First thoughts on @Apple iOS 26 … Do you remember @Windows Vista and its Aero interface of 2006? Yeah we didn’t love or miss that glass interface either.

Hey @netflix, please add the ability to turn off games. I have consoles and a PC for gaming. You're just pushing the content out of the way that I do want to consume.

Finally caught up on @TheTraitorsUK and it basically ended the way I predicted it. #TheSeer being publicly known took away any tension. #TraitorsUK #Traitors
The @TheTraitorsUK finale feels obvious now. The Seer card in One Night Werewolf works because no one can confirm who the seer was or who they chose to see, and players can lie about being the seer. The Faithfuls have been handed victory on a plate. #Traitorsuk

I've just finished #StarTrekProdigy Season Two and this has some of the best modern #StarTrek story telling. For me, it ranks alongside #StrangeNewWorlds and above #Picard and #Discovery. Yes it was designed as a kids show, but it treats the audience with respect and maturity.

Crowdstrike Analysis: It was a NULL pointer from the memory unsafe C++ language. Since I am a professional C++ programmer, let me decode this stack trace dump for you.

I've been working hard on adding the ability to manage #CORS response headers to my security module for @episerver #CMS. This weekend I've published the beta version of Stott Security 2.0.0 to the various nuget feeds. You can read more about it here: world.optimizely.com/blogs/m…

Dropped another technical blog onto #Optimizely World. This time I've been talking about adding CSS and JavaScript to the head and bottom of the body elements directly from block content nested in a content area of a page. world.optimizely.com/blogs/m…

When you buy a brand, make as mess of it and then try to drop the brand to something meaningless and lose all recognition… even @Meta was smart enough to preserve such a well known brand of @facebook after rebranding their business.

Clean code tip: - Replace complex if statement with descriptive method It can be difficult to read complex if statements with many conditions. You can move them all into a method (or variable) with a descriptive name. The method name should be as detailed as possible.

It’s called the Service Collection Extension Pattern and I believe Microsoft have been recommending it for years. It’s a very nice way of tidying up your program.cs
Don't overload your Program file with all dependencies instead do this ? Instead of putting add dependencies of application in Program file move your dependencies in separate classes in each assembly and then register them in Program file We get following benefits🧵 ⬇️ #dotnet

That was a fabulous finale of #RaceAcrossTheWorld. The scene with @MM08ZZZ and Zainib in the car was especially touching and resonated with me. Congratulations to them all on achieving such a feat of racing all of Canada and having such adventures.

Watching the #Eurovision Semi Final 1 and the cover of #OrdinaryWorld as an intermission act is so poignant and moving about the war in #Ukraine with such a fabulous set that I wish I could vote for it above all else.
