Just read a LinkedIn celebration of “made it to 6 months at Microsoft” and I still can’t decide if it’s satire. Is this what we’re celebrating now?

Also to be super clear if you listen to Cardigan and pull your ears out just a bit you could convince yourself it's a Metric song. The hook is just so very Emily.

Any senior .NET devs looking for a new gig? We’ve got openings doing some pretty impactful stuff. My DMs are open.

I replaced all the app icons on my iPhone and iPad with widgets, and it's been extremely helpful in reducing distractions. I am also leveraging shortcuts and focus modes; and I thought I would share the process with you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBLM...

Oh yeah - I have a Black Friday thing going on that you can also gift, if you're interested. Trying to rev up my content game again :) because it's fun and I want it to be my job again... bigmachine.io/articles/lif...

Giving gifts is so fun, don't you think? Especially if it's for yourself!

I should add that by "failed" I mean it did the absolute bare minimum I asked of it. I know this is how Gemini works, but having to add so many extra prompts to "goose" an answer feels... clanky. I know there are others who like Gemini a lot - if you're one of them, what am I missing?

Rob Conery @robconery.com · 27/11/2025

Tried out Gemini 3 with all the VS Code tools and it was really really not good. The Code Assist extension crashed 5 times and then refused to start *at all*. I then put Gemini 3 up against Claude on a not-so-simple task and my goodness it failed miserably.

Congratulations my friend! What a great day for you!

Yeah that can be painful. Maybe a standing desk would help

It's a challenge, but I do find that believing most people are kind and thoughtful helps me get through life a bit better. Assigning rudeness to an overused phrase could be warranted, but it could also be a silly habit from work or living in Los Angeles for too long :D.

Rob Conery @robconery.com · 01/10/2025

A verbal habit that I really dislike is when people end a sentence with "right?" or "remember?". Instead of saying "You didn't feed the dog dammit" someone might say "I asked you to feed the dog, right?" which is full of condescending ick for me.

Rob Conery @robconery.com · 01/10/2025

Another one I've been snapped at before is "if you think about it...", which of course implies your listener *isn't* thinking about whatever the topic is. I think it's useful to not get trapped in the literal; English is weird.

Rob Conery @robconery.com · 01/10/2025

I do agree that it *can* sound rude if you take the words literally, but in the context of a conversation it can be helpful to anchor what you're currently saying to a previous statement, e.g. I could be telling you I love cats, but "like I said earlier" I also love dogs. Especially yours :).

You had to pull me into this didn't you! I asked it to write an algorithm to count out the b's leetcode style and it corrected itself! The second part is kind of weird tho

True - *I* am reasoning about the problem and telling it what code I want written. As far as giving me poop, that could be the case but you haven't seen it and I would love it if you *could* see it and enlighten me. You could change my mind ya know.
