I took a walk in a nearby forrest. #Sunday #Snow

Slowly I get a feeling that @npmx.dev is not just "yet another package browser"...

Nice!

Hey @dylanbeatt.ie I enjoyed watching your recent #NDC talk about #CSS - lovely! And I'm pretty sure someone already told you that indeed someone is writing a new browser called #Ladybird. I just mention it here for completeness... ladybird.org

Exactly! The web is a gigantic ecosystem and everybody interacts with it. Heck, humans rely on it for so many things: business, leisure, communication, careers, learning... I want all of those things to work well!

Hey Internet, I need help! Someone in my company is conviced that the #RalphWiggum loop is a serious coding technique and we should do it. Is this a thing? Are people doing this in production? I always thought this is a joke... #ai #VibeCoding

Merz hält Windkraft nur für eine Übergangstechnologie und hofft auf eine Energie-Revolution. Entrücktheit ist, mitten in der größten Energierevolution seit der Industrialisierung auf eine Energie-Revolution zu hoffen. Nun, Don Merzottes Windmühlen werden seinen Kampf gegen die Realität überdauern.

Hey #OpenTelemetry folks in the #dotnet space! Is it ok to set "System.Diagnostics.Activity.Current = null" if I want to start a new trace? Or is there a better way? My problem: I use an Observable in a BackgroundService which gets "OnNext" in scoped (http) requests. 1/2

Finally, how it should have always been!

There's no Bluray Box of #StarTrek #Voyager? Only DVD? Very sad...

Bookmarked for later...

Recording of my talk on passkeys in #aspnetcore at NDC Copenhagen is up! #dotnet Also includes a pointer on how to add passkeys to Razor Pages for folks who aren't on the #Blazor train. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7eb... #dotnet

Rediscovered, that I connected my Sonos to my local mp3 collection ripped from my own CDs. I should listen more to some of my music... haven't done that for a long time. Why did I stop doing that?

Incremental means add onto. It helps improve the process. Iterative means revise. It helps improve the product. this could be repeated daily.

Listening to "Handful of Rain" by #Savatage Still one of the greatest Metal albums. Every song is just great and hearing them all in one go (this is how albums should be used) is a pleasure.

Why is there a save icon stuck to the fridge?

not sure how many actual readers I have still on here - lmk if you have interest in reading and offering commentary on the 1st draft of my next book: The Book on Fine-Grained Incremental Development. 300 pp. you'll have to actually read it :)

Testing is hard because you always miss some kind of edge case you didn't know existed.

📕 Testing @angular.dev components with @storybook.js.org just got better ⚡ Use Storybook with Vitest for interactive component tests. Run them in the CLI or directly in the Storybook UI. My latest post ✍️ dev.to/brandontrobe...

On 9 January 2026 mine and my family's lives changed forever. I tell the full story in this video: youtu.be/mNEPSWcOheY If you want to support my family as well as our local community, consider sharing this post, or donating here: www.gofundme.com/f/we-lost-al...

The Tailwind situation is a tough reminder: Sustaining high-quality OSS is incredibly hard when your focus is purely on making the open source part better, without a SaaS/business layer to fund it. AI accelerates that pressure by reducing doc traffic and paid conversions.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: I'm the bus factor.

Some friction is healthy in our online interactions. You shouldn't be able to send a bug report without a reproduction. You shouldn't be able to create a PR without understanding the issue (and the solution). You should (try to) be aware of their context before replying to an unknown person online.

Facts you didn't know you needed to know.

Starting in September I produced more than 1MWh, and I only needed 3/4 of it. Consumption and production did happen at different times, but hey - I do as much as I can! #solar #power

I understand #passkeys despite of not having implemented them yet (just migrated to #dotnet 10, so bear with me). But how do you do #passwordless service to service communication? Are client certificates the only choice? I don't want to store secrets anymore. #password #oauth #oidc

Chocolate doesn't ask. Chocolate understands.

Yes, please!

Hey @aspire.dev! When I run my #Angular app with "ng serve" I want to use the --ssl/ssl-cert/ssl-key options, because I use HttpOnly/secure auth cookies. But I don't want to generate self signed certs by myself. Can #Aspire export the dev cert as a "file" so I can "just use it"? That would be great!

I think that the Internet should be weird again and we should just code things because they’re delightful. We should also code things so that the haters hate less

I tell this story periodically, but it seems like it's time again: General Motors ran an automobile manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, that was one of the worst in the country. Accident rates and defects were astronomical. Absenteeism was through the roof. 1/12

As a "full stack" developer I would like to debug my #Angular frontend app in my #Aspire apphost like I'm able to do with my .NET backend. If you are like me, please upvote this issue, to show them! Thanks! github.com/dotnet/aspir...

I should have tagged @aspire.dev 😎

@dylanbeatt.ie you had me at "zero letter acronym"... 🤣 youtu.be/OXO_kqTIW-s

Hey #Aspire folks! Do you add your launchSettings.json or apphost.run.json to the repository or should it be treated like a "user" file and "git-ignored"? I might roll a dice on this... #dotnet

I am burning out on this... Multiple PRs created by AI-bot accounts are trying to solve the same issue that has not yet even been identified, with verbose plain-text PR descriptions. I don't even know if I should bother to reply... Any ways to stop this? 😇

To celebrate the incredible work and dedication of the open source community this Christmas, I'm delighted to announce a small giveaway!

In my home town every year a #regatta with historical sailing ships is taking place. It's called the "Rum Regatta". The winner gets some crap, because they took it too serious. The second ship gets a huge bottle of rum. Noone wants to win. And sometimes they sell a special kind of #rum. #Flensburg

It's the basic building block for writing higher level injectFoo functions. Powerfull!
