Sometimes I only need a simple answer from AI, but it gives me a much longer explanation, just in case. This…might be the case.

Ever have one of those days where you are so tired that while you’re catching up on emails at work you nod off with your finger on the ‘e’ key and end up accidentally archiving your entire email inbox? That would be a pretty wild thing to have happen, wouldn’t it?

missed opportunity to call it YAYAML

Kubernetes Will Solve YAML Headaches with KYAML

The new KYAML subset just for K8s relieves the need to count white spaces and solves the age-old "Norway" issue.

It's so easy to take http://ASP.NET for granted. Try writing a web app in Node.JS if you want to realize just how many batteries are included and how much time that saves you.

Ah, the peaceful quiet of the first 10 minutes of the workday, before my laptop fan starts running full tilt for the next 8 hours.

If you regularly delete people who are CC'd on an email thread that is no longer relevant to them, you deserve a raise

I allowed a domain name to expire today. Some of you know what a big step that is.

Oh shit, they were handing out free Choco Tacos at Baird Night at the Zoo like 4 days ago. Had no idea I was having such a priceless experience. Live in the moment, eh

The hold music for our PCI Compliance vendor is a song I immediately recognized from @replyall, so I’ve got that going for me

My dog has learned the sound when I end a Teams call and comes over for pets when she hears it and this is why I can never go back to the office

So I have to confess
This song gets stuck in my head sometimes
It's called "Kill Dash Nine"
Which is a Unix thing
And it's going to get much, much nerdier

I'm attending a conference for the mortgage biz next week, and so far this month I've gotten OVER TWO HUNDRED unsolicited emails from their sponsors.

Anyway, that doesn't happen with @ThatConference and I want them to know how much I appreciate it.

Cool so what do you do when @fedex delivers to the wrong house? Wait for your neighbors to get home and pray your expensive shit isn’t out in freezing temps for days, or go play hide-and-seek and pray nobody thinks you’re a porch pirate?

TFW you find the quietest, most out-of-the-way part of the airport, where there are no people and abundant seating, and you take off your mask and enjoy your Big Breakfast with Hotcakes, and nothing interrupts you.

Wait, that’s an actual word?

It seems like every couple days when I search for Wordle, the actual game has fallen another spot in the results in favor of news articles about Wordle. Will SEO be the thing that finally kills the fad?

If we’re being honest #Windows11, I don’t think you know me well enough to say that.

Daniel Laughland @jabberwik.bsky.social · Nov 16

I keep mistyping "dotnet" as "gotnet" (because I'm *that* good at keyboards) and honestly I'm surprised I haven't seen it on a @shanselman t-shirt yet.

When @BGBarrister calls me the caller ID says “BG BARRISTER MF” and I know it means Mayfair but I still always read it in Samuel L. Jackson’s voice in my head

Catch you on the other side! #Windows11

A thought-provoking read, which looks back at the first era of social networking, the tradeoffs those sites created with their social graphs, and how the dawning second era is challenging them https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2021/9/29/and-you-will-know-us-by-the-company-we-keep
