It has rained over 800" in Seattle since the #Mariners previously made the playoffs.
This is pretty cool even for a passive baseball fan. Full count, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, walk off homer. Pretty sure every kid with a baseball bat has fantasized about this in their backyard.
Long week, late night, drink in hand...time to configure my network gear. This should be fine, right?
Excited to share our latest software and data release with the world: a comprehensive open data atlas to help drive research and understanding of Alzheimer's Disease.
On a personal note, I'm almost as excited by the @NPR coverage as the release itself! 😅

It surprises me how many software people have never done this thought experiment: What if the industry was 72% women instead of men? What would your day be like? How would we define success? What behavior would be acceptable? How would software be different?
I'm reading about legal entities such as benefit corps and social purpose corps that allow for-profit corporations to elevate societal impacts equal to profits in decision-making.
Seems like a great model and I'm wondering why we don't see more examples of companies like this.
Sometimes making software is about building code up. But sometimes it's about building teammates up.
Any #dotnet expert out there who can explain the differences in outputs from ILogger?
When I run my service in a docker container, I see JSON with params, etc.
But when I run on my own dev machine, I'm just seeing the strings themselves.
Is there a way to unify the outputs?
It couldn't have helped the president's approval rating to shut down I-5 in Seattle during rush hour, right?
Collaborating a project with a protégé.
Him: "Hey, would you take a look at why this is failing?"

Him: "You wrote that part."
