S08E14 - From YAML Chaos to C# Clarity: Mattias Karlsson on Cake Build We interview Mattias Karlsson about Cake, a powerful C# build orchestration framework for .NET. Mattias discusses the frustrations of YAML-based CI/CD pipelines, how Cake simplifies builds, and the incredible benefit of being

Your first app interface should be a CLI! Kathleen Dollard talks on .NET Rocks at www.dotnetrocks.com/details/1992 about the power of the .NET CLI and its growing importance for AI technologies - and making your application easier to use!

@byt3m3chanic.bsky.social inspired by your shader of the week contribution I wanted to do some truchet madness as well:

Blue And Red - Fight The Robots #commodore #Amiga arcade action game. youtu.be/PK4TR7PhgY4 Release tomorrow

Trying to write some obfuscated C: gist.github.com/mrange/6f64a... If someone tried it in ubuntu/mac tell me how it worked out. It needs to be run in a terminal that handles unicode.

Hi everyone! I was informed this morning that I am no longer employed at Sonar. With that, I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. If you hear of any opportunities or just want to catch up, please send me a message or comment below. I’d love to reconnect. #OpenToWork

The amazing @rangemarten.bsky.social have created three new Spectre.Tui "shaders", which (IMO) look fantastic!

I created a page to acknowledge the shader tools and people that helped shape FragCoord

Editing #protracker pattern art is so 1990. Create your own mod fx. Now open source. github.com/virgill1974/...

Amiga Ruhrpott Convention 2026. Looking forward to it. amiga-ruhrpott-convention.de

@patriksvensson.se Added a new effect for you. Just for fun: github.com/patriksvenss...

@rangemarten.bsky.social I added a Spectre.Tui shader selector using the new ListWidget functionality 😀

Introducing FragCoord: My ultimate shader editing tool!

Discord adding age checks and might require uploading ID. I am not doing that. What are decent discord replacements? Preferable i europe.

@patriksvensson.se porting another shader to Spectre TUI FYI. I want to optimize it a bit before sharing.

Why would you write code to generate code? @JasonBock.net talks on .NET Rocks at www.dotnetrocks.com/details/1988 about his experiences using modern .NET source generators to optimize certain aspects of applications!

It was great to follow along! 🙌

I did a shader presentation at #swetugg using @hexler.bsky.social kodelife and deployed in #shadertoy

With the Cookie Collective we worked on a playful exhibition for an immersive experience. We used @godotengine.org to create games, received input from controllers with serial port, send events to an audio server through OSC and upload a 7286x380 video signal through NDI to 11 video projectors.

Ever heard a 12 channel, 16bit music on a #Commodore #Amiga 500 ? soundcloud.com/virgill/amig... Insane UNZ code by Platon42, not so insane music by me.

Woohoo! Hippo and her travel companion are on board and ready for our Stockholm adventure! A week with Friends and then on to #Swetugg!!!

Noticed an old shader of mine got selected as shader of the week. Nice!

Tweaked it a bit more:

7 years ago I did something that I never thought I would want to do*. I stood up in front of people and dlivered a talk, my first ever talk. At an international conference, #Swetugg In just over a week, I'll be back, this time helping as well as talking 🤩 See you there! swetugg.se

More sky + water experiments:

LLM "hallucinates" and I believe it's an intrinsic problem of LLMs. The more serious problems of LLMs, I think, is the Yes-Sayer persona that we put into it. I suspect world-leaders today rely on Yes-Sayer LLM bots that sounds smart but isn't and that can have serious consequences for the world.

This is a perfect piece of technical writing. alexharri.com/blog/ascii-r...

I was invited to the Tech Sharmit Podcast and had a lovely chat with Armit Sharma about building systems that last - across industries, cultures, and decades of technological change. The episode is now published on YouTube: youtu.be/J4SfmCrB_Rw?...
