If you’re only just realising that young professionals have access to big systems then hello to you, welcome to the real world. How was you nap?

The evocative sound of morning seagulls in London. Followed by the realisation it’s actually the distress call of a jacked Lime bike.
Time to make a cup of tea. See what lasts longer, this fight or the tea.

I’ve been caught carrying a very large quantity of German Christmas cake. Charged with handling stollen goods. Anyone available pro bono?
New intro. I’m a software engineer based in the Asia Pacific. I worked on real-time embedded systems in C and assembly for the 1st decade of my career before pivoting to consumer, commercial, investment banking, and trading in Europe & APAC. Mostly C#, .NET, MAUI Blazor Hybrid, Azure, C++ & Python.
Looks like @victor.hogemann.com went ahead some time ago and produced a cool NuGet package, if you want to interact from dotnet with the BlueSky API go check it out! github.com/vhogemann/bs... #fsharp #dotnet #csharp
If you maintain a large (legacy) .NET codebase, and have to deal with app.configs, binding redirects, NuGet package updates, version conflicts, etc. I'm getting a ton of mileage out of these tools: github.com/KirillOsenko...
It's time for devs to take a look at modern #Excel! It now has all the core #FunctionalProgramming constructs: LAMBDA, LET, MAP, REDUCE, SCAN, … as well as GROUPBY, PIVOTBY, … Both #PowerQuery and Formulas have lazy evaluation. It's a fantastic, reactive, functional programming environment! 🚀
Reminder that I have a #Ruby and #RubyonRails starter pack here for anyone looking for their Ruby Friends. go.bsky.app/HD2Ty2o
Ok, Semantic Kernel is also pretty sweet. It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks.
I’m looking to broaden my connection with #Python and #Langchain people. Where are they at? Repost for reach pls.
I spent the day taking some casual first steps into using Langchain, LlamaCpp, and a couple of models from huggingface. Was a pretty neat first step. Although I'm at a loss what sort of side project to do. Any ideas?
Put this in your next PR to check whether that four-day wait was actually worth it...
Having decades of experience in software dev isn't what it's made out to be. Time passes, most of our skills fade into irrelevance. What we are left with is an ever-stronger grasp of fundamentals, a lifetime of relearning, and lots of valuable (and sometimes painful) lessons.
The two most productive teams I ever worked in were: a) programming in assembler with no source control (90s) b) Doing CI with Visual Source Safe and batch files running CI (00s) It was the leadership and discipline of the team that made all the difference. Not the technology.
At some point I will tweet about side projects. It'll be Arduino builds, Blazor WebAssembly, and whatever I'm tinkering with atm. I have a broad interest in tech and lots of opinions on development. I don't really look like a Christmas gnome.
