Happy Hardcore History Day everyone. I was really hoping to get this out before 2024 ended but it wasn't quite ready. But it is now. I hope you like it! dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3…

Time to channel my network. My current contract expires at the end of the month. So I am looking for new opportunities. Do you know anyone who can use a very experienced #SQLServer developer, specialized in query tuning? Please reach out! Reposts appreciated. #OpenToWork

Good stuff for WinForms devs! .NET 9 brings async power with new APIs, like: 〰️ Control.InvokeAsync 〰️ Form.ShowAsync 〰️ TaskDialog.ShowDialogAsync. Say goodbye to frozen UIs and hello to smoother apps! 🤿 Dive into the future of responsive UI! #AsyncMagic msft.it/6012oOK8j

My preferred development workflow for 2024: 1. All devs have their own DB instance so we don’t conflict with each other. The DBs run locally, and can be reset via static SQL scripts via a single command. The SQL scripts are committed to source control. This way, we can code without internet, demo the app reliably, reproduce bugs, and write fast, reliable tests. 2. Create a short-lived feature branch for each ticket. Each pushed commit runs tests on CI. CI auto-deploys a dedicated ephemeral (short-lived) environment with a unique URL for each feature branch so people can test and approve *before* merge. Thus, no separate shared environments like UAT or staging are typically required. 3. When a PR is approved, we merge to main. The CI server auto-deploys the main branch to prod. If the feature isn’t ready for public use, hide it in prod via a feature flag.

Solved! Combine Solution Explorer with File Explorer. How to get easy access to all repository files and folders directly from within your Visual Studio solution with a new free extension.

This website has become an truly horrible place to hang out which is pretty annoying considering the Glastonbury community that has been built on it. There a few of us over on BlueSky now, come and join us. Let's keep the conversation going but in kinder environment.

Looks like we're all leaving. Bluesky seems better than Threads, you can search for posts, so it's not just an endless stream of people from Instagram. Everyone seems to be posting their profile here, like this: bsky.app/profile/stuartq.bsk… Come on over, let's make Elon irrelevant!

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one. Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

Elon Musk has suspended the "@SwapYourVote" account. SwapYourVote links 1 swing state protest voter with 2 safe state Dems. This boosts Dem votes in purple states and leftist votes in blue states. Elon hates that, because vote swapping can stop a Trump win. Sign up today!

Shocking price. But this tweet bodes well for if/when Oasis reunion tickets go on sale. Fair prices all round!!

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]

If you thought recursion was the answer, then you've clearly misunderstood the problem... and the solution... and maybe coding as well.

Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America. If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn’t even need to campaign.
