The 2025 StackOverflow #developer survey is out: survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/

Seeing Notepad++ as the 3rd most popular #dev IDE has me really questioning the validity of these surveys 🙃

Screenshot of a post from the PC master race subreddit. It says "Man please stop dodging me I'm trying to conserve minuscule amounts of cpu/memory". Below, a photo of someone banging their desk with the text "When I try to end a task in task manager just for the app to jump to another spot causing me to end some other fuckass app"

If you hold CTRL, it will pause Task Manager so the processes don't move around when you're sorted by resource usage

I’ve used Azure Table Storage with C# and loved it. I didn’t realize there was a PowerShell module for it until this post. Thanks!

I attended my second PSConfEU event in Malmö, Sweden, and had a great time again! In this (long) blog post, I will recap the four days and share what I saw and learned, the people I met, and things I did during that time.

Some of my most fondest memories of managers, are of ones whom I knew nothing about what they actually did day-to-day, but how they made me feel, and how they fought for me. I am forever grateful.

Have you heard about the Microsoft Artifact Repository yet?

MAR has official container images, application frameworks, and #PowerShell modules. It helps ensure a more secure supply chain than the public PowerShell Gallery can provide. 📦🔏

I'm pretty proud of this presentation, it goes through a bunch of places you can run #PowerShell in #Azure, and emphasizes how great managed identities are.

Have you heard of scrollbar-color?

It's a nice little progressive enhancement for making scrollbars feel more intentional and integrated into your UI.

Congrats! Very well deserved 🙂

Cool, I hadn’t heard of that project 👍

I do like tho that this will be natively supported by dotnet, so no external tools required.

This is very cool and I see it as a nice alternative to writing #PowerShell / #Bash / #Python for simple scripts; write them in #CSharp, but still have an easy to read and modify text file, instead of a compiled exe.

An advanced #dotnet profiler? I’ll have to give this a try. Looks sweet.
