There are people who know how to communicate with other people. Other people know how to communicate with computers. Scott is one of the few that can do both.
This was such a good talk Scott. I appreciate how you talk about things you were naïve to and the changes you implemented. As someone just starting my career this is the exact type of thing I needed to hear. I also appreciate that you didn't gloss over things, nor did you talk them to death. Perfect balance with some quick fun humour to boot.
Honestly that seems to be the challenge in Win11 with explorer the only fix I’ve found is to end the task and it refreshes and starts working again. Dope discussion! And as always you walk us through an interesting challenge. I love the podcast but definitely love the video platform more.
back in 2000 on my way out, I told the IT manager this box ran the Silk Performer license server, and turned the software itself over to the dev manager. Several years later visiting, I asked friends if they wanted to meet for coffee. they wanted to meet at the office. The dev's could not install the license server software. I said the license server should already exist, they said it could not possibly still exist. We walked over to a cubicle, and there was the box still running, untouched for many years. (the IT manager left shortly after I did). No one thought to ask what this box in the empty cubicle that was powered on was for. Any dev could have logged on with the standard corporate windows server admin password (go ahead, laugh)
I still have an old Dell box (single Core 2 Duo) in the shed that runs windows 2003 64 bit (last sp) on a single 36gb scsi drive (parallel drive) and it is a seriously fast machine. Boot up, window opening etc is super fast
Hanselman is the best PR guy MSFT has for developer community. It used to be Scott Guthrie, but since Satya told him to act like the EVP that he is, stop making Red-Shirt sessions.
I stopped a fourth of the way though. Couldn’t stand the self promotion and the social justice start left a bad taste. I’m tied of being bashed in this field for my skin color and gender.
If someone gives you something for free... Never ever let your website (or anything at all) run on it - and never rely on (or expect) it running in the next month... ;-)
