ADRs don't fail because they are bad, they fail because no one reads them. The solution? Make AI read them.
In my latest post I describe an MCP Server to feed your architectural decisions into Copilot and I think it's pretty nifty:

Level up local-first, cloud-ready dev with #Aspire + #Dapr. I built a small chat app to show how Aspire’s #AppHost orchestrates #services and #emulators in one command, while Dapr sidecars add pub/sub and state so you can swap Redis/Azurite for cloud services without code changes.

Happy to share I finished my demo app for an upcoming conference talk. It's .NET #Aspire with #dapr running a distributed (event-driven maybe) chat server, and obviously a front-end that allows you to actually chat. Runs locally, planning cloud deployment sometime soon: github.com/nikneem/aspi...

Doesn't is make sense to -When you use .NET Aspire and Azure Table Storage- to also create the tables, storage containers etc. in the Aspire host? @davidfowl.com @damianedwards.com
I think this is infra work, can solve it with createIfNotExists(), but requires my app to have too much privileges.
