Made the mistake of listening to @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social 's Focus Group Podcast doing house chores this morning. Old conservative Trump voters claiming the last time the federal budget was balanced was during Reagan's term because he cut taxes and something supply side economics

Hey @martindotnet.bsky.social, do you have any pointers or links for good practices with naming Otel spans, activities, or metrics? Tagging too? We're closing in on one of those damn full point releases and I wanted to at least review what we already have, plus some existing user requests

I'd really love to hear from any thoughtful conservatives why they think doing this or Trump's budget bill is a good idea. Do they still legitimately believe in Supply Side Economics and the Laffer Curve? Or believe they don't benefit from anything the gov't does?

I distinctly remember kids blasting this song when we all staying in a college dorm during a high school basketball camp one summer. One hit wonder #SongOfTheDay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfCL... Remember when this CD was *everywhere* in used CD bins:)

Just had to merge conflicts in a bunch of csproj files just because of varying Nuget references, so no big deal. But remember how miserable that was when that was an every day thing before the project system didn't stink?

Hate doing cross-repository development when the upstream dependencies have to be changing too. I'm so looking forward to be done w/ my current wave of work so I won't have to do that much for the rest of the year.

From last night, a little bit about the forthcoming Marten 8 & Wolverine 4 releases on June 1st Critter Stack Release Plans jeremydmiller.com/2025/05/22/c...

Spilling a bowl of cereal on my keyboard was not, in retrospect, the best way to get off to a productive morning

Critter Stack Release Plans jeremydmiller.com/2025/05/22/c...

I frequently make the claim that the Critter Stack has the strongest story for multi-tenancy in the .NET ecosystem, but I feel like it's because we seem to be the only projects and community that cares that much about that. Am I wrong? What else is there?

If I listen to any kind of streaming station that's very particular for too long, I usually want something very different next. So I just ended up switching from Motley Crue to Dean Martin. Little jarring! Also, Dino was just so good.

My 11yo is in the next room on his first day of summer vacation being loud playing Minecraft with a friend. I'm getting back at him by singing along at the top of my lungs to La Grange

I've been a little disappointed by how long it's taken me to finish a big new feature for Wolverine, but I just squashed 32 commits for the pull request for it to keep the history cleaner and I'm granting myself a little more grace about how much work it turned out to be

ZOMG I hate it so much when folks demand that your tool integrate with some new, other thing on day one. Just this week it's been yet more strong typed identifier junk, new versions of Aspire causing friction, and now folks wanting ULID support in Marten.

Got a giant pile of things to do at work, so how and where do you start? I handle that at various times by: * Minimize context switching and just continue some bigger effort I was already in the middle of * Pick the highest priority thing * Just pick something fun or easy to get moving

Crazy that the Dems are the party who is much more deeply unpopular, but then again, a big chunk of that is from not being able to beat back the GOP

Big post from yesterday: Message Concurrency, Parallelism, and Ordering with Wolverine jeremydmiller.com/2025/05/21/m...

Listening to some Beach Boys today, and it's such a trip from the silly, fun surfing and cars songs to Pet Sounds in just a few years. #SongOfTheDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lP8...

My kids are watching a relatively new Scooby Doo cartoon movie tonight. And because I'm nerdy enough to know this, Fred is *still* the original voice actor dating back to the original show from '69

Very early this morning I happened to glance at a blurb celebrating the 30th anniversary of this album. I immediately thought that was impossible because today's #SongOfTheDay was my favorite song on the radio the spring I finished college, but yeah, I'm old: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW6E...

Re-upping this one just because it's a useful tool to have in your toolbox when doing modular monoliths and asynchronous processing: jeremydmiller.com/2024/05/16/w...

Message Concurrency, Parallelism, and Ordering with Wolverine jeremydmiller.com/2025/05/21/m... #dotnet #wolverine

My younger son had his 5th grade graduation ceremony this morning before being promoted to middle school here. I was a little shocked at what a big production it was, in a good way. Saw at least 7-8 boys go through that I'd coached on youth sports teams over the years.

Feel weirdly old explaining to a younger collaborator that we used to have to actually go physically work at the client's site as software consultants as he's about to go spend some time working remotely on another continent

Doing the time honored agile approach of splitting out smaller stories from a giant one just so I can say the big one is actually finished

Think it does bug me a little bit that trying to find the reference to "a time to sew and a time to reap" gives you a bunch of AI answer junk that doesn't mention the Bible verse.

Updating this for "a day to raise new issues in the back log and a day to close completed issues in the back log" www.bible.com/bible/compar.... More of the first for me today

Re-upping this one because it came up today. How to make a message handler in Wolverine *also* be a Wolverine HTTP endpoint: jeremydmiller.com/2024/10/20/c...

I think you're permanently on the mailing list for any software conference you've ever submitted to. I still get emails from a conference I spoke at in '08 and have never gone back to (but always wanted to). Love getting a flood of emails from conferences that always reject me:(

Wouldn't say this is completely black and white, but if you're using Event Sourcing w/ a tool like Marten that does have reasonably robust support for Projections, I think that you probably shouldn't ever be needing to use database joins or very much DTO mapping at all in your "query side"

New videos popping up from Jordan Klepper talking to Texas A&M kids after watching a Charlie Kirk rally. It's reinforcing every stereotype about Aggies for me:( Think I'll not share this with my Aggie wife though:-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePbM...

Bouncing back and forth today from working in a utility library with no external infrastructure dependencies and big integration tests for multi-tenancy in both Marten & Wolverine. Give you one guess which codebase is quickest and easiest to work in.

Just letting my Americana station play for another day. Going for a relatively chill #SongOfTheDay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dks1...

Marten is almost a decade old, been used by a lot of shops, and we *still* occasionally hit oddball edge case usages from new folks that cause hiccups in extremely stable APIs that catch me by surprise.

Working more w/ EF Core migrations this week to try to finish off our new multi-tenancy support w/ EF Core in Wolverine and it's made me feel quite proud of what we did for migrations in Marten
