The minute I start swearing at the work I'm doing I know I've lost it. I just walk away and come back when I'm calmer. You can't think when you're furious and thinking and remembering are what is needed to solve the problem you're having. Patience and learning how to fix your mistakes are what it takes to be a good carpenter. DON'T FIGHT YOUR WORK If you find a job is frustratingly difficult and that you are fighting your work, then something is materially wrong. Do not berate yourself by saying such things as "I'm stupid, I'm weak" or "I can't do this." Those are thoughts that do not help solve the problem. The problem is not within you; it is somewhere in the work. Remain calm and begin analyzing the material aspects of the situation. Now evaluate and inspect the job again: 1. Is your body positioned to give the most leverage and strength? Reposition yourself and try again. 2. Are you using the right tool? Do you need another? 3. Is a screw or nail holding and you failed to notice? 4. Are you turning the nut in the right direction? 5. Are you using the right method?-- try another. Do not get frustrated at yourself; look to your method. Dale McCormick, Against the Grain: A Carpentry Manual for Women

Loved this bit from Against the Grain: A Carpentry Manual for Women by Dale McCormick so much that I typed it up and pinned it over my desk (h/t Michelle Millar Fisher on insta www.instagram.com/p/DM2S05bOKk...)

We're definitely in the AI exploration phase, separating real value from hype. Meaningful use cases will emerge once the dust settles. Best to be nice to our future overlords ;)

Speed up Creating Code with Live Templates in JetBrains Rider or ReSharper For the past few weekends, I’ve been working rebuilding a library I wrote to make it easier to use Azure Storage. I started this library about 4 or 5 years ago, and it did not have ‘true’ unit tests. I’m not going to talk about what makes a good unit test and what doesn’t. There are plenty of posts around that! I decided to rewrite all of the tests and move to xUnit. After creating about the 50th test or so, I noticed a pattern in the initial shell of the tests. Most of the tests looked like this.

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Screenshot of Visual Studio's NuGet UI where the option 'Show only vulnerable' is ticked and the search results says 'No packages found'.

The 'Show only vulnerable' in the NuGet UI is my new Inbox Zero! 😃

Say the compliment out loud. I have some coworkers I really dig working with. I think that every time we do projects. So SAY it.

“I really enjoy working with you! We always get it done and it’s always super collaborative!”

Don’t just THINK the compliment. Say it. Then tell their boss.
