Today’s double coaching calls focused primarily on AI agents and what they’re capable of with new projects. We built a todo app and a dice roller app with #dotnet and #htmx using #copilot and #claude.
We used #vscode as well as #visualstudio
The results were overall impressive!

More AI stuff in another @devbetter.com session this afternoon.
We continued building out the dice roller. Tried #visualstudio instead of VS Code for a bit, still using GitHub Copilot Chat in Agent mode. Still Claude Sonnet 4. But it was terrible. Kept deleting most of the file it was "fixing"

Steve is talking about one of his @devbetter.com conversations and the question of modeling multi-tenancy.
This thread talks through pros and cons of various options.
Did he miss any options? How are you doing multi-tenancy in Azure?

How can you model multi-tenancy in #Azure (a topic today in my devBetter.com coaching).
There's a continuum or spectrum of options here with trade-offs as you go. Let's look at them real quick, starting with the simplest.

Stop listening to those who say you can’t write good code in JavaScript. Let’s look at Javascript and TypeScript in a positive way instead, because JS/TS is actually really good!

Had a few good mentoring calls with teams today.
In one they asked, why I would prefer individual use case handlers over coarse grained services. This is something I’ve really leaned into in recent years.
There are many reasons but probably the biggest one is around cross cutting concerns.
