Okay, 🧐 from an @Office365 youthful point of view, @InfoPathDev never existed so when i see that the Sway blog has not been updated since 2017 and the last official Sway video is 11 months old i just jave to take a screenshot of the Sway app just in case it disappears 👻 https://twitter.com/BryanWilhite/status/1123661538437390336/photo/1

what is so important about @Office365 Sway?

• when you want Slides with responsive design built in
• when you want the same experience as PDF but mobile/tablet friendly
• it should continue to be regarded as a compelling application of @onedrive
• it made @maryjofoley happy

I’ve always been proud that Microsoft’s founding moment is building a tool for developers. So it was a fun moment for me at #MSBuild to spend a few minutes with this Altair just prior to Satya getting on stage.

What are yours? Please share, I’d love to hear them. 😊 https://twitter.com/jeffsand/status/1126303320077787139/photo/1

In computer science, Decision tree learning uses a decision tree (as a predictive model) to go from observations about an item (represented in the branches) to conclusions about the item's target value (represented in the leaves) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_tree_learning

day-job learnings:

• elasticsearch culture is everywhere
• @AzureFunctions without orchestration was kind of not very useful a little bit
• extension methods should never cross any kind of mockable ‘boundary’ out of respect for functional programming

If someone is claiming that 'science' for a reason a device works a certain way, be skeptical, particularly if its related to social science. For example, the bullshit Google spins about the Android UX/UI which is called out in this piece.

Being a programmer means:

• waking up each day to tackle problems
• find workarounds and evaluate tradeoffs
• get yelled at by compilers and tools
• figure out interesting solutions
• feel exhilarated when things seem to work
• then, go to bed thinking I don't know a sh..zzzz
