AND WE'RE OFFICIALLY BACK! 🎉 The CFP for our 2026 Event is now open. Join us Sept 9th through Sept 11th in downtown KC for our best event yet: sessionize.com/kcdc-... #kcdc2026 #kcdc

If you or your team are considering upgrading to #dotnet 10 and/or the latest version of #Duende #IdentityServer, I have a #livestream for you! Join Joe, Wesley, and me as we discuss our top picks for #dotnet#duende#identityserver#livestream and #csharp features, along with what we're working on at Duende. We also want to […]

I made a site just to put stupid jokes on the Internet, and didn't want my name on it (nothing bad, just don't want my name on it yet). You have no idea how hard it's been to not share links here. But I hope the 2 people who see it every other day enjoy themselves.

Told my new team I use Visual Studio for everything git and haven't been fired for incompetence yet....yet.

One of the (too) many USB devices plugged into my PC is failing and I get a Windows notification and ding every 30 seconds. No idea which one. This may be a new form of psychological torture.

I work for a place that gives money to OSS project maintainers! That's just cool.

finally: you can Netflix and chill while i talk about genocide

Attention NuGet package owners! There is highly suspicious activity. Many users are receiving invitations to become co-authors of TestPackage.Security.Research from a user named darklord, or to join an organization. Do NOT accept these invitations under any circumstances. #dotnet #nuget #mvpbuzz

There seems to be an ongoing supply chain attack or suspicious activity on NuGet .org, where a user called darklord is trying to gain legitimacy or something by sending thousands of become owner of their packages requests, don't accept, report to @nuget.org #dotnet #nuget

Sorry to brag, but I don't do all this free work for nothing. Top 3%! Top 3%! For personal reasons, I'll wind down the speaking in 2027 by a lot, so I'm hoping to pack 2026 with more sessions. This includes meetups and podcasts, if you're looking for people.

This week we continue rewinding Agents of SHIELD, with Season 6, Episode 9: Collision Course (Part 2). www.mcurewind.com/437-aos-s6-e9 #Marvel #MCU #AgentsOfSHIELD Code 226

My favorite part of CES every year is all the great content from Cool Zone Media. Following the crew (like @iwriteok.bsky.social) on social media, and the episodes of Better Offline are all gold.

Actual web app analytics are crazy. What do you mean 6 visitors to my site had glashaus-restaurant.de as the referrer?! Looks like a nice restaurant though.

A 9 AM flight on new years day is not my dumbest decision, but I can't think of another one right now.

When I'm sick I subconsciously play it up when answering the door. Like the doordash guy needs to know I'm not lazy. Not this time at least.

Only using GitHub for personal stuff makes the GitHub Unwrapped kinda weird. 1 whole PR Merged all year!

I always forget Twitter's name changed until the once a month I type twitter[dot]com and it redirects to X. Hoping this works so I can completely stop checking in on it.

44 days 16 hours listening to podcasts this year. No, I don't think I have a problem.

I have so many questions. (Please don't make me ask them, there's only 2. Fine, only 1. But I can think of more depending on your response.)

At least next time Netflix raises prices we'll know the real reason.

Attending Boston Code Camp tomorrow? You can track your favorite sessions and see progress throughout the day by using the cool Sessionize mobile web page / app! boston-code-camp-39.sessionize.com - it's very helpful! See you at Code Camp!

Still a lot of work to do, but these lighthouse scores feel great for a backend developer.

Happy .NET 10 day to all who celebrate! I hope we can all upgrade soon. #dotnet

Boston Code Camp is pleased to welcome AL Rodriguez who will present "Setting Up a C# Pit of Success" at their November 22nd event. Registration is free and open - buff.ly/zpsvf4s @programmeral.com

A lot of good stuff in the news today. It's nice.

And now our rewinds of all MCU films in Phase 4 are complete. About a year to finish up the tv shows from that timeframe. Our tentative schedule is on our site at: www.mcurewind.com/release-sche...

the Aspire discord saw it first - new shirt dropped to celebrate the site launch www.bonfire.com/friends-dont... 🤌🏼

This week we start rewinding Spider-Man: Far From Home! This is the middle section of the film, When the field trip arrives in Prague to Spider-Man getting hit by a train and Mysterio redirecting the field trip. www.mcurewind.com/426-spiderma... #Marvel #MCU #SpiderMan Enter: Night Monkey

People outside tech don’t get how massive a blow the $100K/year foreign worker fee is. 66% of Silicon Valley’s tech workers are foreign-born. Even if some have green cards, that’s still a huge percentage hit with massive fees plus it limits the pipeline for new talent the industry relies on.

The yearly .NET performance improvements blog post is out. So if you're like me, time to read the article that's way smarter and us. devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/perfo...

The blue theme has been removed. This might be what finally pushes me to Rider.

And the big feature of Visual Studio 2026 is *checks notes* more A.I. Should have seen that one coming. devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio...

Video 9 in the my badly named Very Opinionated ASP.NET Core Architecture series is now on YouTube. This one changes the C# Cake build to publish the app to a Docker Image and uses a GitHub Actions pipeline to publish to a container registry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpwH...

The disappointing news just keeps coming this weekend.

Talking about nulls and not-nulls in C# in 2 weeks at a ONETUG Meetup! www.meetup.com/onetug/event...

Nothing like your A/C breaking in the middle of summer to remind you how much the past sucked.

If you're going to @confooca.bsky.social next year, you can vote on any sessions that have already been submitted. (You have to be signed in) confoo.ca/en/2026/call... While you're there, you might as well tell the organizers if any sessions by this weirdo look good to you confoo.ca/en/2026/call...

The main reason I don't like the current crop of A.I. tech is you can't trust it. For all of history, computers gave you definitive answers that could be traced back to a known source of truth. But we trained computers to answer with vibes and that won't end well.

Email addresses are very simple, and you will score highly in this quiz. e-mail.wtf

And here's video 8 in the Very Opinionated ASP.NET Core Architecture series. This one adds a build application using C# Cake to compile and package up the app. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w39J...

Video 7 is up. This one is about codifying our code by writing a code analyzer and a source code generator. Plus pointing out some benefits we get from spending the extra time doing that extra work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tggK...

If you ever watch/listen/read any of the content I create, then please, never tell me. I don't need to be halfway through a stupid joke and realize someone I know will witness it.

It's Predictin' Time! With #FantasticFour coming out in a week, we sat down to predict what might happen in the film. www.mcurewind.com/ff-predictions #Marvel #MCU

*Spoilers for The Bear* . . . He can't be that good of a chef. He's never beaten Bobby Flay.

Due to a scheduling issue I'll be speaking at the Greater Lansing User Group for .NET Developers (GLUGNET) this Thursday instead of much later. We'll be talking about the features in C#/.NET to help us setup a Pit of Success in our projects. It's free AND virtual! www.meetup.com/glugnet/even...

This week we take a short break from the MCU and rewind an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Season 3 Episode 9: The Wish! www.mcurewind.com/411-skrull-b... #Marvel #MCU The Wisher

Trying to buy a domain for a new project and every idea I have is taken but not used. I blame all programmers for this. Damnit people, stop doing that thing we all do.

Forgot to announce video 5 a few weeks ago. Anyway, videos 5 AND 6 are out now. 5 is a basic implementation of the ratings app, and 6 converts the app to use an Azure Managed Identity when connecting to Azure Table Storage. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

8 years after starting this podcast (to the week), we complete the rewind for Avengers: Endgame. I guess it's time to update the release schedule on www.mcurewind.com/release-sche...
