Aspire 9.4 is out with lots of new features! The new interaction service looks really nice 🤩 Also being able to add the dashboard to Docker Compose environments looks promising for local observability on edge.

@scott.hanselman.com Azure costs have grown with inflation and service demand, but the $50/month credit for Visual Studio pro subs hasn’t changed in years. Any chance it’s time to revisit that number? For the dev community ❤️ 😉

Seems to be issues with creating custom extensions in Entra External ID at the moment. Anyone know what's up? Validation passes, so I guess it's something internal #microsoft #entra

Testing out the new Aspire 9.3, but chatting with the copilot gives my anti forgery token issues when I try to send messages. Clicking the suggestions works. Known bug? @davidfowl.com

Great thoughts and reflections from @scott.hanselman.com.

We need to continue reading and writing original content, and teach our kids the importance of critical thinking. AI should be a tool for exploring ideas and creativity, not for replacing our thoughts and effort.

New post up 💥

Use Event Grid to extend functionality in Azure by reacting to resource events.

Enhancing observability by monitoring config changes and highlighting them in App Insights is one of the things that are possible with the power of the Event Grid.

Spent a couple of days last week battling with some cert issues in .NET 9. Seems like there is a bug in the loader.

WSL with only .NET 8 installed works as expected.

In the latest episode of "Scott and Mark learn to", @scott.hanselman.com gave a useful tip to think about what you want to communicate before even starting on your talk. I wish I had heard that before my latest post, but I guess my point is, don't over-engineer😄🤹

New small blog post on retrieving ADF pipeline status via the management API from Azure. Docs stated that it only supported implicit flow, but got it working with client_credentials flow which was nice since I was developing a backend integration.
