Listened to Myself: It's not weird at all by Scott Hanselman

This episode wasn't supposed to be an episode! I was invited by Jeff Fritz of Twitch fame to talk to his community team of Live Coders on Discord. They recorded it, and mentioned several times that it was useful content! So, why not try something new and make this an episode! Let me know on Twitter if you find my views on community, productivity, and life useful to you!

Listened to This will blow your docs off with Mark Bates & Cory LaNou (Go Time #268)
Post details
In a world where most documentation sucks, large language models write better than humans, and people wonā€™t be bothered to type full sentences with actual punctuation. Two menā€¦ against all oddsā€¦ join an award-worthy podcastā€¦ hosted by a coin-operated, singing code monkey (?)ā€¦ to convince the developer world theyā€™re doi...

I wish more APIs had an endpoint to get a whoami style response to work out if a) the credentials work and b) who they're for.

Don't know what the cause of it is but every time I see he or she instead of they I get unnecessarily annoyed. Like, just use the third person word that's more inclusive too šŸ˜
