So today I decided to silence the Microsoft voices and give @Azure a go, less than 10 min later I had a static site deployed 🤯 Much better than AWS where 10min later I was still on hold trying to talk to someone about the verification charge to open my account 🤦‍♀️

I'm trying to get back into blogging about tech stuff I work on. Here is my latest attempt where I talk about the "stateful entities" support we're working on for Azure's Durable Functions. https://link.medium.com/4yDA6kDiMW

I love that the F# repo is now called dotnet/fsharp. I suggested dotnet/froslyn but @_cartermp wasn't amused.

Just found a C# 8 nullable reference types warning in Noda Time. Fixing it by changing Foo(x, x?.Bar) to Foo(x, x?.Bar!) which looks really dodgy... anyone want to guess why it's okay?

C# 8.0 will introduce a new feature over interfaces, called default implementation. It makes open-closed principle more flexible, without breaking existing codebase.

In less than 2 years http://docs.microsoft.com/ users have recorded 50,000 questions, suggestions, and bugs via the GitHub issues integration on the site. 80% of the issues have been resolved by the content authoring teams. This is a remarkable feat!👏👏👏 ...

To be clear, the problem isn’t tech. It’s the people being excluded from developing tech. We’ve created a monoculture of not-very-bright white boys, showered them with money, and told them they were geniuses.

The system is racist and sexist by design.

👇I've seen this pattern in the workplace

• Men are given opportunities based on their perceived potential
• Women & underrepresented folks have to prove themselves and their work for the same opportunity https://twitter.com/WoSECtweets/status/1132115714112925696

From where do recruiters on LinkedIn get the confidence to ask you if you'll be interested in moving to the middle to nowhere to work on a legacy Java app as part of a short-term contract? May all of us be blessed with that kinda confidence. 🙃
