Someone needs to do a mockumentary series on bigfoot hunters and the film crew interacts with a Sasquatch and the hunters are clueless.

There's a Windows LinkedIn app? Why?

It's not dating until you meet someone. Meet people first.

Good point. I'm sure there are reasons why that might not be optimal, but I'd be guessing at what those reasons might be.

Maybe you're referring to VSA in practice rather than theory 😉

So a paid Nuget server that orgs can pay to use that maintainers can publish to and fees get distributed to maintainers (based on some percentage)?

A layer is well defined. It's more than grouping concerns. I.e. layers would typically be used by multiple slices, but one layer could be unique to the slice.

Peter Ritchie @peterritchie.com · 3d

To what end? Just for certain packages, or as a service that orgs can use?

Peter Ritchie @peterritchie.com · 3d

It's a slice of layers, if there are no layers then it's not vertical slice architecture.

If you create a Codespace from a PR that was started by the GitHub Copilot agent, the clone of the git repo/branch that will be in the codespace will be a *shallow* clone which makes it difficult to rebase/merge against the branch.

You can fix this by running `git fetch --unshallow`.

I have #UniGetUI installed on my personal laptop and there are updates just about every day. It's blocked from being installed on my work laptop and there are rarely updates installed. Seems less secure. 😕

I wonder if there will be such a thing as rolling AI outages or AI brownouts when grid usage is near capacity?
