By day an Airline Captain flying Airbus A320's around Europe. When not flying I'm a freelance .NET developer working mostly in Mobile with MAUI and IoT. Love 3D design and printing and anything aviation. International Speaker and MS MVP for 5 years.

The day has flown by, so it's fitting we're discovering if CoPilot can be an airline co-pilot fit to sit alongside @cliffordagius.bsky.social.

Looking forward to this one!

Picture the scene.

You’ve released your #dotnetMAUI app, only to discover that users are encountering issues.

But what’s going wrong?!

@mallibone.com will help you find out, in both debug and production, with his talk at #MAUIDay.

Anyone else having issues with @visualstudio.bsky.social and Dotnet #MAUI after the Net9 release? Both my laptop and desktop machines can no long run existing projects that were Net8 and I can't even get a dotnet new MAUI project to build. Looking for solutions before I throw computers out.

It feels like a “hunting with dogs” moment.

As models improve, I can find them useful for ideation. When working on Brighter (www.goparamore.io) I can find it valuable to brainstorm with ChatGPT.
