People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

OSU football team wins the CFP Championship on Monday. OSU men’s basketball defeats a very good Purdue team, AT PURDUE, on Tuesday. It’s a good week to be a Buckeye!! #GoBucks

CFP National Champions!! GO BUCKS!!!

I just published “Building Serverless AI Agents using Durable Functions on Azure” blog.cgillum.tech/building-ser..., something I worked on over the holiday break. It references a recent essay published by the Anthropic research team about the best practices for building effective AI agents.

My team just launched a new "less BS" #AI page. Check the three links there with FREE GitHub (OSS MIT Licensed!) COURSEWARE on building apps, learning ML, and learning how to pair-program with Copilot developer.microsoft.com/ai

Watching the OSU game…

Surprised the family with seeing Sonic 3 on Thursday night. Loved it!

Hey #dotnet folks if you’re using a CI/CD double check your resource URLs. A CDN has gone bankrupt and may cease operations in the next month. We are working to make transparent fixes but you can be proactive github.com/dotnet/core/...

OSU men’s basketball handily defeated #4 team, OSU football won big in first CFP game, Bengals stomped on the Browns, AND my fantasy football team won huge in a playoff game. This was a great sports weekend! I’m worried.

Big news! We’ve got a new free tier of GitHub Copilot right inside of VS Code! github.blog/news-insight...

I’ll be very happy to see the family elf return to the North Pole. 😉

On Thursday, I received some really encouraging words from a colleague and mentor, along with insightful areas to invest in the future. It meant the world to me, especially after the past 6 months. I’m excited to keep moving forward, learning, and doing work that’s both fun and meaningful.

FINALLY get to see a Bengals win!

Going to give this a try!!

Spent most of today learning more about Aspire. Some concepts took a bit longer than I anticipated, but it’s starting to gel for me. Want to do more. I really like the inner loop dev experience. Unfortunately, didn’t get to as much Ignite content today as I hoped.

Much of my team is off today. Very few meetings. Time to catch up on Ignite, long delayed administrative stuff, and some general upskilling on Aspire, NET 9, and OpenAI.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

It’s officially *ichigan week. Best TTUN! GO BUCKS!!

I spent most of Friday ramping back up on .Net and Aspire. VSCode and full VS. Felt real good.

I’m looking forward to all the MSIgnite goodness this week.

Sunday was a great late fall day for smoking a brisket. Likely going to add some leftovers to a chili this week.

Great effort by my Bengals to come back in 2nd half to make a game of it. Just not enough, yet again. 😔

I hope Tyson drops this guy.

Doesn’t seem like Netflix is up for a large live streaming event yet. Keeps buffering for me on my TV.

Follow us here for updates on our 2025 show, slated for 2 May 2025! #stirtrek

Just finished season 2 of The Diplomat. 😳

Bad defense, again, and no Tee Higgins, again. Another Bengals loss. This week continues to 😔

As I work from home today, I’m definitely not eating my kid’s Halloween candy today.

Niiiice!

Does Apple Intelligence in Messages work yet? I’ve enabled it but don’t see any summary or suggested replies.

To help a colleague on Thursday, I did a little dev work using AZD, AVM, Azure Functions and .NET8. Ah, that was refreshing and fun! #Azure

This looks like a great project. Supported. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ham...

I'm looking for my next role! I've been in Developer Relations for ten years 😯 I'm equally comfortable as an individual contributor or people leader. If you know of any #DevRel opportunities, please send them my way! Learn more about me and my experience: https://reverentgeek.com/about/

How hard is it to hit the Decline button on a meeting invite that you know you’re not going to attend? Accept, Decline, or Maybe….it’s not that hard.

Finally finished watching Citadel on Amazon Prime. Enjoyed it. I wonder if/when there will be a 2nd season.

Finished the final episode of Ted Lasso. So good!

Highlight of the day: parent 1:1 night with my youngest son.

I did a little Azure Functions on Container Apps learning today. Wrote some code. Felt good!

I should catch up on emails and other office administrative stuff. I want to play with some new #Azure tech. What to do? 😉
