Great discussion about "new" async/await in .NET with Andy Gocke from the .NET team! A lot for me to read and dig into the new implementation - github.com/dotnet/runtime…

@captainsafia Best of luck, Safia! I hope to work with you again someday.

After 7 years, my time at Microsoft has come to a close. I grew from a green dev into a bonafide engineer, shipped work I’m proud of, and learned what it takes to build software that lasts from amazing people. Taking a short breather then on to the next adventure! 🚀

Congratulations @dotnet team! We have been running bing.com on .NET 10 builds for a few months now and we love the latency savings 🙏🏾 @MSBing_Dev @bing #dotnet1

🚀.NET 10 is here! ✅ LTS release ⚡ Faster: JIT, NativeAOT, AVX10.2 🔐 Post-quantum crypto + AES KeyWrap 🛠 File-based apps (run main.cs directly!) 🤖 AI Agent Framework + MCP 🌐 Blazor upgrades, OpenAPI 💻 C# 14: field-backed properties devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announc… #dotnetconf

What do @MadsTorgersen & I share (besides a love for curly braces)? Turns out, something that is a feature, not a bug. And it's called ...👉 #ADHD. In the pilot of #SharpAndUnfiltered, we talk the back and forth to clarity, symptoms, and superpowers. youtube.com/watch?v=bTsGKi…

hi folks! it’s been quite a while since I had time to write a blog post. with the upcoming .NET 10 release, I’m finally sharing more details on DATAS and tuning tips you might find useful. check it out here: maoni0.medium.com/preparing-for-…

.NET STS releases now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support! devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotnet-…

like final destination wasn't exactly original but it was FUN and well execute. together, sinners, and weapons are actually kind of ambitious and weird and original

so i'm a regal unlimited guy and all the summer blockbusters are basically fine, but i probably did enjoy these 4 horror films (and naked gun) more than anything so far this year.

GitHub Copilot Coding Agent is now available to all paid Copilot users. 🎉 If you have a GitHub Copilot license, you can assign issues to Copilot to work on for you in any of your repos, or ask a question like "@copilot open a PR to improve my test coverage" in Copilot chat in VS Code or GitHub today.💡 github.blog/changelog/2025…

Just gave a talk about the new .NET abstraction for vector databases that was released a couple weeks ago - Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData! youtube.com/live/BB_jMqqfa…

@SamoBurja I think this might be true for masters and domain experts, but will make breadth work much more efficient

Not all tools build intellectual capabilities of the user the same way. I think search engines were a boon for deep thinkers in the 2010s when they actually worked well. With them autodidacts could become truly impressive. In contrast LLMs are good for journeymen not masters.

@moultano @MattZeitlin This is the right answer.. young science minded kids are all about What If and the YT vids

@MattZeitlin My kids adore all his books, what if and what if 2 get picked up regularly and re-read.

is xkcd still kicking? it's crazy how it's a lingua franca for a certain stratum of millennial but i don't think it has any cultural heft in older or younger cohorts

utter madness. although the brutalist and conclave picks were good. i wonder what percentage of this is people not being able to tell score from songs in musical (emilia perez and wicked)
