Hey fellow developers!
If you've ever accidentally caused a security incident, or been part of a team that did, I'd like to hear about it (privately if you want).
I have a few of my own, I'm not just hoping to laugh at others.
I'm writing a presentation about how security incidents come about, from a dev and product perspective. For our learning, but mostly for security people who are flummoxed as to why we would do the things we do.
@konstantin@toot.iamkonstantin.euHey indie devs, how are your February sales in the US? Most of our apps have a “steep” decline. Nothing to worry about, but remarkable enough to standout in the report.
We got a boost in most of the EU, NZ and Australia, but the US dipped and then just levelled (we basically retained our users there, but didn't gain any new ones).
The best and worst of .NET! In the latest Breakpoint Show episode, we take a trip down memory lane, revisiting the .NET features we’ve loved and the ones that made us rethink our life choices.

Music and code are an absolute delightful combination. Code repositories should include a MUSIC.md file that includes a playlist of songs on repeat while developing the codebase. Or at least "Music Inspirations" from each contributor. That would make for some interesting statistics! 
I wonder if code quality or style would correlate with shared music tastes? Maybe certain genres inspire different coding patterns...
Of course now I finally got my code to compile and link, it doesn't actually work. #devlife

Windows Rant
I'm going to be forced to use a windows machine with VSCode for my job...I gave it a shot and holy shit do I not know how people get around in windows. So many windows and help menus and all the clicking around with so many disjointed keymappings just feels like a fever dream.
I dont want to move away from my I3 + zsh + neovim + rofi setup. I dont have to click around everywhere, my keyboard remaps are respected everywhere, no bloated process', no random updates or nagging windows.
I know you get used to it in time but damn does it feel like a massive step backward. #devlife #fedidevs #windows #linux

People often ask me when @mastogram will become OpenSource. And when they hear my answer — "never" — their reactions are always amusing. First comes the inevitable "why?", followed by, sometimes, outright indignation: "That's not right!" I usually finish them off with a "joke" about introducing premium features.
The funniest part is that those advocating for open-source are almost always software developers — the very same people who go to work and get paid a nice salary for their efforts. And every time, a loud question pops into my head: why on earth should I write my code for free or stand around with a crypto-wallet in hand, begging for spare change?
It’s easy to play the office Che Guevara when your paycheck is guaranteed! To those “revolutionaries,” I have just one suggestion: quit your job and test your commitment to pure, unadulterated altruism. No hypocrisy allowed.

It's been one week since the release of Ancient Mind and now I understand why the release date is not a finish line.
The past days have been extremely busy, with a patch 1.0.4 already released and a 1.1 update about to come!
@andrewstellman@mastodon.socialTomorrow at the Solution2 conference, I’ll be giving a talk called 'Fast-Track Your Path to Senior C# Developer.'
A junior developer once asked me, 'People immediately treat you like a senior dev. They don’t treat me that way. How do I get there?'
That question has stuck with me ever since. Let’s talk about the answer.

@andrewstellman@mastodon.socialWorking on a new talk called 'Fast-Track Your Path to Senior Developer' for the Solution2 conference. One thing I’m focusing on is how mastering just a few key skills early—like making code readable, keeping it simple, and making it easy to change—can set you apart quickly.

@MSicc@dotnet.social#iPhoneMirroring is such a #GameChanger for #debugging and #presenting, together with #HotReload it makes optimizing #UI so much more enjoyable!
@MSicc@dotnet.socialThis week, I was I able to squish out some tiny but nasty #bugs in my #TwistReader app. If I am able to move forward with this pace, I’ll have a beta on #TestFlight by the end of September at latest (the app will be on #iOS, #IPadOS and #macOS.
@MSicc@dotnet.socialGoing into feature freeze mode with my current #sideproject #TwistReader. For one because I need to do some refactoring and improvements to the actual code base before releasing it to the public, and for the other because I am T-4 for my #summer #vacations. I also want to write a blog post for #MacCatalyst application state detection with #dotNETMAUI before leaving, and do some cleanup on my dev machine.
