So, a “free” cellular plan that you pay for by allowing the company to harvest your data… and that’s considered an “excellent” plan by this blog… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I wouldn’t call an abstraction to call an LLM a “text-to-image capability in .NET”, but ok 😒

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week. After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject. Anyone looking for a coder for a remote gig (or hybrid in Stockholm)?

What's next? Playing badminton with Skelator?

tired: it's always DNS inspired: ICANN feel it coming in the air tonight

I'm building an alternative streaming option for artists called tracklist:// where they will be able to self-host their music catalog and stream it directly to fans. As musicians ourselves, our goal is to empower artists with connection. Sign up for our waitlist here; www.tracklist.diy

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

A lot of developer conferences should probably stop having call for speakers. They end up always having the same speakers, so why not just invite them directly and stop the charade? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been streaming gamedev once on a while, so I did a python script that will trigger a receipt printer to show when someone follows me live. It’s kinda cool since it all happens automatically. I’ll be working and I’ll see it print suddenly.

So, Generative AI is a stochastic parrot regurgitating the average of all the world’s most mediocre code… Yet, somehow, the “upper elite 1% of talent” is getting massive productivity gains from it? To the point where Elite Performing tech corporations mandate it? That doesn’t add up

No shot towards any particular library, but it's crazy how .NET did a full loop and now we're again into attribute-based magic mess with code generation. This approach has its place (I was using it in Marten, and the team still does that), it can make performance better, but ask Java friend....

Not really sure yet if it's at all useful (possibly not 😅), but started experimenting with the idea of having a super basic folder/git based schema catalog (for stuff like OpenAPI, Avro, Protobuf, etc). github.com/joaofbantune...

Isn't there a more appropriate account to share this kind of... stuff (avoiding stronger words here) than the #dotnet account? 😵‍💫

For absolutely no reason, quickly rating the languages I used over the last couple of months (not necessarily in terms of quality, just me enjoying them, in whatever context I needed to use them) #CSharp 👍 #Java 🤷‍♂️ #GoLang 👍 #Python 👎 #JavaScript / #TypeScript 🤷‍♂️

They also said who wouldn’t try a new product from Google these days, they’re such an exciting product company. I wouldn’t? I have absolutely no interest in investing in a product made by a company famously uninterested in investing in their products.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response. so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

so if the new research proves AI is actually not using a lot of energy then why are AI companies so worried about not having enough energy is a question i am mulling to myself

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

Started experimenting with the idea of porting #OutboxKit to #GoLang Not sure if it's very idiomatic #Go, given me being so used to #CSharp #DotNet, but hopefully it's not too far 😅 github.com/joaofbantune...

Com a chegada da Dinamarca à presidência do Conselho da UE, o ChatControl está de volta. Se não sabes o que é e porque te deves preocupar, este artigo ajuda-te a perceber: shifter.pt/chatcontrol-...

It’s been a long time coming, but finally there’s no more Windows in the house (of the OS kind, I still have the ones that let light and air in 😅)

What in the actual hell is this 💩? Saw someone sharing it, thought it was a joke, but alas, this is really there in the docs. I don't even have words to describe the utter nonsense that this is. #DotNet #CSharp learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

New one up 🗞️ "Adopting Problem Details for HTTP APIs" In which I rant a bit, but also provide a glimpse into how we're approaching it at work. #OpenApi #HttpApi #ProblemDetails #DotNet #CSharp blog.codingmilitia.com/2025/07/15/a...

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for. Stop using WeTransfer.

Kind of sad that the linked issue, about being able to tailor a nice 400 response with actionable information for the API client, doesn't seem to even come close to be a priority. #DotNet #CSharp #MinimalApis github.com/dotnet/aspne...

In preparation for publishing v3 3.0.0, we've switched over to the new website at xunit.net (and new.xunit.net is no longer published). The new content lives at github.com/xunit/xunit.... (the old `gh-pages` branch of xunit/xunit will be deleted soon). Let us know of any issues with the new site!

Creating #DotNet new templates is such a pain 😮‍💨 Either Rider could use some improved support there, or I'm "holding it wrong" 😅

I just published a blog post about the OpenCLI initiative. I think it's time we had a way to standardize CLI automation! Feedback, suggestions, and thoughts are more than welcome. patriksvensson.se/posts/2025/0...

New version of #OutboxKit out, focused on resiliency. #DotNet #CSharp #OutboxPattern outboxkit.yakshavefx.dev

In mid 2010's? I still have to fight/workaround this resistance to using different stacks and we're mid 2025 😅 Folks probably missed the memo around these parts 😂

we have never been more back than right now, at this very moment, as you read this

Hey @martindotnet.bsky.social , would love a quick opinion 🙂 We're using problem details to provide our API clients with information about issues with the requests (validation, domain, etc), including a trace id in the payload.

Gotta love methods and parameters with vague names. What's the unit for this size threshold? I have to assume it's bytes, but as the saying goes "assumption is the mother of all f***-ups", so I shouldn't be assuming anything 😒

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

The worst part is that we have an administration now that wants people to use fossil fuels. Trump would have children shoveling coal into the data center hatch if it made him money somehow. I’m so tired of people handwaving the environmental impact. They did the same thing with web3.

I think this year I wrote code in C#, JS/TS, Python, Java, Go and SQL, most, if not all of them professionally (oh, and Terraform, if that counts as code 😅). And my main job isn’t even supposed to be writing code (hello draw.io my old friend 🎶😂).

From a couple of weeks ago: "How I've been building APIs and microservices lately (feat. C# & .NET)" In which I go through how I've been structuring projects, some patterns used, designing APIs, testing, and other tidbits. #DotNet #CSharp #AspNetCore #DDD blog.codingmilitia.com/2025/06/11/h...

This ain't new, and it's apparently a cover, but it's freakin' awesome 😅 Metal with traditional Japanese instruments 🤘🇯🇵 Who would've thought it would sound so good?! 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_xT...

We're stunned by the love our new #OpenTelemetry plugin for Rider has been receiving lately 🤯 We thought "Hey, observability inside the IDE sounds useful" and gave it our best shot, but the response has been...wow. Bottom line: No more dashboard hopping to optimize your .NET app! 👉 jb.gg/ot-in-rd

I don't know why I even try this crap

Dear Every Company: STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AI BULLSHIT THEY DIDN’T ASK FOR, DO NOT WANT, AND SOMEHOW CANNOT OPT OUT OF. Your bad choices are not our problem. Just stop it. Backtrack. I promise we won’t make too much fun of you. FFS. Stop it.
