It’s .NET 10 day.
Which means you have a year to move your apps off .NET 9 and .NET 8 which will both go out of support in one year.

It sucks that Postman seems to be affected by the AWS outage (?)... I just wanna run requests already stored locally against my own servers, but somehow that appears to require some remote server I don't control. FFS.

When you try to predict about the impact of AI tools on software engineering - a great analogy I heard from @simonwillison.net is to look at the impact of smartphones (+ the amazing cameras they have) on filmmaking.
Noticed that those able to shoot pro films using a smartphone are... pros?

It’s cringe to see successful companies that have nothing to do with AI rebrand themselves as “an AI platform” because they think it will somehow help them.
Workday is a HR platform.
Sure, they added AI features like everyone else but it was never “built with AI at the core”

The reality of offering “unlimited” plans for any service where the provider has costs based on usage.
There will always be users who abuse it in ways the provider doesn’t expect it (at least at first).
For AI, generating tokens costs $$. So “unlimited” is either subsidized or removed:

So why has no startup looked into building an AI agent that attempts to do basic mitigation, making for smoother oncall?

Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel.
Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc
All were worth it!!

It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.
