I am starting to wonder whether the traditional desktop metaphor is going to break down in the agentic world - particularly for software development. The operating system (any operating system) isn't really helping me with the concurrent streams of work that I have going. Its missing something.

I love reading about software engineering projects like these. Going against the grain with proper arguments. #dotnet nockawa.github.io/blog/why-bui...

De ANWB geeft automobilisten vandaag een waarschuwing Meppel te vermijden. Mensen die toch in Meppel moeten zijn, kunnen beter thuisblijven. Volgens de ANWB zijn er geen files rond Meppel, maar is er ook geen enkele reden om er naartoe te rijden.

Care and attention to detail is such a rare trait these days ... www.joshwcomeau.com/svg/interact...

Seems seasonally appropriate to reshare this @ghost.org easter egg

This is such an interesting talk. Highly recommend if you're into the details software development, with a good splash of digital history youtube.com/watch?v=wo84...

Fetch the deployment token for an Azure Static Web app in the pipeline. Just what I was looking for. Thanks @svrooij.io svrooij.io/2022/05/05/d...

I finally wrote an intro about how JSONB works, check it, tell me how you liked it and share with your friends! And most importantly, play with it on your own 😊 www.architecture-weekly.com/p/postgresql... 5/5

Breaching our Non-Disclosure Agreement at the Microsoft MVP Summit? Last week, at the #MVPSummit in #Redmond, @roelant.info and I tried to pull information out of true leaders like @markrussinovich.bsky.social, @csharpfritz.com, @davidfowl.com, @maddymontaquila.net, and Amy Boyd youtu.be/97K5vU5txAY

Copilot seems to be half decent at writing PowerShell, which actually makes PowerShell useful for me 😆

Wow, DRM e-books are a total shitshow. Opening a 400 page e-book on a high-end laptop in Adobe Digital Editions is just.... horrible. Flipping through pages is slooow and the book looks like shit.

Interesting reflection from several local coder communities and social media is what this site is shared frequently last couple of days, short term this is likely not changing much, but it could be planting seeds in an way unthinkable just weeks ago. european-alternatives.eu

Nice job @iamtimcorey.bsky.social www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YTY4KT/

Hey .NET devs! Are you following @dot.net here on Bluesky already? If not, what are you waiting for?

#Azure naming conventions in some organizations are beginning to look like CSS class names in front-end development. So many characters to denote simple things 😟

New video! Terence Tao on how we measure the cosmos: youtu.be/YdOXS_9_P4U

Ever wanted to -just- have a #repeating background #job in your APIs? Me too, and I'm somewhat sceptic about introducing another external library. Luckily, .NET #Aspire, Azure #Container #Apps and #Dapr make scheduling tasks a breeze, here is how: hexmaster.nl/posts/schedu...

Of all the code-driven (gherkin is worse) testing styles I see in C#, this is my most hated. 🤮 Relies on hidden implicit class scoped state 😭Mutates it from function to function 🤐Obscures what is actually being verified All to bury some pseudo-natural-language with underscores. 1/10.

dotnet watch support for Aspire is coming in the next version of the .NET SDK (9.0.200). We rewrote the whole thing 😅. This should improve scenarios where you need to change individual projects without restarting the entire app host. #dotnet #aspire

Onto our second session of the evening with @florianvandillen.nl from @4dotnet.bsky.social! 🚀 He's sharing his experience on 'Creating a distributed local development environment with #Dapr and .NET #Aspire.' Great energy and discussions as we dive deeper into Dapr!

Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered. The parser is at github.com/KirillOsenko...

Had a lovely chat with @scott.hanselman.com! On the cozy web vibes of Portland, how anthropology taught me to think, and the need for more complex interfaces for "AI" systems.

Ran into this issue today - DelegatingHandlers in #dotnet use a different scope than the request in which they are running. You can get around it by using IHttpContextAccessor as @andrewlock.bsky.social shows here: andrewlock.net/understandin... This needs to be better documented.

Google recently released the 2024 Accelerate State of DevOps (DORA) report, and there were some holy shit moments in those 120 pages. Or–to phrase it more professionally–this year’s report has some very interesting and counterintuitive findings. redmonk.com/rstephens/20...
