With a fresh install of VS2026, installing the Bundler & Minifier 2022+ extension can corrupt the installation. However, repairing with Visual Studio Installer and then installing the extension again works. The extension now works properly. 🤷🏻‍♂️ github.com/failwyn/Bund...

Did you ever want to develop a game with #GodotEngine 1.0? Its binaries were lost to time, but earlier this year I fixed compilation with modern toolchains, so I could rebuild it for desktop platforms. That's now merged: github.com/godotengine/... Downloads: github.com/godotengine/...

Nano Banana Pro, released this morning, is clearly the best image generation model. Superb instruction following, plus it can generate full infographics (with correct spelling and properly rendered text!) from a short prompt based on running extra searches simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/20/...

LINQPad 9 is now RTM www.linqpad.net/LINQPad9.aspx

PSA: If you use Humanizer in your #fsharp project and call the ToQuantity(int) method, do NOT upgrade to 3.0.1. They removed that overload, instead relying on ToQuantity(long), and the F# compiler is NOT happy about that. github.com/Humanizr/Hum...

The loss of an elimination status means that measles will once again be considered endemic to the US, an embarrassing public health backslide for a vaccine-preventable disease.

Remember when the Internet could go for weeks or even months without a major outage? That was cool. It's almost like we've unlearned how to do this right. In the past couple weeks: AWS, Azure, Cloudflare… git at GitHub is currently down.

Better yet - don't cook turkey at all 😬

Cloudflare is down... I use UptimeRobot to monitor sites. UptimeRobot is also hosted on Cloudflare. It is VERY BROKEN right now. DownDetector is another useful tool for checking site availability. Also hosted on Cloudflare. DownForEveryoneOrJustMe... yep, hosted on Cloudflare. GOLLY THIS IS FUN!

Any #fsharp users out there who saw a slowdown in compilation performance with #dotnet 10, too? This makes me question whether or not I should stay on dotnet 10 or rather downgrade. github.com/dotnet/fshar...

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.

Life pro tip for developing C# Azure Functions: don't use FunctionsApplicationBuilder. Apparently it doesn't read Connection Strings from Azure Portal. Stick with HostBuilder instead.

Woof. It’s a good night to be recovering a crashed VM. 😐

🍰Fairly proud of this one! It took a bit of effort to turn the Cake .NET tool scripting engine into "just" a single SDK directive for use in regular .NET projects, but with the simplicity&feel of the DSL, making migrating existing scripts fairly straightforward. Also same day .NET 10 & C#14 support🎉

Did you notice that the "What's new in F# 10" page is longer than the "What's new in C# 14" page? #justTrolling #dotnet #fsharp #csharp learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet... learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet...

Only hiccup with Visual Studio 2026 so far is that it hangs when building an F# exe. Will have to dig in more tomorrow. “dotnet build” and “dotnet test” work fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️
