Holy cr*p, I never had so much fun learning before #GitHubCopilotCLI. I no longer have to start with tutorials and docs that end up confusing me with either too much or not enough detail. Instead I just fire up the CLI and ask it to create a custom tutorial and demo with exactly what I want.

Some of you know part of my day job at Microsoft is furthering the @armdeveloper.bsky.social ecosystem and I'm privileged to be able to do more of that as an Arm ambassador.

Can I be both humbled and proud at once? Thanks, Arm!

.NET STS releases are 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!

@RickStrahl - probably old news for you but thought I'd share just in case - SQL Server 2025 CTP removes the installer block on Arm. Download the x64 and choose the basic install, it will install the x64 version without frills. This runs fine under emulation.

My favorite was when a customer came by our booth with a query about something and I was able to tell them yes, what they needed was available, and here’s a blog post on that very subject.

My kids had a favorite moment too - when I bought the bag of swag home and they got to pick.
