15+ Chrome extensions you should have in your pocket. (Jane Tracy) - A nice list of extensions. I have a few of them already. It's Always hard to find the balance between all the ones that are great and what you really need.
YouTube Channel Art Ultimate Guide (Your Thriving Side Hustle) - I really go show. I was just thinking about that in fact, the timing was excellent! Very interesting..

Azure Mystery Mansion - Microsoft in Business Blogs (Em Lazer-Walker) - Very interesting post. As I'm writing myself a text-based adventure game(just for fun) it's interesting to see the different approaches and tools available.
Imagine you just arrived at the office. You only took a sip or two of your coffee or tea. You look at the tasks that need to be done today (well yesterday based on the request): a new project is starting, and you need to configure everything the team needs to start building that web application. The need a repository, a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, a place to deploy, monitoring tools, and of course you need to create an environment where they will be able to track their work. Should you panic? No, because you will use the new Azure DevOps Project available in Azure.

Conclusion
The DevOps projects are really fantastic and are very useful. The fact that everything is all packaged together and automatically deployed is a considerable time saver. In short, are the Azure DevOps projects worth it? Oh yeah!
