ADRs don't fail because they are bad, they fail because no one reads them. The solution? Make AI read them. In my latest post I describe an MCP Server to feed your architectural decisions into Copilot and I think it's pretty nifty: hexmaster.nl/posts/mcp-se... #AI #MCP #Copilot #Documentation

Microsoft Aspire 13 is officially here, and it's a game-changer for cloud-native development! ​The jump to Aspire 13 is a massive leap forward, especially for polyglot teams. Full post: lnkd.in/e_9JdNA7 #MicrosoftAspire #Aspire13 #CloudNative #Polyglot #DotNet #Python #JavaScript

Aspire 13 just dropped with .NET 10 and it’s 🔥 No more ".NET Aspire", just Aspire. New versioning, and a ton of new features for building cloud-native apps. - Why the rename? - Why version 13? - What’s new? Read it all here: hexmaster.nl/posts/aspire... @aspire.dev #Aspire #dotnet #devtools

Updated my demo project to .NET 10 and Aspire 13 just 15 minutes before my talk... Yolo! Guess what, all worked flawlessly ❤️

Watching the F1 stream on @viaplaysportnl.bsky.social today. 1Gb up&down glass fibre connection and it appears as a slideshow. Same for the quali yesterday. The commercials stream flawless by the way. Yes, commercials on a paid stream. Back to F1 Pro, Viaplay is horrible

Who is going to attend .NET Assemble in Den Bosch, The Netherlands tomorrow? Join me and get the hang of @aspire.dev, and @daprdev.bsky.social and improve your local developer experience big time!

Aspire 9.5 has landed 🚀 and it's packed with updates across the dashboard, CLI, and more! Read the blog for some highlights or check out the What's New for the deep dive. Plus, join us at 4p PST for a live stream unboxing at youtube.com/@aspiredotdev! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/annou...

The amazing @willemmeints.bsky.social at @dotnetfriday.nl. With his session on Context Engineering, he shows how to vibe code in a professional way. Agent Mode, MCP, Copilot instructions, prompt building it's all there 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Level up local-first, cloud-ready dev with #Aspire + #Dapr. I built a small chat app to show how Aspire’s #AppHost orchestrates #services and #emulators in one command, while Dapr sidecars add pub/sub and state so you can swap Redis/Azurite for cloud services without code changes. bit.ly/aspirechat

Legends...

What cool blogs, videos or other publications have you found, apart from content delivered by the team, covering @aspire.dev or an #Aspire feature?

Het @aspire.dev, have you seen LinkedIn has community support for #Aspire #Users? www.linkedin.com/groups/12062...

on tomorrow's #AspiriFriday, @maddymontaquila.net is in the hotseat- @damianedwards.com and @davidfowl.com are going to (finally) make her use the new aspire publish and deploy commands, and maybe even the preview @azure.microsoft.com App Service integration! 12p EST! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEXi...

Add test data seeding to your Aspire project with custom commands (or use the OnResourceReady() hook if you like). hexmaster.nl/posts/aspire...

Happy summer @damianedwards.com, I just updated to 9.4.1, saves you from a lot of stress I heard...

Hooked up #keycloak in .NET Aspire and used a C# Web Api to validate tokens handed out to users of an #Angular front end app and it all just worked as expected with no severe web searches...

.NET Aspire makes working with Dapr 1000% more comfortable

Party People make some noise!! Aspire 9.4 is in da house! Yet another great effort by the Aspire team, these folks are on 🔥 devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/annou...

Help I'm useless now... My GH Copilot seems to have lost its ability to edit files (in agent mode). Anyone know how to fix that?

Happy to share I finished my demo app for an upcoming conference talk. It's .NET #Aspire with #dapr running a distributed (event-driven maybe) chat server, and obviously a front-end that allows you to actually chat. Runs locally, planning cloud deployment sometime soon: github.com/nikneem/aspi...

Doesn't is make sense to -When you use .NET Aspire and Azure Table Storage- to also create the tables, storage containers etc. in the Aspire host? @davidfowl.com @damianedwards.com I think this is infra work, can solve it with createIfNotExists(), but requires my app to have too much privileges.

Couple of minutes.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCWz...

Updating visual studio just before going online on a live stream with the .NET Aspire team, what could possibly go wrong? #yolo

Tomorrow, the Aspire team with @maddymontaquila.net broadcasts a live stream to Aspirify an app. I will join them to see if we can optimize the developer experience of an existing app and see what #Aspire can really do. Maybe @davidfowl.com or @damianedwards.com chime in as well?

This is lol

...he says to Signal's president

I think it's really annoying that you -as a conference speaker- get sponsor mails just because you were required to buy a speaker ticket

Will I see you at Experts Live tomorrow?

Whoop whoop, a new #DotnetFriday with Sjors Goering and @stenbrinke.bsky.social

We've been selecting speakers for @techorama.bsky.social (NL) for several rounds now and it's getting harder and harder. We still need to drop some, but choosing between a fantastic session and another fantastic session is just hard...

Hey y'all Dutchies, this Friday is #DotnetFriday, our meetup platform is Onnnn... Registration is free (but mandatory), see www.eventbrite.nl/e/registrati... for more... #Azure #Free #Meetup #Dotnet

Off time...

Who uses .NET AOT compilations in Linux containers?

Nothing compares to starting the day with good coffee....

Breaching our Non-Disclosure Agreement at the Microsoft MVP Summit? Last week, at the #MVPSummit in #Redmond, @roelant.info and I tried to pull information out of true leaders like @markrussinovich.bsky.social, @csharpfritz.com, @davidfowl.com, @maddymontaquila.net, and Amy Boyd youtu.be/97K5vU5txAY

Chihuly @ Seattle leaves some space for creative reflections

Living on the edge #MVPSummit

Mysterious times at the MVP Summit, are these 4 Dutchies up to something? @hnky.nl @ba.4bes.nl @roelant.info

Seattling like I have never Seattled before. Been a true tourist for three days, now on to the Microsoft Campus

Tourist time in Seattle, getting some off-time to prepare for the MVP Summit starting next Monday. Thrilled and excited to be back here, and really happy I got the opportunity to travel a bit early and have some quality time.

Looking for tips what to watch on a long flight (don't like science fiction and fantasy too much)

That was Future Tech. I was stunned by the opening act with two of my friends singing on stage. The conference was a blast and speakers better than ever. I met lovely new people and had a laugh (or two) with many well known community friends.

The .NET Aspire 9.1 dashboard shown by the amazing @maddymontaquila.net during her session about Aspire on the Future Tech conference in NL. Have you already worked on "Aspiring" your projects?

Two weeks count down for the MVP Summit (for me).

Hey @davidfowl.com, I'm struggling implementing SignalR in Aspire, with the new emulator. Do you have a demo app somewhere that I can peek at?

Who will be at Future Tech next week?

Just found EA released some code bases of old C&C-ish games including Red Alert: github.com/electronicarts

So I did my first roundtrip with Semantic Kernel and (Azure) OpenAI yesterday and I was stunned tbh. Wanted AI to analyze data and return structured data in JSON format and guess what, works flawlessly. Truly amazing

Oh excited... I'm going to do my first keynote session this year...
