Sep 1, 2021 abbot csharp suggest edit

This recent Abbot Blog Post covers abbot-cli a new open source command-line
tool. abbot-cli makes it possible to work on Abbot skills in your local editor.

SUBSCRIBING TO CLOUD EVENTS WITH ABBOT

Mar 4, 2021 abbot chatops csharp suggest edit

In my last post, I wrote about writing a sparkly skill in Abbot. That was fun!
But Abbot isn’t only about fun. After all, our company name is A Serious
Business, Inc. Seriously, that’s the name. So it’s about time I show you how to
get to some serious business with Abbot.

ARGUMENT PARSING WITH ABBOT

Feb 12, 2021 abbot chatops csharp suggest edit

Most Bot skills strive for a more natural language feel to arguments passed
them. For example, to remember something with Abbot you can use @abbot rem
haacked's blog is https://haacked.com. And then later recall it with @abbot rem
haacked's blog. Or just @abbot rem haacked because Abbot uses fuzzy matching.

INTRODUCING ABBOT, A POWERFUL CHATOPS TOOL FOR COLLABORATIVE WORK

Feb 11, 2021 abbot chatops remote work suggest edit

Collaborative work is difficult enough when located together in an office. It
can present new challenges when working remotely. When I worked at GitHub, one
powerful tool we used that left a lasting impact on me was ChatOps. In fact,
GitHub may have created the concept. If not, they were certainly one of the
first.

NAMING NUGET, A LESSON IN DISTRIBUTED DECISION MAKING

Nov 24, 2020 remote nuget suggest edit

It is notoriously difficult to make decisions in a distributed asynchronous
manner. It’s hard enough for me to make decisions by myself. Now introduce more
people and timezones and you have yourself a hot mess. People tend to meet an
online proposal with the silence of indifference. Or the silence that’s a result
of the bystander effect as everyone waits for someone else to chime in.

A SUBTLE GOTCHA WITH AZURE DEPLOYMENT SLOTS AND ASP.NET CORE

Sep 28, 2020 dotnet azure deployment suggest edit

When I deploy software, I’m lazy. Very lazy. This is why I lean heavily on
Continous Deployment (CD) to automatically test and deploy software when it’s
merged into my main branch. I don’t have time to deploy code by hand. So gauche!

MYSTERY OF THE FRENCH THOUSANDS SEPARATOR

May 17, 2020 dotnet csharp testing suggest edit

I enjoy writing silly chat bots. To indulge my silliness, I’ve been exploring
the Microsoft Bot Framework. Overall, it’s a pretty good framework, but I’ve had
some weird bugs here and there. It’s unclear to me if they’re my fault or not.
So to dig into them, I cloned the microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet to my machine and
ran all the unit tests. It’s what I do.

WHEN REMOTE WORK GOES WRONG

Mar 11, 2020 management leadership remote suggest edit

With all this recent emphasis on remote work, you can be forgiven if you think
proponents (like myself) are a bit Pollyannaish about the benefits of remote
work. Even so, you have to admit that preventing the collapse of civilization
from a pandemic is a strong benefit to add to the list. Whodathunkit? Given that
many are now required to work from home, it makes sense to try our best to make
it work. This is the motivation behind my series of posts about remote work.

GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED TEAMS

Mar 9, 2020 management leadership remote suggest edit

Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon just told its Seattle area employees to
work from home for the next three weeks to reduce the risk of spreading the

Working from home is a hot topic right now. If you’re a manager letting your
people work from home, you may have concerns. How do you ensure that people are

really not wearing pants?

HOW TO WORK FROM HOME

Mar 3, 2020 remote work suggest edit

For years you tried to convince the powers that be that working from home is
just as productive if not more so than coming into the office. You cited article
after article full of evidence to support your claims.

DEBUNKING THE PETER PRINCIPLE

Mar 2, 2020 management suggest edit

Professor Laurence J. Peter wrote The Peter Principle in 1968 as satire critical
of management and management practices. Over time, cynical folks latched onto it
as a universal law of nature. Here’s how Professor Peter stated the law he named
after himself,

RECOVERING FROM BURNOUT

Jan 23, 2020 work consulting burnout suggest edit

Today’s my birthday so naturally the topic of burnout comes to mind. For the
