Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation.
More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

I published 'ssh': a .NET tool that mimics OpenSSH 'ssh' (built with Tmds.Ssh!)
You can invoke it as 'dotnet ssh' after a tool install ('dotnet tool update -g ssh')
or with .NET 10 p6's new 'dnx' command run: 'dnx ssh'

What do you do when you catch candidates cheating with AI during interviews? (when it is upfront forbidden)
When it is obvious, i.e. they have no clue what they write, why, or start parroting encyclopedic knowledge without saying why.

Started thinking about experimenting with AI during interviews.
Idea: allow candidates to use it and yet still be able to find out if they might be good hires.
Why? ... AI is here, we use it in daily jobs. Why not during interview?

Interview feedback on the spot:
I interview quite a lot, let's say 150-200 interviews per year and I love it.
One thing I started doing more often this year is to give feedback immediately at the end of the interview (mostly tech screens lately).
