I'm familiar with this class of race condition/bug, but didn't know the TOCTOU term/acronym until now. 🧠

Why does AI feel the need to point out that every problem is a "real" problem? Saying something is "real" seems to be the leading AI trope of July/August 2026.

I'm honored (and seriously jazzed) to have been able to fly to Dallas this week to teach about 30 of my colleagues what I know about using AI for consulting client delivery! I genuinely love sharing knowledge and empowering others. The fact that I'm paid to do this (on occasion) is amazing.

You know me: just casually making $202B USD payments to my electrical utility! #ComEd

Super helpful for anyone interested in using or checking out DSCv3!

🚀 Finding PowerShell DSCv3 resources just got easier! I’ve put together a centralized, community-curated index of resources 🌐 Web: mimachniak.github.io/dscv3-resour... 💻 GitHub: github.com/mimachniak/d... #PowerShell #DevOps #Automation #IaC #DSC #DSCv3 #MVPbuzz #Microsoft

What the hell, #Notepad?!

Couldn't turn this off fast enough. Actually that's a lie; I tried to turn this off previously but I don't think it was an available notification category.

I built #O365EndpointFunctions to turn the #Microsoft365 endpoint API into a clean, strongly-typed objects and help automate firewall rules, proxy bypass lists, PAC files, and more. www.powershellgallery.com/packages/O36... #PowerShell #Office365 #NetworkSecurity #OpenSource #PSGallery

O365EndpointFunctions 1.2.1

Retrieves the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 IP address and URL endpoints from the Microsoft web service and exports them as a proxy PAC file or a Ghostery policy, or merges them with custom endpoints.

Hot damn. 13 hours later, I finally have clean CI. (Doing Dev Containers "right" is hard)

What the... #GitHub #GitHubCopilot

😒 I'm tired, bros.

You can't make this stuff up. #claudecode #claude #anthropic

Windows Defender is flagging #Codex as malicious. "This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker." The ironic part is I'm working on building a devcontainer module for github.com/franklesn... -- to make it easy to sandbox coding agents. I guess I'll work from Codex on the web...

I backed into a parking space in a parking lot the other day, paid to park, and went to dinner. I came back to a ticket because apparently backing into a space is not allowed. Freaking $40 ticket. Ridic. I go to pay it, and they charge both a convenience fee AND a CC fee? Seriously, #ForestPark?

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

I fired up my Lenovo Flex 5G yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that I was FINALLY able to update it from 23H2 to 25H2. Microsoft or Qualcomm fixed whatever driver issue was blocking/resulting in a BSOD. This #fanless Windows laptop still has some life! #Windows #Windows11 #Win11

You're shipping faster than ever with AI. So why do you feel fried? Running 5 agents isn't 5x output. It's 5 junior engineers tapping your shoulder - and nobody warned you about the cognitive bill. How I protect my focus: gilbertsanchez.com/posts/using-...

Using AI Without Losing Your Mind

AI lets you ship faster, but the throughput has a hidden cost: cognitive exhaustion. Here's how I run agents without burning out.

5K2K is my favorite monitor resolution. This monitor is a bit larger than I think is ideal... but it's arguably the best 5K2K monitor on the market, and it's at the lowest price I've seen (at least here in the US): https://amzn.to/4vsZGfC (affiliate link but honest opinion)

FYI: you can put yourself on the list to get a Steam Machine, at least here in the US. You have to put yourself on the list by June 25, 10 AM PDT.

Interesting. I had not heard of this MCIO connector before I came across this article:

MaxSun replaces PCIe x16 slot on Mini-ITX motherboard with two MCIO connectors - VideoCardz.com

The company has presented two boards: MS-Challenger MCIO ITX and MS-PC Farm B860I.
