Just had an amazing random interaction with a new founder explaining his startup to me.
Him: "Do you know Terraform?"
Me: "I do!"
Him: <explains TF concepts>
Me: "I've got it yeah, I started the project."
Him: "Wait, what?"
I tried to joke it off as much as possible (I really don't care), but I think he died a little bit inside. 😭 I wasn't even going to tell him, honestly, but I felt bad he was spending time explaining TF concepts that I helped create so I cut him short.
What political ideology is it when you hate the left and hate the middle and really fucking hate the right... That's where I'm at

Gemini’s reasoning capabilities mean it can understand more about a user’s intent, and use tools to generate bespoke user experiences that go beyond chat interfaces.
Here’s what that looks like in action. ↓ #GeminiAI

How long is the dismiss (and close) button on this apps analytics modal overlay going to remain broken? Been literal months and I accidentally open this thing a few times every day and every time I have to completely reload and start doomscrolling from the top again

Dear South Africa,
I hope this letter leaves you well.
Wishing you only good things.
Okay. Love you. Bye.

Very glad Jason Wodicka's session at Codegarden, "The Brilliance of Not Being Brilliant", was recorded to watch back afterwards. What a brilliant (pun intended) session that was! 🧠

I decided lunch in the park was the right way to end off my time in Odense for my first #codegarden. Thank you @umbraco and the community! Truly a special event
We started the day with a Padel Tournament, and it was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who joined in😄
Can you spot yourself (or someone you know) in any of the photos? 👀

I often typo it "nom start" instead of "npm start" and then after a quick giggle I go and get a snack in order to start nomming #nodejokes

@lootcoza my order has been stuck on "Pending. Waiting for review" for a couple of days. DGJS-281-B160
Also I've not received contact regarding a refund request in order DGKS-280-BA80. Should I just drop it off anyway?
