Our CEO 'built' a stunning Avalonia app, between emails, meetings and other boring tasks.

He used Claude Code, Stitch and the Avalonia DevTools MCP server to build something that looks 10x better than the existing samples.

Here's how: avaloniaui.net/blog/accele...

hackers took over Notepad++ update servers and distributed a malicious update for the app. The update servers were vulnerable for roughly six months 😬 www.theverge.com/tech/872462/...
Notepad++ updates got hijacked for months and could have spied for China
The hack was resolved in a December update.

Twee derde van de overheden, scholen, vitale bedrijven en zorginstellingen gebruikt Amerikaanse clouddiensten, blijkt uit data-onderzoek van de NOS. De bezwaren daartegen nemen toe.

The more I have AI agents write all my code, the more I feel that us devs will be alright (and possibly more in-demand for important stuff)

Hard for me to imagine anyone building *reliable* software without an understanding of how to do this (either via experience or study)

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.

I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

If you are designing an API with a coding agent it really helps to get it to a point where the coding agent can deeply inspect the internal state of the algorithm to help debug complex issues.

My kid had to learn the square roots up to 20 for a school test.

Her teacher mentioned she would ask her own kid questions throughout the day to help it memorize them. That gave me the idea to build an app that would do exactly that.

I believe ChatGPT is on the same trajectory as Slack in the enterprise. While it has the best user experience, the fact both Copilot & Gemini are deeply integrated into their respective product suites will trump user experience.

I also expect OpenAI to similarly complain to regulators at some point

JetBrains rewrote dotMemory & dotTrace with Avalonia!

From WPF to cross-platform - now their profilers run natively on Mac & Linux.

Even JetBrains knows Avalonia is the future of .NET desktop development.
