There are many comments and [further discussion by lance](http://weblogs.asp.net/lhunt/archive/2005/10/30/428914.aspx) on this issue, all in all, a very important one for both MS and the bloggers here. I can't say that it's impossible to live without upgrades to this site, but it does make you wonder. Personally, I'm enjoying the vast attention this site gets and is one of the main reasons I'm staying here. I miss the fact that the main page used to have a list of bloggers by the number of posts. It was really helpful to someone coming into the site to catch the top bloggers, the ones who write the most posts, plus, it felt like a large family. Now, the MSDN bloggers get upgrades while the "other" bloggers don't. That kinda sucks as a management decision, don't you think? So, this site needs a caring parent. For the past half year or even more, it didn't have that (or at least the parent was staying somewhere else). ## More in Community [All posts in Community](https://osherove.com/blog/category/community) - Nov 21, 2005 ### [Slides Available for my talks on C# 2.0, LINQ, Agile Methodologies and TDD Best Practices](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/11/21/slides-available-for-my-talks-on-c-20-linq-agile-methodologi.html) - Nov 21, 2005 ### [November at Agile Israel - The XP Planning Game](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/11/21/november-at-agile-israel-the-xp-planning-game.html) - Oct 11, 2005 ### [Wanna be a Microsoft Israel Presenter?](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/10/11/wanna-be-a-microsoft-israel-presenter.html) - Sep 7, 2005 ### [September at Agile Israel - Why Agile, and lessons learned from implementing SCRUM](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/9/7/september-at-agile-israel-why-agile-and-lessons-learned-from.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
