New blog post: "Escaping the LLM Coding Rat Race"
There's only one winner in the AI coding rat race: your inference provider.
There is no permanent underclass. There is no
"falling behind."
It's brilliant marketing and it's ruining our lives.

@pierceboggan do you have any plans to make sharing skills, agents, prompts easier for teams working across lots of repositories?
Some great #dotnet skills in this repository 🙌
Hi @EmiratesSupport I'm trying to send a compliment through for a flight I took last Friday (first leg of a return flight). But your website says that my flight hasn't departed yet...I had a really standout experience with your Manchester check-in crew I want to share

I like this take by @KentBeck on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important
ALT So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts has just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet two years ago where I said "90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up 1000x". And this is exactly what I'm talking about - having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now compared to knowing where to put the amperands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. — Kent Beck, interview with Gergely Orosz
Both of these extremes suck
Kill your ego, even if it hurts.

@davidfowl is there a better way to do the bits highlighted in yellow? this was the best I could come up with (it works and is turned into valid bicep), but feels incredibly awkward and is one renaming away from not working...

Lots of reliability fixes and new features!

Yes 💯 Devs find it hard to break the habit...a bit like SCRUM all these abstractions make people feel safe

Had a customer just demo an @AkkaDotNET -Streams based application responsible for migrating 1 trillion+ SQL rows from one instance to another - "works great!"
The streams code itself was like, maybe 25 lines
My personal brand at $currentJob is asking the question, "what's the point [of doing x]?"
Do you bristle when someone advises you to build a "personal brand"?
Look, you don't have to create a meme coin or hand out stickers with your face on it. No psycho stuff.
But there's value in authentically sharing more in public.

#akkanet and Microsoft #orleans, a good fit for Programmable Voice? In the post I cover some of basics of using these two Actor frameworks to control Azure Communication Services voice calls
#dotnet #azure #programmablevoice

Well...that was interesting @Aaronontheweb
I managed to get the FSM actor working, like I said in the previous thread the syntax and programming model is awkward...but it worked.
I then took a look at using a ReceivingActor, I liked how the Receive method was type safe...
Tomorrow I'm going to take #akkanet for a spin, been waiting ages for a decent use case and now have one. Last week I built a state machine system for controlling #azurecommsservice phone calls, going to try and replicate it with Actors instead of state machines @Aaronontheweb
it was obvious how to integrate with Aspnet/minimal APIs. However the way Grains are written and the "state" i.e. I'm in the state WaitingForResponse or xyz wasn't as neatly expressed, i.e. Become was much nicer here compared to Orleans
