WTF happened to Bill?
“I wish we could ignore Bill Gates on the climate crisis. But he’s a billionaire, so we can’t,” says George Monbiot. “His [recent climate] essay reads like nothing so much as a peace offering to Donald Trump.” [theguardian.com]

Money talks – and his essay denouncing ‘near-term emissions goals’ at Cop30 mostly argues the case for letting the ultra-rich off the hook

I need some advice. I'm looking at a new laptop for work and it seems they've all gone OLED which sounds great, but the shiny frickin' finishes on OLED scare me a little. I've used a matte screen for so long. Am I worried for nothing? Or should I stick with matte? (Especially Developers)

Minimal APIs in .NET 6 are a great way to create microservices, but for other types of applications, Minimal APIs give you a great way to prototype more complex, deep APIs. In this video I delve into using Minimal APIs and even closures with APIs in this technique for creating APIs.

Every developer has faced the “buy vs. build” dilemma. Truth is, reinventing the wheel can cost way more than you think—both in dollars and lost focus. Adopt existing solutions where possible and spend your energy where it matters #UseWhatWorks
Build or Adopt: Stop Building Your Own Plumbing
Once upon a time, I worked with Chris Sells and the software arm of DevelopMentor (trip down memory lane, huh). We built a developer tool and it was my first experience working on a product where developers were our primary customer. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Let's talk about it.
