Congrats to both of you! 👏
After more than a decade leading the Advocacy team at JetBrains and going from just myself to approximately a team of 30, I'm stepping down from the role and handing the baton over to @maartenballiauw. Maarten is an awesome advocate, lead, and human being. He has the exact 1/n

I was around when we used SMB, COM+ & the GAC to share code🤓. NuGet was such an improvement in dev experience. Other forgotten heroes are @maartenballiauw & @xavierdecoster with MyGet that generously enabled alternative feeds for OSS long before Azure Artifacts&GitHub packages❤️

Zelfde verhaal in Lichtervelde. Streaming problemen (incl. conference calls).
Hey @Telenet, laatste 2 weken issues in Veldegem. Is het een gekend probleem? Gelukkig is @ProximusGroup er nog met 4G.

Ik werk ruim 7j remote. Men vraagt me vaak of lockdown voor mij verschil maakt. Ja! Gewonnen vrije tijd ging plots naar faciliteren thuisonderwijs. Het "echte" sociaal leven (buiten het werk om) werd onmogelijk. Dit is/was geen "normaal telewerk". Men wordt de spreidstand beu.
‘Steeds meer mensen zijn het telewerk beu’ - En daarna komt er geen enkel bewijs voor die stelling. standaard.be/cnt/dmf20210322…

Lots of innovation. Good times indeed!
Good times. @paulstovell starting out @OctopusDeploy, @TripleEmcoder starting with SymbolSource, @ferventcoder doing @chocolateynuget, ... I think between all of us we pushed for the idea of "private feeds", too. Issue #366 on CodePlex :-D archive.codeplex.com/?p=nuge…

Awesome thread that nicely explains how the most known covid vaccines work – at Harelbeke, België
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

**Update on the TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecation plan for NuGet.org** We will temporarily remove support for TLS 1.0/1.1 to help you identify systems that may be affected and take action. Check out this post for more info - devblogs.microsoft.com/nuget…
Today marks my 5th year @microsoft! Time flies! Happy to have contributed a few things to NuGet along the way, including some features I wanted to add for a long time such as SemVer support and package deprecation.

Not everyone sees the hard work our team often is doing behind the scenes, and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone I work(ed) with so far for their learnings and growth mindset, and for their willingness to support and adopt a remote working environment.

I'm attending @azugbe #cloudbrew! In case you're interested in attending one or two days of #Azure with great Belgian and international speakers (and perhaps a beer or two), head over to cloudbrew.be/ and register!

I don't eat cake at midnight, so I had a Belgian beer instead :) Glad the package deprecation feature is so well received. Keep that feedback coming!
Replying to @karann9 @buhakmeh
Thanks for the cake. The NuGet team loved it 👍🏽

If you don't own a binary, please don't push it to NuGet.

Calling all @nuget users - How do use the #NuGet package title metadata field? Will you miss it if it went away?
32%pkg title. what's that?
11%I leave it blank
31%I set it = pkg Id
27%treat it like 1 line desc
