Today at the Mt. Baker light rail station, a car went North, up the tracks towards the Beacon Hill tunnel. According to a police escort, there were no injuries. #Seattle #BeaconHill #BreakingNews

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

How big task can you drive with Codex / GPT 5.5? Turns out, quite a big. For a fun experiment I let it port .NET runtime to PowerPC. Why? To learn if I could do a multi-month/year job in weeks in a code base that is well documented and exceptionally well covered in tests. github.com/dotnet/runti...

Oh hey, I wrote thing 💎 www.inkandswitch.com/tangents/bij...

Anatomy of an Open-Source AI Coding Agent Built in .NET: CodeAlta buff.ly/mDJxCwF #dotnet #ai #ndepend #agents #oss #csharp

Ever debugged a .NET memory leak (eg. objects kept alive by registered event handlers)? I released a MCP to allow AI agents to peek into .gcdump files produced by the dotnet-gcdump tool. www.nuget.org/packages/dot...

This has always been a problem, AI has just made it 100x worse. Once you’re more than 2 or so levels away from the actual work, you lose all understanding of what that work entails and are prone to make decisions totally at odds with reality.

Most Windows admins end up juggling 3–5 package managers because no single catalog covers everything. UniGetUI puts them all in one view — installs, updates, removals, no terminal hopping. Free and open source. 👉 devo-inc.net/4dqn8nr

Introducing psign: portable code signing. every file format, every signing method, every platform 👇 No more "let's run this on Windows because of signtool.exe". Say yes to code signing from Linux! 🚀 github.com/Devolutions/...

Found an interesting analogy for how human languages evolve over centuries. Language is like a meandering river—no single water molecule changes the shape of the riverbed, but collectively they all do, over time. My future biographers: you can put this in the quotes section.

I've just added 13 "old" posts to chrisnas.github.io: everything about TraceEvent, counters and the ClrMD series are back on line (Broken links and missing figures from Criteo)!

OK, an hour before the talk, time to start writing some notes I guess: github.com/KirillOsenko...

I'm giving an internal talk about open source to early-in-career engineers tomorrow. What should I mention?

I’m a President now. @acog.org @acogd2.bsky.social

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not because of flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — as a tiny example, it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-i...

I'm tangled.org/kirillosenko... on tangled.org Don't have a ton of faith in GitHub leadership at this point

Introducing Cursor Camp, a website to hang out with other cursors. Out now :) > neal.fun/cursor-camp/

Brutal truths www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/gi...

This tangled.org GitHub alternative built on top of ATproto, open source, with self hosting capabilities and the ability to run your own CI sure seems like a gift of the gods.

.NET community and NuGet package authors - please add a Like to this NuGet issue to make Azure Artifact Signing useable with signed NuGet packages #dotnet

Published a new tool that lets you record all .NET exceptions system-wide in all processes: github.com/KirillOsenko... dotnet tool update -g beetle It records AllExceptions.beetle, which is like a binlog for exceptions. There's also an MCP that can read and analyze .beetle files.

N-Studio 1.1 released! New feature: Region Share Pick a region of your screen to cast into a window that you can share with any meeting app. nicke.tech/n-studio/dow...

New binlog MCP just dropped: www.nuget.org/packages/bin... github.com/KirillOsenko... This one is low-level: only exposes primitives to search, inspect and navigate the full tree, see embedded files, preprocess and NuGet. dotnet tool update -g binlogmcp Acknowledgements: 1/2

Happy birthday @inkandswitch.com! Ink & Switch is now 10 years old, and is celebrating with a piece of interactive digital art on www.inkandswitch.com – have a play with it :)

Coding has changed a lot for me in the past couple months -- and I'm not sure if all devs are using AI to its full usefulness. I gave AI a hard coding task to solve, and it did great. On YouTube, if interested: youtu.be/FoRRWCkMsFc

Blogged: Removing byte[] allocations in .NET Framework using ReadOnlySpan<T> andrewlock.net/removingbyte... In this post I describe how to remove static byte[] allocations, even on .NET Framework, by using Span<T> look at the associated IL, and discuss the potential risks #dotnet

I've decided to aggregate all utilities/extensions I use across different C# projects into a single source-only package. I'm surprised there were so many, but it totals 130 individual files. Feel free to copy-paste what's useful to you. github.com/Tyrrrz/Power...

Also want to take an opportunity to shout out a project of mine that's always been in the shadows: github.com/Tyrrrz/PolyS... It provides polyfills for ~500 BCL APIs, allowing you to write modern C#/.NET code on targets as old as .NET Standard 1.0 and .NET Fx 3.5. I use it in all my libraries ✨

Hey folks! Today I’m launching N‑Studio — the successor to ScreenToGif. It’s a passion project that’s been years in the making, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it. nicke.tech/n-studio

I built an interactive guide on how GPS works! perthirtysix.com/how-does-gps...

Anyone with synesthesia here? What color is the foreach statement? I'd be curious what color people would pick, I'm sure it's very individual.

"[The administration's characterization of Direct File] has it completely backwards. It is a calculation that only makes sense if you do not value the time and money of citizens, but regard the government doing anything to help the public as a burden."

I am hoping to drop Newtonsoft.Json from VSTest (which powers test running in .NET in: dotnet test / VS Test Explorer / C#DevKit) Please help me test it: github.com/microsoft/vs... #dotnet

Is anyone I know at Microsoft hiring right now? I have a good candidate (not me!)

Do you ever want to quickly measure code execution time while debugging? Just released DebugTimer — a simple source-only .NET package for development-time performance diagnostics. #dotnet #csharp github.com/fiseni/Debug...

It's a wrap! #ILSpy 10 is finally here, grab the bits at github.com/icsharpcode/... (as well as VS marketplace + nuget.org + Store (submitted))

I returned to my structured editor roots a little bit and prototyped a scrollbar that shows the statement structure in method bodies. Also a document outline tree where statement structure is visible for larger methods. This way you can visually distinguish methods by their "shape".

A long time ago I wrote an analyzer to flag usages of async void

Suppose we were to beam a 1024x1024 bitmap into interstellar space (or send a probe with a golden plate) and we wanted to describe how advanced our current level of math is. It's clear aliens won't understand our language or notation. What images wouldn't be possible 30-40 years ago?

I've been working on a rebuild of #chordle for a couple of years now. Spare time projects can be brutal, and Chordle is a big ol' project, but I'm really happy with how the new editor is working out - drag and drop of chords in both #chordpro and chords above text! #avaloniaui

Just shipped a massive release of dotnes! A testament to vibe coding for fun. Many samples working now! github.com/jonathanpepp...

if you’d like to volunteer take a look at codeclub.nz

The final preview of #ILSpy 10 is ready for download github.com/icsharpcode/...

How getting paid on pkgstore works 💰 1. Connect Stripe (one click) 2. Create a listing with a price 3. Push your packages 4. Buyers subscribe via Stripe Checkout 5. Money hits your Stripe account That's it. pkgstore.io 📦

Selling a NuGet package shouldn't require stitching together a feed server, payments, credentials, and a storefront. pkgstore does all of it — Stripe storefront, auto NuGet feed, credential mgmt. Buyers use standard dotnet CLI. No custom tooling. 📦 www.pkgstore.io

This video was a complete joy to make. Here's a short preview, but next time you're looking to sit down for 45 minutes of math and art, take a look at the full version on YouTube: youtu.be/ldxFjLJ3rVY

Just blogged: My @nuget.org packages hit a quarter-billion downloads. Just a number; I’m not sure it means much, but I turned it into a short note on NuGet, OSS, and the community. www.devlead.se/posts/2026/2... #nuget #dotnet #oss
