With the features in Azure AI Foundry, and the release of the Microsoft Agent Framework, a guide for startup founders that pulls everything together would be valuable. Below, I’ve drafted a sample TOC... I’d love your feedback. 😍 P.S. Credit to Google’s Startup Technical Guide for influence.

Excited about Microsoft Agent Framework: devblogs.microsoft.com/foundry/intr... Currenly Microsoft has probably the most mature AI toolkit in the industry.

I just discovered that VMware Worstation Pro is now a free software! @vmware.bsky.social ... and is working great on top of @microsoft.com Hyper-V on Windows 11 Pro. Now you can have WSL2, Hyper-V and VMware all at the same time.

When WSL2 isn’t sufficient, you can take advantage of full Hyper-V (available on Windows 11 Pro) to run custom virtual machines. While Hyper-V may not offer all the refinements of VMware, it remains a robust and reliable solution for Windows.

WSL Part III: This video shows you how easy it is to install XFCE and XRDP, and transform your text‑only WSL installation into a full graphical Linux workstation. Check out the video for details. @developer.microsoft.com @microsoft.com

WSL Part II: Did you know you can run a full Linux desktop environment under WSL—and access it from your Windows machine using Remote Desktop? Check out the video for details. @developer.microsoft.com @microsoft.com

WSL Part I: If you're a Windows power user trying to make sense of the Linux file system in WSL, these two tools may come in handy. Check out the video for details. @developer.microsoft.com @microsoft.com

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, I vibe-coded a quick little game where you blast flying burgers and hotdogs 🍔🌭. It's lighthearted, festive, and a fun way to pass the time before the fireworks. Play it here (optimized for laptops) codeguppy.com/run.html?bLc... Will you blast your way to BBQ glory?

I wrote a book—not a big deal, just an illustrated JavaScript coding course for the whole family. The book has caught the attention of a publisher, but I’m not sure if I’ll go down that road just yet... ➡️ For now, enjoy the self-published edition: www.lulu.com/shop/marian-... Feedback welcomed! ☺️

In 2001, I wrote two articles on Internet Explorer that made it into print magazines. See my video. Say what you will, but back then, IE really did push the web forward. Links: codeavenger.com/dld/103_atel... codeavenger.com/dld/105_atel... powertests.net @developer.microsoft.com

If you've figured out how to exit Vim, here's your next challenge: run a code assistant in the terminal. There are multiple options available, but I suggest checking out these two: Claude Code anthropic.com/claude-code Gemini CLI github.com/google-gemin... Scrumptious 😍

When your product starts to gain traction, everyone has a request: Sales, CS, enterprise clients. But if you build by demand alone, you’ll lose clarity, and ultimately, product identity. See how product leaders can lead the roadmap and not just follow the noise. 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/faster...

Over the years, I’ve built a habit: If you're going to raise a problem, bring a potential solution with it ... even a rough one. It shifts the conversation from frustration to momentum. And over time, it changes culture. See details in the article below 👇. linkedin.com/pulse/stop-c...

What are you doing with your old magazine collection? Are you keeping them or recycling them? I decided to put mine out for bulk collection day.

Four people need to cross a tunnel, but they only have one flashlight. At most, two people can pass through the tunnel at a time. The times it takes each person to cross the tunnel are 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min. What is the minimum total time required for all people to cross the tunnel?

Great engineers show their thinking. You just have to know where to look. This article 👇 is a call to action for software engineering leaders looking for talent. www.linkedin.com/pulse/best-i...

I once hired a compiler engineer without a résumé — and it changed how I think about recruiting. Read the article to learn more 👇 www.linkedin.com/pulse/ditch-...

Has anyone here successfully launched a crowdfunding campaign? 🚀 I’m looking to build Coral Micro, a dedicated coding computer. You can check out the details here: mveteanu.github.io/techpapers/c... Would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations! 👇

I fell in love with computers many decades ago as a bedroom coder, programming a clone of the famous ZX-Spectrum 48K. Recently, I managed to recover some of my earliest work from an old audio cassette. Full story here: www.linkedin.com/posts/mvetea...

I asked someone which AI assistant they were using. They replied, "ChatGPT! Wait — there are others?" The answer surprised me slightly but is align with the following stats. Consumers know very little about AI chatbots other than ChatGPT. From: youtube.com/watch?v=egeq...

Home users, hobbyists, and aspiring entrepreneurs need a visual way to build apps. Not another clunky no-code/low-code platform, but a modern environment featuring a UI builder, sleek widgets, and clean, low-boilerplate code in a beginner-friendly language. AI? That’s the cherry on top. Feedback?

I also post on Twitter via the @CodeGuppy channel. The posts there focus on coding education and support for the CodeGuppy platform. Check out my posts here: x.com/CodeGuppy

I collect retro computers to support CS education. I'm intending to launch a traveling coding show for schools and libraries, focused exclusively on 8-bit machines. The show will feature working machines, interactive exhibits (using Raspberry Pi), and pop-up banners with CS information.

LLMs used to just bluff their way through stuff. Now they’re finally learning to say “not sure” when it’s legit unclear. Huge win for accuracy. Andrej Karpathy made a good point: LLMs aren’t just about generating answers anymore, but knowing when not to. That’s huge for trust.

My audience mostly falls into two categs: - The Support Squad / Auto-Likers – friends and colleagues who smash that like button without even reading the post. - That one dedicated individual who follows me across every platform. I'm both flattered and mildly concerned 😅 Grateful for all of you 🙌

How do you deal with information overload? What do you do with all those open browser tabs after a while? Do you abandon the idea of researching further and just close them? Do you bookmark or group them — only to never revisit? Or do you leave them open indefinitely?
