Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

So I was always told by MSFT folks that I shouldn't assign to malice things that can be explained by incompetence... Can someone tell me which one of those happened yesterday? Thanks!

So workers are supposed to left politics behind before coming to job, while executives can just do it during keynotes of biggest conferences. I'm glad there's equality here... oh wait.

My reason to be renewed as an MVP was always "My daughter is proud of me receiving an award". I think you can skip this argument after todays appearances at #msbuild conference.

I wonder how all my... social-aware friends at MSFT feel about Elmo being part of MSBuild keynote? Should I ping y'all here? :>

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

I am genuinely stunlocked that they brought him into this conf. Just shows a complete misunderstanding of who MSFT customers are. The largest geographical share of MSFT dev tools are in Europe, where most of that world runs on .NET. He is hated over there now, and for good reason.

Hey #dotnet - I'm headed to #MSBuild this year! I'll be there all week talking about AI-Assisted modernization, but I'd love to talk with you about the .NET SDK and CLI, MSBuild, or other fundamentals as well! Looking forward to seeing everybody!

Anyone from #fsharp community going to be at Lambda Days in Krakow? I still haven't got the ticket, but given I was at 10 previous editions, I guess I should go...

I kinda find it fascinating when conference has a choice of "dude who co-created Copilot" vs "random MVP selling useless MSFT library for doing AI" picks latter :>

So many tenured and principal-level folks hit in the Microsoft layoffs. It was intentional that they targeted the “expensive” people. A friend recently hit 25 years, got the reward, and was now laid off. Such an unbelievable amount of institutional knowledge now gone and not coming back.

My heart goes out to anyone who was let go today ❤️ A lay off (or even a performance-based firing) isn’t a statement about you as a person or your character. YOU ARE NOT YOUR WORK. DM‘s are open, happy to chat.

👉🏻 “OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience” 🔗 arstechnica.com/ai/2025/04/c... With Google possibly forced to sell Chrome, this would be a scary outlook. The web is so much more than just asking an LLM things and Chrome is the de-facto standard.

🚀 We shipped a few updates last week: 1. The Tags page has new view and sort options. 2. The command menu now includes contextual note actions if viewing a note page. 3. Clicking "New note" while viewing a list filtered by tag will prefill your new note with that tag. Thanks to Zakher Masri! ❤️
