the best thing .NET Aspire does well is eliminate the insane productivity-killing manual process that every BigCo has for getting their $100m app running locally This talk is about using .NET Aspire to avoid that. Will do YT videos about it in near future too.
This Thursday at 5:30pm I'll be giving a talk at @nhdnug "Is Your Local Dev Environment a Mess? How .NET Aspire Can Help" 🔗in next post

In de tweede aflevering duiken we in de veiligheid van ons stroomnetwerk: hoe makkelijk is dat te hacken, en hoe kwetsbaar zijn we? We spreken erover met experts, hackers (o.a. @SchizoDuckie) en onze minister. De episode is nu overal te beluisteren: https://t.co/j2sl0Fsg4f

Did you check out the new IExceptionHandler in .NET? It's a simplified way to handle exceptions globally. IExceptionHandler is part of the built-in exception handling middleware. You can handle all exceptions or a specific exception. Which also means you can chain handlers.

The built-in "Eventing Framework" issue in dotnet/aspnetcore was closed last night as "not planned." This is a tragedy for the least capable users in our ecosystem, having to resort to *shudder* evaluating mature third party frameworks to do the same thing.

Spent the past few weeks re-designing the website for Phobos, our commercial library for Akka .NET telemetry, and I think it might be the best looking DocFx website on the market:

Made a very short video (<3m) on trying to get the OTEL Collector to work with .NET Aspire, because I wasted several hours trying to make this work this week.

Don’t take it from me: take it from the ChatGPT team explaining how it al works under the hood It’s not a fellow human, even though it can generate text much better than any other machine learning approaches. https://t.co/3udkZs5Jcm

For those of us who have not spent the past few years building ChatGPT from the ground up, how does it work? From Evan Morikawa, who leads the Applied engineering team at OpenAI

Incrementalist 1.1 is out and live on NuGet - if you've never heard of it before, it's an OSS dotnet tool for doing incremental builds on really large .NET solutions (monorepos especially) - it leverages git diffs and Roslyn to cover the minimal graph needed to cover changes

Your .NET apps need a reverse proxy. Why? - Secure entry point - Central auth & TLS (termination) - Load balancing - Request aggregation I just dropped a video showing how to build one with YARP in https://t.co/KHFU0SV0FP Core. Check it out: https://t.co/vkP4qLTzYm

I really need to ship Incrementalist 1.1 because it's 10x faster than 1.0 thanks to a contributor migrating the entire eval system to use the MSBuild static graph engine. We've been using it every day in @AkkaDotNET for like 4 months now and works without any issues.
