every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women

This is so bizarre to me. Entirely because old cars didn't have TPM, I've always had my own tyre pressure gauge and pump. It's only now that I'm thinking they might be unnecessary, while you're going the other way. 😛

Delaying the Western Renewables Link & VNI West transmission projects could cost Australians a staggering $33 billion in wholesale electricity costs, according to a new Nexa Advisory report. With families already stretched thin, every delay means more pain at the hip pocket.

I always wanted a Surface Duo, I'm glad Apple is going to release their copy of it in Australia. Always annoyed me that Microsoft never did.

As a fellow 46 year old this does have a ring of truth to it.

Today marks 8 years at Microsoft, 15 years of being a father, and 2 days of not knowing what the hell I'm supposed to do with myself after a 10 day vacation followed by the flu.

My wife has ADHD and the meds allow her to get stuff done. She doesn't seem to be able to freely choose what to do, or she does and she just always freely chooses her hobbies over everything else, so I find it best not to think about it :)

David Wengier @david.wengier.com · 13/08/2026

Trying to discuss it, and work out if we're measuring using the same scale, with something completely subjective, is just a fools errand. It's like trying to explain red to a colour blind person I guess. You don't know what they perceive compared to yourself.

David Wengier @david.wengier.com · 13/08/2026

I was described the other week, by an AI, as "the busiest human contributor" in the Roslyn repo, so I definitely get stuff done. It's just the weird thing about trying to explain personal experiences. You say that and it makes sense, but I definitely procrastinate too.

David Wengier @david.wengier.com · 13/08/2026

I don't know, but I suspect not. It is extremely rare, if ever, that I've felt justified to exclaim "I got so much done!"

All phones in the family are USB-C, so on holidays we can just take USB-C cables. And USB-A cables because the hotel won't have C ports. And the battery bank only has A. And there is still that one set of AirPods that is still lightning. And most of the kindles are micro-USB. How did it get worse?!

David Wengier @david.wengier.com · 06/08/2026

The other day an LLM referred to me as "The busiest human contributor" in the Roslyn repo, and I still don't know if it was a compliment or an insult.

My wife is so bad at keeping her phone up to date, that she didn't get the alert. Sorry everyone. If aliens come to earth, and the government tells us the only way the planet survives is by everyone doing a jumping jack, we're doomed, she'll have no idea. Also she's unco so would probably fall over.

It's been a few years since I've done it, but it was always the visible ones you could see from the taxi from LAX into town, that amazed me. My memory, which might be flawed, was just these random nodding donkeys in between shops or on the side of the road. Weird to think about in a metropolis.

Sounds like every developers dream: A nice bit of code, no pesky users to create bug reports. You can live happily surrounded only by green tests.

Are you watching Star City? Season 6 didn't really grab me, so I haven't plucked up the courage for it yet.

I just worked out that yesterdays Connections purple didn't make any sense to me because I'm Australia. Had to hear an american say it in order to understand. Hate games that are regional like that.

Union types are coming to C#! Unions model closed sets of data shapes, as commonly seen in e.g. wire protocols. In this #MSBuild session replay, Mads and Dustin explore the clean expression of intent and the confidence and elegance that unions lend to consuming code. 🎥 buff.ly/yigYfF4

I used to enjoy playing drums on Guitar Hero World Tour in my youth, so obviously I'm now feeling the incessant draw of purchasing a multi-hundred-dollar electronic drum kit and calling it a hobby (for 5 minutes presumably).

Every year when I visit the US, I am very excited to watch the TV ads to find out what the current trend is. Hot honey was definitely it for my most recent trip. The one before that, it seemed the FTC had a ruling that said every ad had to mention "asiago cheese" at least once.

Booked a Jetstar flight: My youngest counted as an adult because they'll be over 11, then had to enter their date of birth, then had to check a box indicating they'll be under 15. So they're not a child, but clearly still a child, but you can't tell how old someone is from their date of birth??

First one I ever bought was 128MB, and cost the same as a 4GB spinning rust hard drive. It was a tough choice. Last one I bought was 64GB and it was less than 20 bucks.
