Just because issues have been around a while doesn't mean they're not still issues. Disappearing forms in your #Sitecore instance have been an issue since v9 and they're perhaps more likely under Docker? But they're an easy issue to avoid if you know what's up: blog.jermdavis.dev/posts/2025/d...

While I do not really care for the Sportsball that I believe is on later, this owl I saw a few years back at a falconry show is indeed superb.

A few years ago, when renewing my broadband contract, I would have sworn that the "phone to talk to customer support" experience could not be worse. Today I have experienced the "no phone, only chat" replacement for that. And it is worse in literally every way. Thanks economics. Thanks a bunch.

Just read someone describing the joy of an "old" product as "it does just one thing and does it well without hand-holding and interruptions and attempting to rope you into a conversation with an amorous customer relations database" and doesn't that just sum up so much of the modern world....

Note to self: When shopping for second-hand cars, do not climb into the rear seats to check legroom and close the doors without first checking if the child-locks are on. Especially if the car salesman has wandered off out of sight... #ShouldHaveKnownThatWouldBeAnIssue

I wrote a bit about "low change" integration of Entra External ID as login for a #Sitecore website a while back - but further project discussion lead to trying Ping Identity as well. They offer a different model - where you don't need all the redirects: blog.jermdavis.dev/posts/2024/i...

Been getting into the weeds on some #Sitecore GraphQL stuff, and this "cheat sheet" from @amitmnath.bsky.social has been very helpful: gist.github.com/AmitKumar-AK... Has given me syntax for a few things I'd failed to work out from the docs... Cheers sir!

On the blog this week, I got to spend some time doing a bit of memory-leak debugging recently. It lead to a #Sitecore issue for which variations can also affect any .Net code. So if you want to avoid leaking RAM, think about your events: blog.jermdavis.dev/posts/2024/e...

I've spent time recently looking at memory optimisation in some C# code to make it run faster. I was looking at a ray tracer, but the same concepts apply to websites and any other code. The ideas might help you too, so I wrote up some of the things I looked at: blog.jermdavis.dev/posts/2024/o...
