Woot! Wolverine passed 2 million downloads on Nuget today.
I was admittedly frustrated about how long it took to hit the 1M milestone, but the adoption has trended up a lot this year and we're doing well now.

I've always thought that best way to learn was by doing. So I think I'm going to build some small stupid application that really allows me to understand the tradeoffs of different embedding choices. Something anchored in my own personal experience. Now to think about what that will be.

the #dotnet SDK for building MCP servers has been a dream. Integrates nicely with ASP.Net and I was able to easily deploy and get it tested with the MCP Inspector including Authentication. Now to figure out a bit of Authorization and more tool support. :D

The next.js middleware story is pretty terrible. Specifically I don't like that there is only one. I also don't like that their isn't a way to add metadata to a route to help me filter things out.

I'm appreciating the effort I've been putting into my prompt work for LLM's is transferring to my work with "fiverr" teams. It's funny how improving your ability to ask for what you want gets you better results either way.

Is there any commentary about AI eventually working better with a strongly typed language? The idea being that there is more "meta data" available for the AI to make decisions with?

The org has spent around $50k of dev time to save on a $5k software license.
And that's not even counting the opportunity cost of the other things that could have been worked on.
The hidden costs of "how hard could it be".

I’ve heard from an extremely reliable source that the entire National Center for Education Statistics is **gone**
New — Absolute bloodbath at US Dept. of Education in light of today’s Reduction in Force (RIF) announcement.
Hearing from department sources that offices in Dallas, Boston, New York, SF, Philly and Cleveland have all been shut down. Some staff in remaining offices fired, too.
