Professional software developer. Guitarist and pretend musician. You can expect me to post about Visual Studio, VSCode, C#, .NET, TypeScript, React, Avalonia, Raspberry PI, Azure, Kubernetes and more.
There's also support for indexing ReadOnlyMemory and some memory and performance improvements.

The documentation has been updated, and I'll be blogging about some of the new features over the next few days, starting today: www.goatly.net/post/2025/11...

I can't cite the source, this was like 30 years ago. But I recall an artificial intelligence researcher coming up with "the cuckoo problem". The real danger to humanity wouldn't be a genuinely self aware machine mind that could be our equal or better. It would be a non-sentient cuckoo contraption. 🧵

Thanks Barry, so if I'm following along, for container builds we'd need to know the base sdk/runtime images have been updated? Any idea if/when that'll happen?

The movie analogy works well - I've compared LLM output to the uncanny valley effect we saw when movies couldn't quite make CGI "real" enough

Jerry, no. Scream a thousand screen readers. (I have no idea how they treat that)

Flashback... I think I remember this from the BBC Micro at my school - what was it called?

Yeah, they're epic!

Yes! This was my immediate thought when I read it on BBC news. AI didn't "do" anything, the scientists using machine learning techniques did.
