It's always a joy to upgrade to the latest version of LINQPad (in this case 9). Not a product to rest on it's laurels, and always evolving. Perfect to help you learn, explore and experiment with C# and LINQ.

It looks like the Quartz article is date May 21st?

I appreciate things are still not good for Target, but I think this specific story is a little dated.

Aboard Business Software. Built by AI. Perfected by People

This by @ftrain.bsky.social from aboard.com resonates so much with me - " I grew up reading about software. Now you have to try everything, or watch videos of people trying things. That’s exhausting and expensive, whereas reading is cheap and fastβ€”and you can skip to the pricing if you’re bored."

Excited by the "Secret Squirrel" hints from @psbhq.bsky.social today, about a possible small US tour. Hope they can stop by a major city beside a large lake, but appreciate these tours are no small undertaking (and probably more recently, less attractive than ever)

This sounds like a great alternative to Deno or BunJS, which I currently use for such utility script and small app scenarios. Truly extending the "NET Everywhere" BHAG πŸ˜€ #dotnet

Apologies. That was a really badly worded reply by me. I should have said 'our' versus 'your' in the first sentence, as the comment was about our industry and not aimed at you. I think both yourself and @scott.hanselman.com are great examples of people creating 'professional' and 'fun' content.

22.03.2025 18:28 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Is part of the issue with 'fun' that your total online presence is perceived as one big virtual LinkedIn profile? So if people create content, they feel it must be 'professional' and reflect their opinions and expertise on a topic?

I know they're not a perfect fit for all use cases, but I wish we could push #pwa apps harder to gain more adoption and user awareness #open-web
