Continuing on my adventure to setup Azure Trusted Signing. Currently stuck on identity validation. Can't validate my organization as it's not in business long enough. Identity validation for me as individual fails without giving any reason. Trying again based on input I got in the community forums 🤞

Ok, this time it actually worked. Seems like the problem was related to the address. Used a different utility bill now. Before re-creating the ID, address didn't show up in the Verified ID at all. Weird thing is that the ID creation still succeeded and only the verification afterwards failed.

Where are the AI skills in developer job ads? Have been looking for freelance dev projects quite a bit recently, and yesterday I stumbled over the very first one mentioning "first experience with AI assisted development" as a requirement.

On the one hand we are talking about software engineers being replaced, on the other hand skills with AI don't even make it into the nice-to-have-requirements of positions most of the time.

You are up to date.
