A week later, the migrated .NET 10 code is running in prod. I fixed a few issues today but it's working quite nicely so far! That leaves two remaining projects to migrate.

The November update to MCP spec is good news for auth, since CIMD is easier to implement than DCR. But Entra ID remains annoying since it doesn't support either. I also haven't seen a CIMD proxy yet for it and I don't want to build one 😭 DCR through APIM is possible but janky.

I've set up Aspire for my MCP demo course and it's really slick. I don't have it deploying anything but even just being able to do "aspire run" and a nice way for people to input secrets/parameters is huge. Plus I can automatically fill in stuff like the service endpoints (or use service discovery).

I spent most of the day seeing what I can do to tweak test run timing. Upgrading from net472 to net10 has basically cut run time in a third from 9mins to 6mins. It's tough to get below that now since majority of tests are integration and rely on embedded DB that gets recreated fresh every test.

I'm teaching context engineering, so I built a demo. Simple MCP server (~400 lines TypeScript):
• Store notes locally
• Search by relevance
• Compress to fit a character budget
Run it in VS Code with Copilot. Clone it, break it, learn from it.

I used the new Copilot Modernization agent last night to upgrade one of my projects from net framework 472 to net10. By the end of the night, it fixed 150+ errors and built successfully. I'm at the validation stage now and there's stuff I have to do, but it took care of LOTS of tedious stuff.

Hey Apple, I know you haven't really innovated for like 20 years or whatever but here's a thought: the iPod. Bring it back. For kids and teens. It's really needed. Until then I guess I'll use my Zune or an old iPhone.

Internet has a short memory. I mean I get it, 'JS as a backend = bad' is fun to say. But every backend is vulnerable to insecure deserialization attacks. Remember log4shell (Java)? JSON.NET TypeNameHandling? Just search for "<your backend> RCE CVE" and see what comes up 😭 SecOps humbles you.

Holidays are coming up. If you want to make something different, yet still restaurant-quality, then I recommend Farrah's Butter Chicken (Mahkani). There's a YouTube recipe but I wrote it up to add to our recipe manager.
It's incredible and scales easily.
