*Are you sure your access tokens are really secure?* by @gotsharp.be is a really great talk that exposes common validation mistakes that let attackers use forged tokens and explains how to prevent them. @ndcconferences.com youtube.com/watch?v=Jc1D...

Recording of my talk on passkeys in #aspnetcore at NDC Copenhagen is up! #dotnet Also includes a pointer on how to add passkeys to Razor Pages for folks who aren't on the #Blazor train. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7eb... #dotnet

Darknet Diaries always has interesting stories. I bet I'll like it even if I haven't had the time to listen yet. Hope to hear more of these cool and fascinating stories this year.

Hi. I have a new episode for you. Ready? Ep 169: MoD It's part 2 of the LoD/MoD saga and this one has such a crazy ending. I can hear you saying "what!?" already. Go listen. It's ready for you. darknetdiaries.com/episode/169

This is the reason why we need to keep humans in the loop. A lot of people seem to think AI is some magical tech that can replace devs. It isn't. It's a tool. A slightly smarter nailgun. I will not trust a nailgun to make decisions about the software that keeps my company running.

If everything Rob Pike created vanished overnight, the Internet would stop working. If everything AI created vanished overnight, we’d all breathe a huge sigh of relief and get on with our lives.

If you've never heard of the linebreakers, you're in for a treat. If you know them, you're in for a new treat.

The versatility, ease of reading and the language helps you prevent bugs are my most important reasons for liking #fsharp.

We're very happy to help the FBI with processing another 630M passwords recently seized from a suspect. This includes 46M we'd never seen before, which are now all in @haveibeenpwned.com's Pwned Passwords, where they're queried 18 *billion* times a month: www.troyhunt.com/processing-6...

I've given a talk about #functionalprogramming in @fsharponline.bsky.social over at Build Stuff. I think it was well received.

Sometimes, especially in the past few years, this is what it feels like to work in tech.

Hey, @jetbrains.com, it seems you have a little problem with your lastest release. 😯 It doesn't just detect usage, it also doesn't properly rename. This fails with all renames (classes, properties, functions,...). I think something is wrong with your symbol detection.

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand. Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on. Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

F# 10 makes it possible to use let! .. and! to await two tasks in parallel. This brings back some memories!

@microsoft.com I love your products, but hate your sales department. I have Partner benefits package which includes Office 365. I just got the warning that my license is expiring in Feb 2026 (3 months before the expiration).

My @polestarcars.bsky.social 2 can now display #Waze on the display behind my steering wheel. This is awesome, now I can use it just like Google Maps. Not sure who made this happen, but it's awesome!

I love that I'm getting an extra meal for my dog for Christmas from @butternutbox.bsky.social! Thanks for the awesome surprise. ❤️

And dotnet just became a lot more secure and convenient.

I hate these steps.

This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TCb...

This is something I worry about for myself, as alluring as the convenience is. I've used it a couple of times to get over the "activation energy" but have rewritten for clarity/style/functionality/belligerence reasons

It's Halloween. So here's a story about the horror of replacing your developers with AI: accu.org/journals/ove...

Found a nice post about syntax highlighting. I'm trying it out as we speak. Thanks to @tonsky.me ! tonsky.me/blog/syntax-...

Closing in on Wolverine 5.0. New docs today for SignalR and Redis integrations: github.com/JasperFx/wol... github.com/JasperFx/wol...

Feedback from @ursenzler.bsky.social ! 🎉 I know I did something right if he didn't walk out halfway through the session. 😉

It's not too late to join the #JetbrainsDotnetDays2025 and come and find out why functional programming in #fsharp is either a passing fad or absolutely fabulous! blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2025/... Many thanks to @jetbrains.com for organising this!

It seems like @vivaldi.com and @1password.bsky.social are fighting for password manager dominance. Unfortunately, I can't tell Vivaldi to let 1Password manage this part. Could you team up and make this experience a lot more smooth?

I wholeheartedly agree. When I'm stuck on a problem, I go for a walk with the dog. 10 minutes or an hour, it doesn't matter. By the time I'm back, I have at least one, and in most cases several, new approaches I can try.

Don't forget #fsharp! Come find out if it's a fad or absolutely fabulous.

Leave it to @troyhunt.com to do good after bad things have happened. It's nice to read good and uplifting news.

always funny to see the same two posts right after another "why is the OSS ecosystem in MS-land so much smaller than other platforms" "we DEMAND that MS build an eventing framework over OSS alternatives"

I too would like to work with this awesome company. Unfortunately, I live in the wrong part of the world for this. Hope this helps somebody find their dream job.

Guess who is speaking about #fsharp during the @jetbrains.com #JetBrainsDotNetDays2025! #dotnet blog.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2025/...

I love #passkeys! Here's to hoping lots of sites start using them. If you don't know what they are, check this insightful post by @troyhunt.com : www.troyhunt.com/passkeys-for... And don't forget to store them into @1password.bsky.social

I had almost forgotten about the GAC. Almost... So now I have to share the pain.

Shit happens, but I love how @plex.tv handled the incident. They sent me an email with some details, what was stolen and, most importantly, steps on how to keep my account secure. @troyhunt.com would be proud!

😂😂🤣🤣

I thought the bug was fixed...

It pisses me off that gay people are hated mostly because of some poorly translated ancient outdated book full of other bullshit idiots base their entire lives on. Religion is a curse, man.

After reading @troyhunt.com 's piece on getting local advice after a breach (www.troyhunt.com/get-pwned-ge...), I would like to nominate SafeOnWeb (safeonweb.be) as the Belgian source.

I read over and over again on social media that LLMs get developers to 80% quickly. What they forget is that the second 80% - it is never just the remaining 20% - takes 5 times as long as the first 80% 😂

All those "16 billion passwords" headlines in June sounded hyperbolic, didn't they? Yeah, turns out they were: www.troyhunt.com/that-16-bill...

So you are a CLEAN CODER - really? Two async funcs: - Classic style: scroll & chase vars - Pipeline style: see every step in order, linear data flow, no “what’s this var now?” 💡 Idiomatic in #fsharp 😅 Possible in #csharp, less readable & less accepted ❌ Not practical in #typescript / #javascript

Putting all your controllers in one directory and your views in another Is like putting the cortisone and hemorrhoid cream in the drawer with toothpaste because they're all tubes.
