For years we've been told efficiency is everything ⚡ But what if human enjoyment was treated as a design principle too? Sakib Jalil shows us at #DDDAdelaide 2025 how to design products, services, and workplaces that deliver both 🎯✨ Efficiency gets things done, enjoyment makes us value them 💡

.NET Conf 2025 kicks off in around 5 hours. Hopefully I'll be fast asleep, but will watch the recordings tomorrow 😀.
I have a talk on Aspire that's going out on Friday (though it's already out of date as Aspire updates so quickly). Concepts are the same, just APIs have changed.

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, and this one matters. Ever wished you could run multiple agents in parallel without wrecking your repo? I break down how Git worktrees + Copilot CLI make that happen for me.

Hey #dotnet, would you like it if #msbuild (and dotnet build, etc) natively integrated with your CI/CD pipelines for integrated warning/error reporting and such? I've vibe-coded some stuff here that might be interesting to folks: github.com/dotnet/msbui...

Still on iOS 18.7.1 as I'd heard a lot of grumbling about 26. Noticed 26.1 is out but wow - 11.5GB! That sounds more like a desktop than a mobile OS.
Still on the fence as to whether I hit 'update' though.

Went to a wedding in Kuitpo Forest today. It was cold, but thankfully the heavy rain kept away until after the ceremony. Weather in November can be unpredictable - only on Saturday it was a bright and sunny 25 and I was applying sunscreen!
A beautiful setting.

Great for the garden and farmers, but less so for friends of ours who are getting married later today outdoors in Kuitpo Forrest.👰🤵
Looking forward to attending their wedding, but it may be a challenging day to be dressed up 🙂☔☂️

Follow up to the "lost PVC storm water elbow" post from earlier.
Had to go back to the hardware shop for some more supplies and thought I'd ask at the information desk if anyone had handed in anything. Long shot but no.

Hey does anybody here have a recording of the Simpsons episode ‘Bart’s Inner Child’ recorded off Australia’s Channel 10 with the ad breaks?

Well this is weird. I went to the hardware store today to get a few things including some extra 90mm PVC storm water elbows.
But now I'm home I can't find them anywhere! I'm sure I put them in the car from the shopping trolley, as I actually returned the trolley back inside the store.
A mystery!
