Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country.

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees.

We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry. Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression.

Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power – because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights.

I published 'ssh': a .NET tool that mimics OpenSSH 'ssh' (built with Tmds.Ssh!) You can invoke it as 'dotnet ssh' after a tool install ('dotnet tool update -g ssh') or with .NET 10 p6's new 'dnx' command run: 'dnx ssh' @chethusk.bsky.social @jongalloway.bsky.social @zikicz.bsky.social @davidfowl.com

Using AI in interviews -- looking for volunteers for mock AI-enabled interviews. If you are proficient in using AI in your daily work (job, hobby projects, school work), and you'd like to try to use them also during interview, ping me. This is community-driven effort!

This comment by Anders Hejlsberg on the choice of languages for TypeScript is worth reading. Spead that type of thinking! (And recognize the massive shift that Microsoft made)

What do you do when you catch candidates cheating with AI during interviews? (when it is upfront forbidden) When it is obvious, i.e. they have no clue what they write, why, or start parroting encyclopedic knowledge without saying why.

Started thinking about experimenting with AI during interviews. Idea: allow candidates to use it and yet still be able to find out if they might be good hires. Why? ... AI is here, we use it in daily jobs. Why not during interview? I am curious what we will find ...

Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered. The parser is at github.com/KirillOsenko...

Screenshot of a hex editor with a PE file open, on the left there's a tree with the headers, sections and other parts of the file format. On the right there's a typical table of bytes in hex.

Interview feedback on the spot: I interview quite a lot, let's say 150-200 interviews per year and I love it. One thing I started doing more often this year is to give feedback immediately at the end of the interview (mostly tech screens lately).

At Update conference on Thursday I heard @rocky.lhotka.net say that there is ongoing exodus from Twitter to BlueSky of .NET team members for last 2 weeks and I felt seen 😇 ... my timing was independent. I had it on my list for a while. I guess owner involvement in government sealed the deal for me.

So, I land on BlueSky (finally the great Twitter ... sorry, X, escape) and people start following me immediately without any post yet. How come?
