Waiting for the #MSBuild 8:30 keynote to start, I figured I'd spend the time spinning up an @azure account. First impression: holy crap, a console that doesn't actively hate me?! What sorcery is this?
@Azure "Welcome! Here's a tour of what the console does instead of leaving you to your own devices in a Choose Your Own Adventure that ends with you declaring bankruptcy."
@Azure "Virtual Machine names are immutable once set." Boo.
"No, you can't use emoji." Double boo.
"The default image is Debian." *spit-take* I'm... I'm home!
@Azure "Standard, Premium, or SORRY YOU CANNOT USE ULTRA SSD?" Wait, what? Maybe define your terms?
@Azure Hit create and... what's this? It builds a CloudFormation equivalent AND LETS ME DOWNLOAD IT FOR FUTURE USE?!

Does... does @awscloud hate me? This is transformative! Why is this not standard?!
@Azure @awscloud Five minutes in, and it's still spinning. Hasn't told me what IP it's going to grant me yet.
@Azure @awscloud Almost ten minutes. I thought I hit Debian, but apparently I chose Linux from Scratch instead.
@Azure @awscloud Almost 15 minutes, still not done yet. I'd joke that the packages will all be EOL'd by the time this finishes except it's Debian so that's cheating. #MSBuild
@Azure @awscloud Completed in 19m20s. It's like CloudFront deploys and AWSECS4K8S(EKS) had a baby.
@Azure @awscloud Logged in and the machine claims it's been up for... 2 minutes. Huh.

Is the provisioning API some person frantically racking things and powering them on by hand?
@Azure @awscloud Single resolver in /etc/resolv.conf, along with `search (link: …p3hnz4wpnoqf.xx.internal.cloudapp.net) …p3hnz4wpnoqf.xx.internal.cloudapp.net`

What.

The hell.

Is that?!
@Azure @awscloud Apt sources are `debian-archive.trafficmanager.net is an alias for …ian-mirror.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com.` which... okay? That seems a bit strange.

The #MSBuild keynote kicks off with an ILM exec talking about the moon landing, which means another six weeks of nutters claiming it was faked.
And demo fails. Oof. I bet it would have been awesome. Hugops to #MSBuild tech folks.
Satya Nadella takes the stage. Talks about attending a Microsoft conference in the 90s and deciding to join Microsoft as a result. I get that sentiment. #MSBuild

And @jrhunt takes the stage. Super nice person, incredibly gifted technologist, and very personable blog post author. A thread! I've been wanting to livetweet him for a long time. The time is meow! #AWSSummit.
"Follow me on Twitter if you want crappy takes. Python is my favorite language. The one thing I refuse to use is Javascript." I want to die on this hill too! #AWSSummit
"I surveyed the audience and it seems you want demos rather than slides. So! Breakneck slide time, then demos. #AWSSummit

"WAS APPROACHED BY THE BRAND TEAM"

Spoiler: if your employer asks you to get their logo tattooed on yourself, you fuckin' say no and quit on the spot! Dear god!
Meanwhile IBM is frantically trying to unwind the purchase on the news that RedHat employs people who have tattoos.
I don't practice what I preach. I once gave @akelman a custom branding iron labeled "AWS" to help with his corporate branding initiatives.

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.

I don't usually do stuff like this, but it seems like it'll be fun so I wanted to share! Since I enjoy a wide variety of games, I'm also going to make an effort to have as little repeating titles as possible :D
1. The very first video game I remember playing was DOOM on an uncle's PC. I was about 4-5, which is /probably/ a little too young in hindsight 😏
Anytime I heard a Spiderdemon walking around I would get scared and have to call my uncle to kill it lol
2. There are a lot of "good" characters in games, but I'm hard pressed to think of "great" ones, let alone a favourite. I do think Sans from Undertale is one of the more interesting in recent memory, so I'll take the easy answer here.

-rarely do you ever figure anything out fully

-(almost) everybody is faking confidence

-most people are compensating for high school
-the sooner you begin managing your finances for life, the better

-The people that live for the weekend are not the people you want as friends

-no one is ever going to make you happy if you cannot be happy by yourself
-most of the math you learned is useless

-the math you should have learned is the same math that will make you Rich

-everyone overestimates their expectations

1/ Under tax bills, how to pay 20% on labor earnings using a c-corp? How to be a “partner,” not employee and get pass through rate? New report from tax experts across country on games, roadblock, and glitches in new legislation: ssrn.com/abstract=30841…
2/ Bills were written quickly with lots of special preferences and complex rules to govern. Result = mess that is likely to result in substantially more revenue loss than now expected generally benefiting well off and advisors.
3/ Here’s a run through of some of the more egregious problems we catalogue:
