So few followers, it seems developers did not realize Aspire is on Bluesky. Developers make this number up. I'm sure we can reach 1000 followers by the end of the week.

Share for more reach!

@lostinbrittany.bsky.social Your talk at @bdxio.bsky.social was awesome!It really resonated with me. I can't wait for the series of articles, I've seen you write the first one. Any RSS feed I could subscribe to for lostinbrittany.dev?

Yes exactly for the buttons. On mobile browser.

Started using GitHub Copilot to update Azure DevOps work items — not for laziness, but for flow.

When I’m deep in design, I stay in my IDE. Copilot + MCP Server = context, updates, no tab-switching.

What felt like a gimmick is now part of my daily dev stack. Not perfect, but powerful.

Just announced and already in GitHub Copilot in preview. Hello
Claude Haiku 4.5.

Smaller model but supposed to be almost as good as bigger ones to code. Looks fast and cost one-third of Claude Sonnet 4.5. Interesting model to test.

Brainstorming with GitHub Copilot CLI and the relevant MCP Server (in this context Microsoft Docs MCP) can be very useful. Generating code is far from being the only usage of using AI in IT.

Here is mine. I did not configure anything special for ls, that's just how nushell works.

I love this new #GitHubCopilot update for JetBrains IDEs.
Next Edit Suggestion was something I had been waiting for for a long time.

I'm writing more and more of "How to" notes.
Current one: How to customize your shell prompt?

Taking notes:

📆 Before ➡️ Bookmark blog posts, videos and documentation pages about some tech, eventually write a few bullet points and a code sample

🕰️Now ➡️ Write my current understanding of something, the usage I have of it, my choices, and the why

💭 Tomorrow ➡️ Keep learning, improve my notes

At a time when everyone swears by their favorite AI, when many no longer see the point in writing blog posts, I take notes... Notes as I go along, on just about everything, what I learn, the tools I use (why, how, alternatives). Will it be useful? We'll see.

Pour les Bordelais·es dans la tech, laissez-moi vous introduire la grappe numérique qui regroupe une trentaine de communautés du numérique bordelais.

Elle vient de lancer sa page LinkedIn pour regrouper les communications autour du numérique à Bordeaux, n'hésitez pas à la suivre. dripl.ink/4hCQC

Small but nice addition coming to .NET 10: the ability to run a standalone C# file without project file. Very handy for demos, quick experimentations and new learners.

😃 L'audience de mon blog n'est pas que française, ni même majoritairement française.

En revanche j'avais prévu de faire des vidéos en français sur YouTube (www.youtube.com/@techwatchin...) mais je me suis arrêté à 1 vidéo il y a 6 mois 😁. Faut que je retrouve le temps et la motivation.

The conference data is made publicly available in JSON 💖.

💡 It was the perfect opportunity for me to experiment with GitHub Copilot Agent mode to build a small website in Nuxt.js.

So that's what I did:

Every year, for my daughter's birthday, we make a cake in the shape of an animal. This year it was a butterfly in several colors. I wonder if my interest in bluesky has had an unconscious impact on this cake. Some may also recognize some colors from Microsoft Windows

I've made a small update to my website: I removed twitter from my social network links, and I added the MVP badge 😀

Sometimes, instead of doing things manually, I remember that with @nushell.bsky.social things can be done easily.

I wanted to make a Linkedin carousel to encourage people to come to my hands-on-lab about Pulumi next week. I generated a PDF with slidev, just by using bolt.new. Funny experiment 😉
