This is so dumb. Error handling, observability, DLQ mechanics, back pressure, circuit breakers, managing the broker, *documentation*. So much crap you don't want to write and manage forever as an undocumented one off tool.
Been there, done that, inflicted it on others, inherited from others.

I think from here on out I will never criticize any public OSS project who's at least made a real effort for how their documentation content is organized. It's *hard* to organize docs in a way that helps lead readers to exactly what they need as the tooling gets bigger.

And also, I'm old enough that I remember when markdown wasn't yet a quasi standard and you authored technical web pages sometimes in raw HTML. Shudder.

Doing a little bit of technical writing today. Dunno the complete counts over the years, but besides Wikipedia articles (duh), I think the sources I've linked to the most are:

Started the new Black Company book this week. Having trouble with Lady suddenly being a sweet Aunt character.
Cool to have a sequel to the main sequence after all these years. Easily one of my all time favorite fantasy series even though it can be bleak sometimes

"Bullshit Pickleball" made me laugh
These two are like bullshit pickleball.
BARTIROMO: All of this is part of an overall conspiracy the DOJ is trying to put together, starting with Russia collusion, the Mar-a-Lago raid. Was January 6 part of that?
COMER: I wonder who knew. Did Jamie Raskin, who's the most dishonest member of Congress, know & then go along with the coverup?

*I* worry about being accessible as much as possible for my clients just in case, and I'm not in charge of anything that would ever be life threatening.
Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA.
Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.

Recording a podcast next week maybe on transitioning from MediatR (or any mediator tool really) to Wolverine. Any requests or suggestions for us to cover?

Not to stir up a fight, but I still like the "Van Haggar" incarnation of Van Halen. I think maybe it's easier if you just think of Van Halen as two separate bands who just happened to have the same name and just enjoy each for what they were.

I did try to read a Wall Street Journal article today about a GOP alternative to the ACA. Nothing but expanding HSA's and maybe some new tax cuts. Pure pre-Trump Republican ideology.
Republicans "discussing concepts" of a health care plan as millions face price hikes and losing coverage.
NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative
There is no legislative product yet.
No consensus in the party about a plan.
But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

I'm still adamant that you can get better results and much simpler code just using Wolverine.HTTP endpoints than you can with any kind of "Wolverine as MediatR" usage. Emulating MediatR just junks up your code IMO.

I'm perfectly okay with a "walk and chew gum at the same time" approach
Spanberger and Sherrill did attack Trump frontally, including on things like his ballroom, but I agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social that Dems absolutely can't conclude that affordability is his primary vulnerability. The lawbreaking and corruption matter too!

Democrats Become High On Their Own "Affordability" Supply
Hit Trump wherever he's weak, but don't subordinate all other politics to sticker prices, letting him off the hook for most of the reasons voters hate him.
