All of a sudden, our build agent could no longer communicate with Azure. A failed network change forced us to set a proxy server manually. While most browsers use the system proxy, the build agent did not.
It is the time of the year where most new year's resolutions are already forgotten. Should you still want to learn new things I have a great podcast for your. It is not about the shiny new frameworks, instead it will help you to improve your existing applications.
The podcast Legacy Code Rocks! hosted by Andrea Goulet and M. Scott Ford is my favourite one. They know what they are talking about and find guests that have interesting insights to share. I am constantly surprised how much I can learn from every episode and how much of those things can be applied 1:1 to my applications – and that by just spending between 30 and 45 minutes per episode.
