I've been thinking about your contributions recently. You deserve to be there.

Chapter 3 is drafted. Now that's a hefty boy.

See hashtag, part of the N-E-T framework.

I've been playing with Spectre.Console for nearly a year now, but I'm still impressed with how simple and elegant it can be. This is a WIP screenshot on some hobbyist gamedev content going into my next book.

I found myself channeling Mr. Torgue of the Borderlands series of games last night as I put the finishing touches on chapter 1 of my next book. My central message was "SIDE PROJECTS ARE AMAZING AND AWESOME AND .NET HELPS YOU DO THEM". I daydreamed on the idea and generated these.

Hey @MarkTinderholt , guess what I found at CodeMash! It tragically lacks a signature.

It's a little shocking how far @pluralsight has fallen in such a short period of time.

I'm bringing @thesoccerdev as a dedicated heckler.

I'm really looking forward to presenting at KidzMash for the first time - especially after seeing @AnAccidentalDev get heckled by a little girl last year during his presentation with @DerKatzenbar (that will never get old for me).

Dense captioning is still so darn cool to me.

It begins again. Bringing out the squirrel simulation to teach Reinforcement Learning to the kiddos. This time around it's in Blazor. Expect graphics in the future, but for now, simple shapes are fine.

Merry Christmas!

I've been working in @AvaloniaUI over the weekend on building out a cross-platform desktop app for my digital dungeon master AI agent I've been working on. It's coming along. Also, I'm very amused at the copilot-generated sample interaction I've been using for UI design.

Hey @MarkTinderholt you'll never guess what got gifted at the @LeadingEDJE holiday party!

Well, that's a pretty lousy thing to say on a Thursday.

Heather and I got to help with this this year. It was super fun to shop for a little girl and help a family.

I played my second D&D adventure in a work campaign. I managed to get through 5 combats without successfully hitting anyone or being hit with a +5 to hit on Eldrich Blast. The only actual impact I made was blasting a swarm of rats backwards down a tunnel. I still had much fun.

My second article in this series is now out.

Kudos to @rfornal for 8 years at @LeadingEDJE !

I've been tinkering around with AI Orchestration and LLMs to help facilitate a solo D&D campaign in an alien world setting. Tools involved are Semantic Kernel, C#, MidJourney, Azure OpenAI, and D&D Beyond with Obsidian to record my journey. It's a lot of fun.
