I feel like people do not fully understand how much life changed for our species between 1900 and 2000.
I still struggle to comprehend it.
These events are 66 years apart.

Advice for jr. devs:
Interviewing as an engineer is hard, and for many folks takes practice. Learn from each interview you do, and improve on what you learned in each one. Whiteboarding and talking through tech solutions is a skill that takes practice. Be kind to yourself! 💙❤️

It's Saturday and you're reading Twitter?
Here go watch @markjbrown 's video on Consistency Models and learn how data behaves in a distributed database.
Twitter will still be here when you get back.
Didatic video explaining CosmosDB's data consistency model. Useful! #azure #cosmosdb

Do you like hand forming Json and calling New-AzResource to manage Cosmos DB resources?
Yeah, me neither. That's why we created all new PowerShell cmdlets!!!
New blog post: Manage Azure Cosmos DB with PowerShell
We got a TON of new Cosmos DB cmdlets that make using PowerShell to managing Cosmos DB resources super smooth! Supports all our database APIs.

Thanks @stuartleaveruk! Fun app and I learned a lot while deploying/customizing!
It's been done before, but I had a go at writing a real-time flight tracker (I did start before lockdown) with @AzureFunctions, @AzureCosmosDB, SignalR & @OpenSkyNetwork. Had fun & it may kickstart my blog.
