My latest focus at work has been performance related issues. Not my performance, I'm awesome. I have a shirt that says so. Code performance. Sheesh. The team I'm on owns the eventing system that other teams use. I'd recognized and have finally gotten addressed performance issues on the platform itself.…
A huge fucking question. I know I normally focus on OO stuff... and I wish I had more OO crap to ponder... but there's nothing really sticking in head recently... soo... other shit. I want to try and go weekly... I'm gonna slip to monthly though. This isn't my main…
OK, so - I've got the new version of MtgDiscovery up and I started doing more non-local work. My head-to-wall(and repeat) work with Azure B2C early into this project is coming roaring back. This time, APIM has joined the fight. Going to the App Service URL and signing in…

CON has special meaning to Windows. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats#handle-legacy-devices…
In my re-writing of my Infrastructure for MtgDiscovery I have a Task Group that I want to get the SystemIdentity for a resource. My plan for this innocuous task was to use output variables. Seems simple. Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=Resource.SystemIdentity;isSecret=false;isOutput=true;]$principalId" No.... Tasks…
