Is this place still a thing?! 👀

Hello Bluesky. It's been a (too) long time. 🙂

SpecFlow is GONE! 😲 Today, I explain why SpecFlow is gone and what alternative BDD testing framework for .NET is available in 2025! · The Current State And Compatibility of Reqnroll · The SpecFlow+ LivingDoc Dilemma · Should You Migrate to Reqnroll? youtu.be/FBjFXkv9Wv4

What's everyone up to this week? I have at least work for 2 weeks lined up and will start by finishing two articles for the Progress Telerik blog. 😎 Obviously, those are the January articles. 😆

Any highlights this week? What are you working on, or what library have you tried this week? I'm currently using Excubo.Blazor.Canvas to enhance an existing application with 2D drawings/visualizations.

1/ 🚨 FluentAssertions is Now a Paid Product! 🚨 In a surprising move, this well-loved .NET library switched to a paid license. Here's what happened and what it means for .NET devs. A thread 🧵: #dotnet

🚨 FluentAssertions is Now a Paid Product! 🚨 In my latest video, I break down the sudden licensing change, the community outrage, and what it means for .NET developers. 👉 Watch here: youtu.be/6B3zH70KOMw Don't miss the details & alternatives to keep your projects moving forward! 🚀 #dotnet

Tomorrow, your timeline will be full of '5090' tweets. 😁

I try to stay on top of what's happening JS/TS web development and .NET. I use both for different projects and when I tend to use what I think fits better for a certain scenario. Do you think it's too much to keep up to date with two worlds?

Officially back to work after a well-deserved and definitely needed break at the end of the year. 🏝️ I rode 500 km on my indoor smart trainer bike between December 24th and December 31st. 🚴‍♂️ Ready for 2025. Let's go! 🚀

Working from home in Switzerland. ☃️

Proud to be of service to the fantastic .NET community with free videos for 6 years! 🥳

For whatever reason, I was suddely not part of the Creator Network (Recommendations) on Kit.com anymore. It's unfortunate because I lost many potential subscribers within the last 2-3 weeks. I have absolutely no idea why I was (without notice) excluded. Make sure to check your settings!

You have to buy a hardware server for a web application and a database server in 2024... Is there a reason to go lower than current gen. 8-core, 64 GB RAM, and 1TB SSD? Should be around $2k per server. I'm not debating buying an on-premise server at this point because it's not my (bad) decision.

This week, I: - learned about DNS A records - managed a Linux server - installed Pausible (self-hosted) - used nginx as a reverse proxy (first time)

It looks like I will take time off between Christmas Eve and the new year. 😎 I haven't done that in years. About 10 work days left in 2024. 😲

I'm starting to clean up my domains. After decades, I'm transferring them to a more affordable hoster and canceling the domains I don't need anymore (read: have never needed). 😀

You can only be great at Development and programming if you are truly willing to be bad at it first. If you are willing to be bad, pay attention and learn. If you do that, you will truly become great at this!

Debugger and Diagnostic Updates in Visual Studio 17.12 -

Just unsubscribed to a few mailing lists I don't really get value from anymore. I run an email newsletter myself, and it's fine if people unsubscribe because they have moved on and aren't interested in the topic anymore. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed by emails.

Business stuff is going in the wrong direction. - Google doesn't want to accept my tax residency document. - Amazon locks my account due to suspicious activity - Government regulations turn out to be different than I thought Sometimes, it's just not fun. However, you always learn something new. 😀

Writing new blog posts about Blazor, Blazor WebAssembly AOT, and real-time communication in Blazor Web Apps using SignalR for the Progress Telerik blog. If you're new to Blazor, there is a whole Blazor Basics section with ~40 articles. www.telerik.com/blogs/tag/bl...

I lose so much time because of my monitor issue. 😔 I know it's not really a problem since I have two monitors left of the three-monitor setup, but it's so annoying not to understand what's wrong and what I can do to fix the issue... 😱 It drives me crazy.

I added more details and context to the post on Reddit. Please upvote on Reddit so that maybe a pro will help me. 🙏 I'd appreciate it if you could take a few seconds to see if that problem is familiar to you. I still couldn't find a solution. 😔 www.reddit.com/r/techsuppor...

What is the best forum/place to get help for a strange PC problem? One of my side monitors suddenly started having an issue: It doesn't show the lower fourth of the image. I tried different cables, HDMI vs. DP, switched GPU ports, etc. Strange thing: When I connect it to my notebook, it runs.

Implementing code as the basis for an article I will write took me almost two full days. 0 words written. It's not all fun or smooth sailing for most content creators. I'm not complaining - it's a journey I chose myself. As a consumer, it taught me to appreciate and value free content more.

What do you do when you spend all day working but somehow don't have any real results? I default to a lot of sports and try again tomorrow. 😂

Looks like Clippy has gone into high fashion in its post-Microsoft Office life. 📿💍

This week is going to be a writer's week. I have at least four articles lined up for this week. Additionally, I plan on recording another YouTube video. Busy week ahead - let's see what's possible. 😎

I have literally watched over 20 YouTube videos on this subject over the past three days (I'm getting up to speed on #Aspire). This was the best one...

I think this place has a lot of potential. Friendly people, many developers, great content (so far). People find me through starter packs and other sources. Compared to Mastodon, it feels much simpler, and I get much better engagement. I will create a lot of content here.

I am still in the process of migrating my website, but the first results are promising, as expected. I will blog more about my transition from WordPress to Astrojs in the future and maybe also record a video. Do you have any specific questions that I can answer?

I love writing C# and I don't care who hears me say that 💜.

I'm currently improving a lot with my queries for ChatGPT. This week, I learned so much about topics I didn't know much about before. It's so efficient for learning new things. This is huge! Can we talk more about that instead of AI-generated images, video, text, etc.?

Packed a great story combined with valuable information into this week's newsletter issue. If you subscribe today, you'll miss this issue and start with next week's newsletter. However, feel free to reach out in Chat (DMs), and I will figure out how to send it to you.
