I'm a .NET boomer. Opening .NET Conf 2025 with Scott Hanselman and Scott Guthrie talking about the creation of .NET MVC brings back great memories. It was so nice to work with over WebForms.

When AI fails (not if) to deliver on the promise of replacing programmers, companies are going to be in a bad place with seniors burning out or retiring and there aren't going to be enough juniors in the pipeline.

I’ve been experimenting with Gemini CLI and Laravel Boost for about 2 weeks now, and honestly, it’s gone way better than I expected.
It’s been great at spinning up basic CRUD features quickly, applying existing layouts/styles to new features, and only leaving me with small HTML/CSS tweaks.

I kept hearing good things about The Wheel of Time. How badly did a mess up by reading New Spring first?

Vibe coding an app is one thing but then vibe coding unit tests for it is peak absurdity. Sure the tests turn green but how do you know they are actually testing anything?

Ever since I started my SWE career writing .NET in 2004 I always wanted to work for a big company like Microsoft. As the years passed that appeal faded. I saw that working for a company that values you as more than an expense on a spreadsheet was worth a lot!

I don't like committing incomplete code to a feature branch.
I have a project that I only work on a couple of hours once a week. I will commit this code regardless.
I've been bite by a failed hard drive before and just don't want to risk it.

Make this make sense! Using WiX 3.11, grabbing an integer value with RegistrySearch and then writing it to a RegistryValue with Type="integer" writes that value as a string (REG_SZ). Changing the type to string will write the value as an integer (REG_DWORD).
