There’s been some great improvements on Minimal APIs support for binding complex objects with FromForm. Any planned support for binding arrays like int[] to respect initialization defaults like an empty array instead. #dotnetconf

I love Aspire but #dotnetconf why did aspire jump from 9.x to 13.x?

Odd to see #dotnet Aspire jump from 9.5.2 to 13.0.0… what’s up with that?

This gives me goosebumps every single time I see it.

I could cry that I'm 2025 we still need to listen because too many people still focus on hate of others, rather than helping each other.

Can we get Visual Studio for Mac back? Please?! C# dev kit and Rider miss the mark for me.

Trying to get the Raspberry Pi GPIO & I2C capabilities to work inside a container has been a “fun” exercise that I’m still failing at. If youre reading this and have expertise or an example, hit me up PLZ 😭.

With .NET aspire is there a way to force sub-dependencies of containers to only startup when their parents are started? For example, the Aspire Azure Service Bus container requires azure-sql-edge internally. When I place WithExplicitStart on the ServiceBus resource, the edge container still starts.

I miss when social media (and the internet in general) had content that its creators thought was actually interesting. The trying-to-grab-attention low-effort content just to game algorithms is so tiring.

No slide decks. No status meetings. No “stories.” And somehow, working software (and hardware) still happened.

There’s many days that are stuffed full of joy in my life recently. It reminds me of a quote by Andy Bernard from The Office - “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them”. I wish these good days to never end.

Gatekeeping development behind using AI is the most backward-ass thing I’ve seen in a while. GitHub’s CEO should be ashamed and fired for such a stance. Simply put, software development is for anyone who has a computer and a curiosity to create.
