Aussie. Dev at Microsoft working on Razor and a bit of Roslyn (C# and VB). Just generally a big fan of syntax trees I guess. I like Lego. He/him. 🇦🇺

My wife is so bad at keeping her phone up to date, that she didn't get the alert. Sorry everyone. If aliens come to earth, and the government tells us the only way the planet survives is by everyone doing a jumping jack, we're doomed, she'll have no idea. Also she's unco so would probably fall over.

I just worked out that yesterdays Connections purple didn't make any sense to me because I'm Australia. Had to hear an american say it in order to understand. Hate games that are regional like that.

Union types are coming to C#! Unions model closed sets of data shapes, as commonly seen in e.g. wire protocols. In this #MSBuild session replay, Mads and Dustin explore the clean expression of intent and the confidence and elegance that unions lend to consuming code. 🎥 buff.ly/yigYfF4

I used to enjoy playing drums on Guitar Hero World Tour in my youth, so obviously I'm now feeling the incessant draw of purchasing a multi-hundred-dollar electronic drum kit and calling it a hobby (for 5 minutes presumably).

Booked a Jetstar flight: My youngest counted as an adult because they'll be over 11, then had to enter their date of birth, then had to check a box indicating they'll be under 15. So they're not a child, but clearly still a child, but you can't tell how old someone is from their date of birth??

don't use discord, twitter, bluesky, or any other social media exclusively to update your customers of anything... the updates should always *at least* be available on your website. no one should be required to accept another company's TOS because you're lazy

Developers need to be paid, and based on reputation alone I'm sure this app is fantastic, but a social media app that doesn't even let you like something without a yearly subscription is wild to me.

I could stop listening to The Waitress soundtrack if I wanted, but I'm not going to. I've enjoyed almost every musical I've seen over the years, but there aren't many that make it into my regular listening rotation. Very happy to have discovered a new one.
