I love it when you spend 45 minutes researching something about a bug someone reported, and they don't even bother to reply.

Also want to take an opportunity to shout out a project of mine that's always been in the shadows: github.com/Tyrrrz/PolyS... It provides polyfills for ~500 BCL APIs, allowing you to write modern C#/.NET code on targets as old as .NET Standard 1.0 and .NET Fx 3.5. I use it in all my libraries ✨

I sure ramble a lot when I'm nervous. Hopefully I didn't ruin things completely 😅

Ok, random house owner tip of the day: A wifi module to the heat pump SOUNDS useful, but it's actually pretty useless. Save your money.

Let's do this!

Just purchased Techorama tickets. Anyone here going there?

www.etc.se/ledarkolumn/... "I rädslans ekonomi är valutan extremt ojämnt fördelad. Frågan vi måste ställa oss är vem som i dag äger rädslan, vem som har rätten att göra anspråk på den. Och vem som i slutändan vinner på den."

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself, then I remember that I could work for Meta in a parallel universe, and immediately feel better.

The recording of my talk from try! Swift Tokyo is already available on YouTube! I shared my perspective on what drives change in SwiftUI, how new APIs come to life, and why we should try to keep up with the changes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ-b... #tryswift #iosdev #swiftui

Whoopsie. I accidentally tagged the wrong commit yesterday (I missed 4 commits that contained some really nice stuff), so there is a 0.55.2 out now of Spectre.Console. 😅

I've released version 0.55.1 of Spectre.Console, a.k.a. the Aspire release, where I (and the community) have fixed bugs I introduced in the Aspire CLI since the last release. 🎉 github.com/spectreconso... @maddy.fm @davidfowl.com @mitchdenny.dev I'm sorry 😅

My new coffee mug arrived! #smbc (ping @zachweinersmith.bsky.social)

Are We Legacy Computing Yet? arewelegacycomputingyet.com

Five minutes to figure out the fix. Two hours and counting for figuring out how to test the fix. Good thing I'm officially unemployed! #silverlining

"That's quite expensive. We'll just build our own." "Your library doesn't do what we need. Fix it now. For free." "Why do you want budget to pay for free software?" "You said this was free! How dare you charge money for the latest version!" Sound familiar? Help us fix it: usewhatworks.org

I hate Unicode so much.

I'm so looking forward to dropping netstandard2.0 as part of version 2.0 of Spectre.Console...

I'm worried about today's children. Are they even smoking behind the school's gym anymore?

I'm live! for a few hours!

I'm very happy for Hungary today. More of this, please.

The MacBook Neo is way more capable than I thought it would be.

OK I have it up on my site yuwakisa.com/defrag/

”Traits give a package a way to expose configurable options to its users. A package can define traits it supports. And then, it can conditionalize compilation and configuration based on them.” This post by @massicotte.org finally made package traits click for me. www.massicotte.org/blog/package...

I added my little Elm architecture + Spectre.Tui love story to GitHub for anyone who wants to take it for a spin or build something themselves. A lot of rough edges, but I'm planning on smoothing them out a bit in the coming week. github.com/patriksvenss...

Hey folks! Today I’m launching N‑Studio — the successor to ScreenToGif. It’s a passion project that’s been years in the making, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it. nicke.tech/n-studio

I'm old enough to still be impressed by this. The first hard drive I got had the capacity of 20Mb, and that was A LOT then.

@bobarnson.com @robmensching.com I'm planning to contribute a WiX installer for an open-source project (not mine), but my WiX skills are a bit rusty. What is the recommended approach to get something up and running these days?

I never found a menubar app I liked for GitHub notifications, so I've been working on one. It's very keyboard-centric with several Vim keybindings. If you want to test it out: github.com/jasonlong/oc...

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

First actual "real" application using Spectre.Tui, using an Elm-inspired framework. The query is returning hard-coded data for now, and the info view is not yet implemented, but I like the programming model. Huge shout-out to @philco.bsky.social for the inspiration I drew from his library!

I returned to my structured editor roots a little bit and prototyped a scrollbar that shows the statement structure in method bodies. Also a document outline tree where statement structure is visible for larger methods. This way you can visually distinguish methods by their "shape".

Thinking of writing some kind of small TUI app tonight to take Spectre.Tui for a spin. Anyone have any suggestions?

@simoncropp.bsky.social Do you have any tips for finding verification files that are no longer in use? I suspect we have a lot of them lying around in Spectre.Console.

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

@jongalloway.bsky.social I've added some comments to your GitHub issue. I'm also thinking about versioning Spectre.Console.Cli together with Spectre.Console (still separate repos) so it will be easier to see what versions are compatible or not. What do you think about that?

Spectre.Console 0.55.0 is out! 🎉 A lot of new features and bug fixes, but also some breaking changes, so make sure you read the release notes! spectreconsole.net/blog/2025-11-13-spectre-console-0-55-released #dotnet #csharp #opensource

You had one job.

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

I added two new render modes for FigletText in Spectre.Console today: fitting (aka kerning) and smushing. Both will be available in the next version.

I just remembered how I bought Sean Lennon's "Into the Sun" record in 8:th grade and my friends (Bengt and Oskar) laughed at my choice of music! I still to this day think it's one of the best albums (after Beck's "Mutations") ever produced!

Apartheid intensifies.

Swift 6.3 has landed! 🚀 This release brings community-driven Android support into the official toolchain, along with major improvements to C interoperability, the build system, and embedded Swift. Read more: www.swift.org/blog/swift-6... #AndroidDev #iOSDev

Tonight I'm having beers with @ragnareklund.bsky.social!

I'd love to have more people install the Deck #PowerShell module and then join the Discussions in the project repo to help shape the future of this module. github.com/jakehildreth...
