Hmm, free grocery delivery is pretty sweet.

It's somewhat awkward that people try to dictate what you write about, especially considering the polling nature of blog reading. Seems like a trivial operation to "stop reading" when you realize the post is not about "career" - humans are excellent pattern matching machines :)

Hi,

This blog is not about my career, it is about life after college.

One aspect of that is benefits that a company offers. One thing I have found college students don't always see is that benefits are not only important but also don't have to be lame boring things like "free medical insurance".

I've found Microsoft's "free grocery delivery" to be a great perk. Thus it gets a spot light here.

As for my blog being on MSDN, all MSDN blogs get posted in a lot of places. I'm not entirely sure where you found this post, but I'm sorry if it didn't fit in.

As for "WTF", that's totally a MySpace thing and I assure you I have never used it here.

Pinaki has a point, but it could have been phrased in a nicer way. I regret the personal posts I made on my professional blog, and I don't want you to go down the same road I've been on.

I wish I read this article sooner in my career:

I really enjoyed your article on "How to be a Debugging Ninja!". You can tell that you really care about this blog and take extra time on your posts. Your humor makes it fun to read. That's what made me a subscriber.

Keep up the good work!

WTF ?

Why are you wasting blog space ? What on earth does it have anything to do with MSDN ??

Are you for real?
