Overnight the #aspire team shipped Aspire 13 - the next major release! It has so many goodies in it, the team is really proud of the release. Try it out and let us know how you go! aspire.dev to get started!

Decided I needed to finally put a website at my mitchdenny.dev domain.

There comes a time in every fresh desktop install of Linux where one has to change the inotify limits.

Maybe we should add an AddYaml(...) API to #aspire. No particular format, we just feed it into an LLM and if it is well formed it will guess what you wanted it to do, otherwise it would make vague suggestions about where your YAML is malformed.

I’m on leave but getting notifications from work about folks bike shedding about an API name in #aspire. Peek developer behavior…

I have most of my DNS domains hosted on GoDaddy - but the GoDaddy DNS interface is somewhat constrained (apex domains are a problem). So, I'm moving the hosting of the name servers over to Azure. I'm using @github copilot to translate the exported zone file to a Bicep file build a pipeline. Cool!

I've been on a voyage of discovery with my PC keyboard.

aspire.dev is live! Deployed with #aspire to boot!

Some pretty amazing improvements coming in the next release of #aspire. And it's not all just about .NET, just deployed a Python-based app with a React frontend. Total time time from `aspire new` to deployed in the cloud? About 10 mins including all the apps dependencies.

It’s happening! Aspire 🫶 MAUI

Who is this on the #aspire team?

You know API design is going well when someone suggests we need an "optional required" mechanism.

The @github.com #copilot CLI is proving itself to be quite a useful tool for challenging automation tasks where writing a deterministic script/program would be next to impossible but with some prompting you can get it to handle a variety of scenarios fairly easily.

Everyone is entitled to their wrong opinion I guess: https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/vic/2025/10/06/charlie-hunnam-coffee-melbourne (truth be told, the best coffee I ever had was actually in NSW)

Just bought my ticket for @dddmelbourne.bsky.social 2026.

I love how on Bluesky the character limit for a post is 300 characters. But if you add an image, you can set alt text with 2000 characters. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. Not quite - but it is worth 2000 characters!

I had a whole bunch of PRs that I had parked pointing downhill that were going to be easy to merge today and @davidfowl.com merged them on me overnight. What am I supposed to do now? Build a new feature on Friday?

Quote of the day from @maddymontaquila.net "I just sounded like a normal idiot."

Happy Monday 💫 Now that 9.5 has shipped, we posted an update about our roadmap on GitHub calling out what we've completed and what's in progress - let us know what you think! github.com/dotnet/aspir...

Note to future self. When you accidentally CTRL-C pacman -Syyu right in the middle of updating nvidia-open-dkms, remember that trying to replace it with nvidia-dkms is just going to lead to sadness.

Interesting article about libghostty: mitchellh.com/writing/libg... I think it would be great to have an easily embeddable low dependency terminal emulation library. I could certainly use it for testing purposes in #aspire.

Live stream heard it first - #aspire extension for #vscode now in prerelease!!! it is SUPER EARLY so please share your feedback! marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

13 the first of the primes…

This ladies and gentlemen -- is what you call a PM hangover. Its what happens when you get _all_ the features you asked for but now have to write the release notes for them.

Me when my PR won't automatically backport to a release branch.

I think this post wins the Internet today

You know ... I wouldn't mind the summarize conversation from Teams in Discord ... the #aspire Discord conversation flows if you look away from it for a day or so. aka.ms/aspire/discord

There are days that I regret my usage of Tuples as return types.

Announcing .NET 10 Release Candidate 1 hubs.li/Q03JdMnT0 #dotnet #OSS

Jumping into a greenfields internal project in .NET and it doesn't have aspire. Guess what my first PR will be!

I've used git reflog five times today. How is your day going?

Ah yes, the joy of bringing everyone offline the morning after a power outage.

Every week members from the #aspire team demo some of the things that they've been working on in the previous week to the rest of the team. And every week my mind is blown. Just saw a demo that even in its rough form you could put on stage at any conference and would get roaring applause.

Victorian government is considering passing legislation which enshrines the ability to work from home into law for a certain number of days per week of the role allows for it: engage.vic.gov.au/project/wfh/...

Ok so one thing I never understood from my time living in the US is why people loved the Goldfish snacks so much. They were so bland and tasteless. My son loved them but every time I tried one I remembered how much I missed Chicken Crimpy biscuits.

As I was watching this #aspirifriday I started thinking that what we need is an IResourceWithFileset (or something like that. The idea being that there are resources in the app model that specifically produce files, and then there are resources in the app model that can use that knowledge.

Been working on an internal presentation on our experiences with #github #copilot on the #aspire team. Got a bit distracted using #microsoft365 #copilot to generate images to help tell the story. Prompting artwork is an art form in and of itself.

Got myself a nice Keychron keyboard last week. I love the feel of it but unfortunately, it's pretty much died on me :( Will be returning to the store to swap it out - hopefully it's just a lemon and not indicative of general build quality.

Some of the investments we've made in #Aspire 9.4 and 9.5 have been engineering velocity focused and are rapidly allowing us to dogfood changes to the Aspire CLI, integrations, and other upcoming features. That combined with Copilot is turning to be a potent combination.

@governor.ca.gov's The Starfleet Academy line certainly gave me a chuckle this morning. But for my money I really appreciate @govpritzker.illinois.gov - this address years ago is what sold me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uFw...

I wish someone who understood ROS2 would have a stab at integrating it with Aspire.

Been having some fun today setting up sshd inside a docker container and forwarding incoming connections to a TCP server (in #dotnet) and hooking that up to Spectre Console. The challenge of course is that you loose all of the information that SSH sends to the host on window resizes etc.

Updating is as simple as updating the SDK & package versions in your AppHost project file. Soon, it'll be as simple as running `aspire update` 😉

Aspire is at version 9.4.1 now. That's the only supported version. If you're using an older version, update now. You must update to the latest version to be in support & get the awesome new features. What are you waiting for? learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspir... #dotnet

I jumped off social for a number years, not Twitter, no LinkedIn. I reached out to an old colleague from many years ago on LinkedIn and they just accepted the connection request and said they had assumed I was dead. I wonder who else came to my funeral.
