GPT-5 is already here, so I can say it now…
This thing is a BEAST for coding with GitHub Copilot + C# 💜

Top 2 for sure!😎( IMHO )

#dotnet #GitHubCopilot #GPT5
Purple background with large white text reading “GPT-5” on the left and “C#” on the right, separated by a red heart symbol. Below, in smaller text, it says “* powered by GitHub Copilot” alongside the GitHub Copilot logo.

Time to test the limits of GPT-5! 🚀
Building a next-gen eShopLite search with NLWeb, .NET 9, and Aspire 9.4 orchestration.
Can Copilot handle this one? 🤔

It’s always a great day when the whole thing works in just 5 lines of code 😎

Adding a local TextToImagePipeline in #TransformersSharp is surprisingly easy and fun!

Prompt: “A pixelated image of a beaver in Canada” 👇
#dotnet #CSharp #AI #HuggingFace #ML
AI-generated pixelated image of a beaver standing on a rock by a lake, surrounded by pine trees and mountains under a cloudy sky. The style is retro and pixel-art inspired, with bold color blocks and reflections in the water. C# code snippet using the TransformersSharp.Pipelines library to create a TextToImagePipeline with the Kandinsky 2.2 decoder model. The prompt is "A pixelated image of a beaver in Canada", and the generated image is saved as "image.png". The code is clean, concise, and fits within 5 lines.

😀 .NET Aspire running on Azure App Services is one of the top community asks!

🏪 eShopLite with Store & Products as App Services, Semantic Search with Azure AI Foundry.

🔗Repo github.com/Azure-Sample...

#AppService #dotnet #Aspire #Azure
Screenshot of the Azure Portal displaying a resource group named "rg-eshoplite-appservice" with two App Services highlighted: "products-deetteqwirfwy" labeled as "Backend (Products)" and "store-deetteqwirfwy" labeled as "Frontend (Store)." The image includes a bold header reading ".NET Aspire on Azure App Services 🚀" and a footer stating "No Containers • All on App Service • Search ready!" with a .NET logo. The visual emphasizes the deployment of a .NET Aspire solution on Azure App Services without using containers.

Wait... Notepad has bold text?
And now it saves as Markdown?
What year is it and why do I love this??
#DevLife #MarkdownMadness #WindowsPower
A screenshot of Windows Notepad showing a markdown-formatted document titled "Instructions," with bullet points describing how to update a game to support AI mode. A pop-up dialog is visible in front of the text, prompting the user to "Save as Markdown to keep formatting," with buttons to save as a Markdown file, plain text, or cancel.

#WorkFromHome
peaceful evening scene showing a backyard pool with string lights glowing along a garden fence. The sky is a deep blue at dusk, and a line of evenly spaced bright dots—likely Starlink satellites—stretches across the sky. Trees surround the yard, and the pool reflects the lights and foliage, creating a serene, cozy atmosphere.

US holiday = time to catch up from #MSBuild!

Morning:
1️⃣ Copilot Coding Agent upgraded the .NET Generative AI demos to Microsoft.Extensions.AI 9.5.0
2️⃣ I updated eShopLite MCP to use Aspire 9.3 + Azure AI Foundry SDK

Bonus: Copilot now explains Aspire traces like magic ✨🤖

#dotnet #GitHubCopilot #AI
Screenshot of the .NET Aspire dashboard showing a distributed trace of a GET /search request in an eShop application. On the right side, GitHub Copilot explains the trace with a breakdown of the error: a connection error when trying to fetch a token from Azure Instance Metadata Service. The interface highlights the trace duration, spans, and resource usage, with Copilot providing a natural language summary of the error’s cause and impact. Screenshot of a GitHub pull request titled “Update Microsoft.Extensions.AI to version 9.5.0.” The PR includes updates to documentation files and project files (.csproj) to use the latest version of several Microsoft.Extensions.AI packages, such as OpenAI, AzureAIInference, and Ollama. The comment section shows the Copilot AI suggesting the update. The PR was merged by elbruno.
