My @frame.work laptop was overheating and the fans were driving me nuts. Any other laptop I probably would have just spent 3k on another one, but with this one I spent 19.99 on some new thermal paste, popped it open, applied it and now it works perfectly. #righttorepair #framework

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Yikes! Thanks for posting about it. I’ll follow up with the team

My observation is schools and universities in general have done not a great job of prepping graduates to think critically. I think the broad adoption of AI for school age kids is only going to make that worse. Critical thinking skills is the number one thing I look for in a candidate FWIW

From my time at AWS, we did use AWS for everything, but I personally found the customer experience better than our internal tooling.

At Microsoft, atleast on my team, the tooling is the same as our customers except we are on an insider ring, so we dogfood features first

Mine is the nautilus. So excited to explore the oceans!

For those of you tuning in to #MinecraftLive, what are you most excited about?

Oh it was clear. Thanks for the thoughtful responses and this thread in general ❤️

Yeah that’s super tough. You are right, as a company, your responsibility is to your company and employees, not the greater good necessarily, which goes back to what I think the real solution is. It’s not a company, or some savior politician, but coalitions of normal people making their voices heard

The real solution is in the hands of voters. Vote in all elections, local and national. Tell the politicians what you will and won’t put up with with your vote and your dollars

They don’t push back hard, they move the boundary further and further out. I think they could just push to take the video down like any IP enforcement take down without making it political. This would atleast send a message of “that’s our stuff, don’t use our stuff”

Realistically though I think

I don’t know what I would do in that situation, I’d like to think I would fight them but I’ve also never had that many people I was responsible for. I’d only like to mention that from my observations this administration keeps pushing at the boundaries to see what people/companies will do, and when

Can’t wait for players to see what we all have been working on #Minecraft #Mojang #MinecraftLive

It’s important for the internet to know that my son scored the winning goal today in his U10 soccer team.

Can’t wait until November for my @frame.work 16!

This randomly popped up on my feed, your post on getting started with Minecraft is very good and your blog looks fantastic!

@frame.work just wanted to say that I continue to love your laptop. I ordered my framework 13 in 2021 and it’s still going strong. I’ve used it for work at AWS, Disney, and Microsoft. Cannot recommend it enough. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I reached out to Mike Collins office multiple times to ask about his stance on pieces of legislation the last few months and the response was “You can’t expect Mr. Collins to have insight on all legislation being voted on”

Actually yes I can, it’s his job. This dude is awful for Georgia

McDonald's What cleaning dishes at McDonald's taught me about software engineering

I asked on LinkedIn a few weeks back if people would be interested in my insights on my career and a lot of folks said yes, so I started a newsletter called “Why Did They Hire Me”. I’m a little rusty with writing but here is my first post.

Not sure if this happens to others who work on games, but sometimes it’s easy to forget how fun the game you’re working on really is. Had a chance the last few days to play Minecraft just to play it, not to test a thing or verify a bug, but just to play it and what a delight it was

It’s never too early

Don't miss Creator Camp—a two-day live event packed with technical tutorials, an overview of tools, everything you need to master the art of building in Minecraft and Roundtables with the Minecraft Creator team. aka.ms/creatorcamp (I’ll be part of the Q&A)

I’m going to call and email his office daily until he tells me what the plan is to make sure my local libraries have the funding they need to provide the services my community wants and needs

You should do the same for your representatives

I called Mike Collins’ office to ask about the IMLS funding being cut and the guy answering the phone said he couldn’t provide any information on such a niche issue. How are libraries niche?

I’m probably biased since I work at Microsoft/Mojang but my wife and I are millennials and loved it as did our kids (6 and 10)😁

Anyone out there make custom blocks for Minecraft Bedrock edition? I’d love to learn more about your developer experience and workflow. #minecraft #creators #developerexperience

Minecraft Live is today!

I’m not a streamer but does it count that I built Minecraft from source code today on my framework laptop? 🙂. So it’s good for playing games AND making games
