Every once in a blue moon I get a notification and am reminded Bluesky still exists. I primarily open Threads, Instagram, and YouTube for socials these days. Maybe I'll try more here again.

Let's talk about options! Two great options: 1. The options pattern in .NET. Type safety, separation of concerns, and an extension library makes life easier. 2. The options to read about it! I'm blogging on my own .com, the EDJE blog, Medium, and devto! victorfrye.com/blog/posts/d...

Okay. So now I have a blog, but I have no way of knowing who reads said blog? I need to implement tracking and cookies, don't I? And write more stuff. And play video games

Okay. Nextjs is really cool. Why are more people not using it? Havent had one issue with vendor lock-in. Comfortably deploying to Azure SWAs.

Wrote my first blog post today. Unpublished as I want to edit it and get some feedback. Also started rewriting some conf abstracts for final wave of CFPs this year. Contentful weekend so far.

We have the answer! #GTA6 will be coming May 26, 2026. Yes, 2026, not 2025. Excited to see all the bets collected on today. And looking forward to other games finally knowing when they can release this fall through next spring.

Screen capture of Rockstar Games post about Grand Theft Auto VI. It reads as follows:

Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Coming May 26, 2026
May 2, 2025
Hi everyone,

Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.

We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.

With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.

We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.

Sincerely,
Rockstar Games

Today was the monday-est of Mondays. Docker and WSL issues, rogue processes causing issues, maintenance guys... And worst of all, US taxes 🤢
