This is a great example of medical bias in action.. What makes our anxiety distinct is the context that we experience it within, as that context isn’t shared with NTs it doesn’t fit the ‘named’ anxiety conditions. Seems they need to name more anxiety conditions, rather than blame ‘autism’.

Received a coupon for 1 free GitHub Copilot Certification attempt, but I've already passed the exam. Is there anyone I'd make happy?

I bought a Nurosym as part of a research study and I've found it beneficial in reducing my migraine attacks and back problems. If you were thinking of getting one, get one through my referral link and get a USD45/GBP35/EUR40 discount. nurosym.refr.cc/35GBP-candy-...

📣 This just in... The open source and official GitHub MCP Server is here 🤩 github.blog/changelog/20...

Playing around with MCP in @vscode.dev and one of the things that struck me is the usage of .env files to store tokens. The guidance from @enthropic.bsky.social is to at least make this "secure" by adding the .env file to your .gitignore file, but I'd rather not do that either.

Was juggling Node versions today in order to run the Playwright MCP server in Visual Studio Code using a different version of Node than the one I was using to run my active project. I succeeded with `nvs` and captured the solution here: jessehouwing.net/vscode-runni... #githubcopilot #mcp

Last week I had the privilege to attend the #mvpsummit on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. A 10-year anniversary for me (12 if you count my 2 private invitations the years before). It's always great meeting friends, sharing stories over dinner and enjoying beers with friends.

This is an easy one for me. I've been sharing knowledge and getting people unstuck! Find me on Q&A, stack overflow, slack or my blog. #Mvpspledgetolearn

Had some issues with my Lenovo z16 webcam driver. The Realtek driver that's detected automatically often fails to initialize in Teams and causes issues with Windows Hello. Changing the driver to the generic Microsoft USB Video Device driver fixes these issues.

Got a set of google pixelbuds pro from a friend, and when I pair them in windows they still show up with his initials instead of my name. I can rename the device on Android just fine, but windows keeps his... Anyone know how I can reset this?

It looks like a lot of hashtag #android developers aren't aware that @github.com Copilot is available for their IDE. Android Studio is "just another @jetbrains.com IDE" and you can install copilot in a few simple steps! I've asked Copilot to tell you how ;)>

Worked with Michael from Agile Extensions to remove all the Azure DevOps Personal Access Tokens from his workflows. Now he never has to regenerate an access token and try to figure out where it was stored, ever again. You should do the same, if you are using PATs! jessehouwing.net/azure-devops...

Last time I flew to the US I used my Garmin jetlag advisor and it was a great help preparing and adjusting to the new timezone. Packing hiking boots to maximize my time outdoors again. #mvpbuzz #mvpsummit
