I
BET
THE
HELL
NOT.
Another thing I'm VERY excited about is MAUI!
A SINGLE project system, SINGLE codebase for creating cross-platform and native UI.
Want to target mobile? DONE
What about desktop? DONE
No more 9,000 project types, versions, extensions, and workarounds.

I made the mistake of looking at my 401K balance today, against
@film_girl
's warning.
Why did I do this? 😩 DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR 401K BALANCE. HEED THE WARNINGS. LOOK AT IT IN LIKE A MONTH OR SO.
I'm still trying to figure out if Thanos needed a car loan or something on 3/31
