Programmers who can add functionality, without making the codebase unnecessarily complicated, are *incredibly* valuable. If someone has properly absorbed this aesthetic and knows how to do it, I would hire that person on the spot regardless of perceived lack of other skillsets.

This session by @shanselman doing a real world example of GitHub Copilot was great. ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/s… Exactly my experience, with the hallucinations, but thinking of it as a tool makes a big difference. Fantastic explanations!

Trying to join a #MSIgnite teams session, and this is the error I get. This is a huge reason why Zoom is better than Teams. If you can't log in, you can't use teams. I don't know why this error hasn't been addressed after all these years.

We’re excited to share that a prototype version of OpenXR will be available for developers in an update in the coming weeks. OpenXR will help reduce overhead for VR/AR developers and hopefully provide consumers with more choice. ocul.us/2WiUg9u
