Vikings defense is so fun to watch!

There’s dark patterns and then there’s void of the abyss patterns

I challenge someone to find better raspberries than fallgold.

The Lynx are so fun to watch! Some of my favorite basketball.

I really liked season 1 of House of dragons. At this point I dislike all the characters and want the dragons to eat them all.

I feel bad for any startup that goes after Jeff and Sanjay

Great summer Geek Out podcast on data centers in space. Very well done without personal biases. Was hoping for one of these without having to wait until December. share.snipd.com/episode/394e... Thank you! @richcampbell.bsky.social

Git worktrees are the new hotness now that agents can work on parallel instances of your codebase. What they don’t solve is the port conflict problem, that’s where aspire run/start —isolated comes! By @james.newtonking.com devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/aspir... #aspiredev @aspire.dev

OpenAI Whisper and Apple’s “say” command are easy to run locally for free on cheap hardware and do an amazing job at audio to text and text to audio.

“If someone 50 years ago planted a row of oaks or a chestnut tree on your plot of land, you have something that no amount of money or effort can replicate. The only way is to wait.” lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/3/20/so...

Currently building a podcast assistant to transcribe and send me daily summaries. Loving how this is upping my podcast game. OpenAI’s whisper tool is awesome and runs great on a cheap computer.

Thank you @richcampbell.bsky.social @dotnetrocks.bsky.social for one of my favorite reoccurring Christmas presents I look forward to each year. Can’t wait for the energy one! Still hoping to see them become their own thing someday. share.snipd.com/episode/5088...

Mind-blowingly cool use of AI “Altogether, these findings are leading us to an extraordinary conclusion: Whales may possess a communication system more intricate than our own, one that possibly predates human language by tens of millions of years.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

So, what have ya'll built with .NET 10 so far today? Favorite features? Things still on your wish list?

Created a super simple decodable worksheet generator for kids. The lists of words and categories are AI generated so it’s not perfect but it’s better than anything else I could find for my needs. You can shuffle and select categories and grade level and print math.mattf.im/reading/deco...

This is how AI should be used in most industries. Small chunks, easy enough for a person to read & reason without giving too much planning & control up.

Windows 11 & the “new” Outlook seem to have so many bugs. Some days it amazes me how this is the 2nd largest market cap company in the world & these are 2 of their main products that every business uses.

Summer cleaning! Disabling auto-renew on the graveyard of domains I swore I’d build something on and admitting they will never become real projects. 🪦

Nice short theory talk on building a MCP server for your API and how to think of their different use cases and audiences. youtu.be/eeOANluSqAE?...

Anyone have a great resource for trying out any of the new #MSBuild things from today? The multiple agent demos with GitHub, Figma & Linux containers in @vscode.dev looked really cool.

Great conversation. Much more to it than the headlines.

Did Microsoft Edge 136.0.3240.50 just break css using max-content for width? Fixing our app after a bug was found in only this specific version of Edge, no other browsers. Using max-content is causing the container widths to be shrunk like they got stuck in a trash compactor on the Death Star.

Warren Buffett spoke at my school and gave this piece of wisdom that I think about often. It's lucky to be lucky, and it's even luckier to recognize how lucky you are.

This is awesome. Really interested to see if they can succeed in bringing this to market at the planned <$20K price point. www.slate.auto www.theverge.com/electric-car...

Happy PI day to all who celebrate! We did a chocolate coconut, a wild berry and a pecan pie. Don’t forget in 3 months to celebrate Tau Day! It’s twice as good!

Helping a young nephew build his first pc and it sounds like I need to have him look at the new AMD GPUs. They sound great for the price but I have decades of scars from terrible AMD video card drivers that make me hesitant.

After a week of the new benq programming monitor I really like it. I think they could have left off the speakers. They’re bad & everything else looks very nice, even the leatherish cable hook. They could also make the arm taller. It was to short for me to consider using. Monitor is great though.

Old man take - The NFL would be much more enjoyable if it wasn’t a quarterback league.

Just started working on the BenQ monitor. Love the ux and craftsmanship on it. Display is beautiful & much more enjoyable to code/read than my Dell monitors (which I really liked until today). Very nice blacks.

From a large enough distance, every application looks like a CRUD application. If the developers think it's a CRUD application, it tells you how far away from the users/problems they are sitting.

There are so many things I dislike about Windows 11… But whoever added the crop & lock feature to PowerToys, you deserve one very amazing coffee! This is so useful for locking a screenshot in smaller screens & bigger ones too. Awesome UX!

Just ordered the BenQ 32” programming monitor. Have been looking at the models for over a year. Hoping it’s as awesome as it looks. It’ll be used in a 3 monitor setup as the main one for text.

What was the wave by Nailor? I need a movie & music culture expert to help me keep up with the Vikings celebrations

I just put myself in .NET generics hell. Send help

I made a bunch of new songs, cartoons, and blog posts this year. Here is a thread of some of the ones you all liked best. First up, a helpful guide to fixing open-source.
