Reminder; I'm on the lookout for new contracts. Fully remote (US, UK, EU, anywhere really). I'm a deeply experienced .NET / Web developer with 30 years of experience building platforms, applications and remote teams.
Prefer to deal direct with companies so if anyone you know is looking for a new lead / principal / CTO hit me up!
Most recently I worked on rebuilding a platform for a company around Docker & OpenSearch & bootstrapped the backend for a US ecomm.

Happy Monday folks! I was recently laid off after 4 years with my employer.

I’m a 25y veteran #python developer (#web, #backend, and #dataengineering) with many years of experience working remotely for companies in the US and Europe.

I'm also drawn to opportunities to improve internal tooling and web services that give coworkers the information and capabilities to do their thing better.

I'm back to playing with #Blazor and #HTMX with the @egil Htmxor library. The Counter sample is nice and clear.

He has something exciting here for the #aspnetcore and #dotnet audience.

I've battled myself for 29 years. Unmet potential, struggles in work & school. Always feeling behind. Always thinking something was wrong with me. After doing a lot of exploration , advocating for myself , and trust from those around me I've gotten a formal #ADHD diagnosis and today marks my first day on medication. I know it's not a silver bullet , but it feels incredible to be given tools to help alleviate some of the daily hurdles ADHD sets up.

Little afternoon painting session

@chethusk Thankfully the detour was short-lived and informative 🫡

.NET 8 didn't want to install on Linux this morning. Turns out if your installs get mixed between Microsoft's package feeds and the distros feed you're going to have a bad time.

Shout out @chethusk for pointing this out on this issue (*https://github.com/dotnet/installer/issues/17811*)

Did someone say "AIOps"?

Keynote: Where Web Tech is Going Now - Steve Sanderson - NDC Porto 2023

Another fantastic talk from Steve - love this NDC YouTube channel 😀

If your website is still http only, no https...

... are you okay? Do you need help doing archival work? this isn't shade, we just saw the long tail of the web forced offline with the move to https everywhere.

Are you holding on to an http only site for someone who's passed? DM me and I'll help you save a copy some place more durable than a personal or academic server sitting on someone's desk or in a closet. Let's save the remnants of the old web before they go offline entirely.

Watch me upgrade a .NET 7 #Blazor Server app to a .NET 8 Blazor Web App with Auto Render Mode https://youtu.be/Z6WteuTnlbg Premieres Sat, 12/9 at 12PM ET.

@carlfranklin @richcampbell Thanks gentleman ! #dotnet #SpotifyWrapped

TIL: C# supports _ as a digit separator in numbers, so you can write more readable code like:
int n = 1_000;

Rather than
int n = 1000;

Nice!

I'm diving deeper into #redwoodjs and loving it.

It's very opinionated - not going to be everyone's cup of tea - but boy does it make me productive. So much out of the box that hacking together an MVP feels almost too easy.

@paulnewman @carlfranklin Carl is my north star of good dudes building good software - every dotnet rocks podcast reminds of how genuine a person Carl is. Every Blazor Train episode reminds me how dope Blazor is how important being excited about technology is !
