Maybe we should add an AddYaml(...) API to #aspire. No particular format, we just feed it into an LLM and if it is well formed it will guess what you wanted it to do, otherwise it would make vague suggestions about where your YAML is malformed.

I have most of my DNS domains hosted on GoDaddy - but the GoDaddy DNS interface is somewhat constrained (apex domains are a problem). So, I'm moving the hosting of the name servers over to Azure.
I'm using @github copilot to translate the exported zone file to a Bicep file build a pipeline. Cool!

Some pretty amazing improvements coming in the next release of #aspire. And it's not all just about .NET, just deployed a Python-based app with a React frontend.
Total time time from `aspire new` to deployed in the cloud? About 10 mins including all the apps dependencies.

You know API design is going well when someone suggests we need an "optional required" mechanism.

The @github.com #copilot CLI is proving itself to be quite a useful tool for challenging automation tasks where writing a deterministic script/program would be next to impossible but with some prompting you can get it to handle a variety of scenarios fairly easily.

I love how on Bluesky the character limit for a post is 300 characters. But if you add an image, you can set alt text with 2000 characters. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. Not quite - but it is worth 2000 characters!

I had a whole bunch of PRs that I had parked pointing downhill that were going to be easy to merge today and @davidfowl.com merged them on me overnight. What am I supposed to do now? Build a new feature on Friday?

Note to future self. When you accidentally CTRL-C pacman -Syyu right in the middle of updating nvidia-open-dkms, remember that trying to replace it with nvidia-dkms is just going to lead to sadness.

I think it would be great to have an easily embeddable low dependency terminal emulation library. I could certainly use it for testing purposes in #aspire.
