This is pretty much how every zombie movie ever created starts.

We've released version 0.56.0 of Spectre.Console. It's probably the last one before that sweet 1.0 release. Probably. spectreconsole.net/blog/2026-06...

I love programming and my job, but I have figured out what other job I would be good at: go outside and pick up litter with one of those pointy sticks. You know, like what people doing community service in American movies have to do. I don't even understand how that is considered a punishment.

I'm working with Tailscale, and have helped their Rust team ramp-up on Rust and release their Tailscale Rust library: tailscale.com/blog/tailsca.... If you want that kind of help to make your #RustLang adoption a success, I currently have availability for another client

I wrote an app for the GitHub Universe badge that will come in handy these days.

Oh no. I've started building something new.

Spending the afternoon converting an old Mac Mini M1 to a Fedora Asahi Remix home server. Hopefully this will take some pressure off my Synology NAS.

Iconify icons deployed though nuget github.com/Papyrine/Ico... #dotnet

I’m doing my first day today at Bitwarden’s R&D/Innovation team! Exciting!

Required seasonal reading

Not sure if it's an age thing or not, but watching someone else play a game is often more entertaining than playing it myself.

It's impossible to get hold of @mattermost.bsky.social if you want to apply for a free license for communities. We're a small group of friends who have been using Mattermost for about 5 years now. Suddenly, things stopped working after we upgraded, and it's impossible to get in contact with them...

shipped three new build warnings so your dotnet SDK can finally tell on itself. you're welcome jamiemagee.co.uk/blog/a-new-w...

Version 6.2.0 of Cake has just been released. - RWX CI support - Multi-target fixes - Security & bug fixes - Quieter builds & more: cakebuild.net/blog/2026/05... 🍰 🚀 #dotnet #devops #csharp

It's time to see Rufus Wainwright for the 1000th time!

Two more days before I start my new gig, which will mostly involve writing Rust! I wonder how this will affect my .NET open source projects... 😅

Introducing psign: portable code signing. every file format, every signing method, every platform 👇 No more "let's run this on Windows because of signtool.exe". Say yes to code signing from Linux! 🚀 github.com/Devolutions/...

I wish that "Breathe (In the Air)" by Pink Floyd were 3 times longer.

I made another release. Upgraded #NovaTerminal to use Avalonia 12. It is mainly tested on Windows and briefly on MacOS (virtual). github.com/benyblack/No...

Pretty darn crazy numbers, @sixlabors.com sixlabors.com/posts/announ...

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

#AzureSDK for #rustlang 🦀 has GA'd: we shipped our initial stable 1.0.0 version! 🎉 In this wave we have support for Storage Blobs and Queues, and Key Vault. Cosmos and Event Hubs are coming soon.

Proposal: Open Source Maintenance Fee for Verify github.com/orgs/VerifyT... Any feedback is appreciated #dotnet

Welcome to Arrakeen! www.shadertoy.com/view/sXXGDl

Swift 6.3.2 is available! 🛠️ This maintenance release includes updates to Swift Package Manager and Swift Build, making it easier to load package resources on background threads. More here: forums.swift.org/t/announcing...

📣🍏 Tiny Glade now runs on macOS! Mac users can finally pet the sheep (um, the rest of the game should work too 🤭) You'll need one of them "Apple silicon" Mac 'puters, like M1, M2, etc. or MacBook Neo. See our full post for details: store.steampowered.com/news/app/219...

Up until lately I haven't been giving it the love it deserves, but i've updated my github.com/jeppevammenk... library to support some of the newest changes to Spectre.Console library

Who's in Antwerp for Techorama?

@jimmybogard.com Saw that you're at Techorama. Can I buy you a beer tomorrow?

*record scratch* *freeze frame* You're probably wondering how I ended up here?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I've had worse days.

After nine years of running my own company, I'm finally writing some software to make things easier for me. Doing the quarterly VAT is such a pain...

I'm sure this won't confuse me when I revisit it in a week.

I recorded this little demo for an internal thing this week, but I'm too happy to let it stay internal, so here it is. To you it probably seems fairly normal, but for me, this is the culmination of 4+ years of (very) slowly putting pieces into place. Coming to VS and VS Code soon! #dotnet #razor

I hope you haven't missed that May is Maintainer Month: maintainermonth.github.com

LinkedIn really takes eventual consistency to a whole new level.

Chet Husk breaks down the future of .NET tooling — SLNX, multi‑agent builds, faster inner loops, smarter MSBuild, and why dev drives beat RAM upgrades. Catch the episode and sharpen your build game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKPx...

anybody have any tips for this pal in kenya looking for hardware to practice on?

For folks who used System.CommandLine in its long beta and customized their CLI help with HelpBuilder before it became internal in the GA, here's a source-compatible HelpBuilder using the old API. Give it a try and let me know what you think. www.nuget.org/packages/Hel... #dotnet #csharp #cli

I'm happy to announce that I've finally reached the 'Time to scrub the bathroom with vinegar and dish soap' phase of my unemployment!

I added some very basic examples to the Spectre.Tui repository README, if anyone wants to take it for a spin: github.com/spectreconso...

I'm going to give Tangled a try as a replacement for GitHub for future work unrelated to active projects. Seems very nice at a glance, with built-in support for vouching and atproto login. You can find me over at tangled.org/patriksvenss...

I just compared my cold to giving birth, and my wife was NOT amused. Who would have known? 🤷‍♂️

I'm super sick today. Everyone stop what you're doing and feel sorry for me. Thanks for your cooperation.

I wrote a small application framework on top of Spectre.Tui, in addition to my Elm experiment. This one is more like a game engine, with a screen stack and an update/render loop, and it also handles focus. Fits TUI applications very well to my surprise!

Hot take: All TUI apps should be keyboard-only.

Now that we finally will get unions in C#, can we also (please) get something trait-like as in Rust, where I can implement an interface for any type, regardless of whether I own it or not? 🙂

Hot take: More "normal" people would try Linux if the OOTB experience wasn't so ugly. My sister called it "Temu macOS" a while back, and TBH, she’s not wrong.
