@citizenmatt.bsky.social how do i remove Junie?

Thrilled to announce nuget.org/packages/JsonSchema.Net.Api v1.2.2! This release adds support for OpenAPI 3.1 generation with full support for request validation via JSON Schema... the same schemas that are in the document! Read the docs: docs.json-everything.net/schema/api-o...

I built an alternative to Microsoft.Sbom.Targets github.com/SimonCropp/S...

BuildMonitor is coming along nicely github.com/SimonCropp/B...

An easy decision this week: our team handily voted to keep and pay the OSMF for @simoncropp.bsky.social's Verify .NET. Verify is a snapshot testing tool/ecosystem and it's great. Here's how it went down: #dotnet #oss #osmf

No. Bullshit. Who was the human at the Pentagon that relied on that faulty data? Who didn't do the sigint or humint to corroborate that? You can't blame ai when the problem exists between keyboard and chair.

I built a build monitor github.com/SimonCropp/B... OS: Windows. Mac. Linux. smoke testing on Linux is a todo Providers: AppVeyor, DevOps, Bitbucket, GH Actions, GitLab CI, GoCD, Jenkins, Octopus, TeamCity, Travis Only smoke tested on AppVeyor, GH Actions, Octopus so far

EfQueryComplexity github.com/SimonCropp/E... Detects overly complex Entity Framework Core queries and either logs them or throws. Each check has two levels: the level a query is logged at, which has defaults, and the level a query throws at, which is opt in.

@matkoch.dev would it be possible to make me a maintainer of github.com/matkoch/jetb... ?

Looking for full-time, remote senior/staff or tech lead level work. TypeScript is my strongest suit, but I'm a flexible polyglot. Boosts for visibility appreciated!

does anyone using Verify need help moving to inline snapshots? i am happy PR to OSS github.com/VerifyTests/...

Scry compared to other query apoproaches github.com/Papyrine/Scr...

Heads up windows 11 users, microsoft now has this setting enabled by default. Be sure to disable it :]

Scry now has a sidcar pane to help with debuggin github.com/Papyrine/Scr...

Watching the OSMF drama on /r/dotnet makes it clear to me that .NET needs a mini-revolution. People defending their labour-theft of using OSS without contributing back because their enterprise firm can't be bothered to do the admin paying for licenses. #dotnet #csharp

What component or feature do you think is still missing from the Blazor ecosystem? Something you wish existed, but nobody has built properly yet. I’m looking for ideas.

Verify now supports inline snapshots github.com/VerifyTests/...

Inline snapshots for Verify github.com/VerifyTests/... ie the snapshot contents is embedded inside the c#/f# test method still beta, but IMO it greatly improves the usability by keeping the snapshot result closer to the code that produces it.

happy CVE day

Morph now also supports rendering Excel and PowerPoint to png/html/md morph.papyrine.org

Has anyone done any market research on the affect of AI usage on open-source projects? Is it a loud minority that would avoid a dependency that uses AI, or is this the overriding opinion?

I put my proposal to move Verify to the Open Source Maintenance Fee on Redit. lets see how this goes www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/com...

@matkoch.dev hope all is going well for u. any change of getting this looked at? github.com/matkoch/jetb...
