📢 Announcement: I’ve decided to pause and take a break from work to spend some much needed time with family.
I’ll try to get back to blogging and (virtual) speaking this year, now that I’ll have some free time to pursue my passions.
Stay tuned for more info! :)

The GitHub Copilot app is now generally available — kick off tasks with Copilot’s agent-first app and jump into Visual Studio when it’s time to dive deep on the code.
Start here ➡️gh.io/app-ga
The @github Copilot app is now generally available. Hand off from agent powered flows in the app to full coding in @code without losing context or the conversation.

Making good progress on the Copilot Mission Control app! 🚀
- Insights into everything going on as Copilot CLI works - Time travel to review turns
- History screen to analyze information
- New Mission Analytics Chat feature - I'm excited about this one! 🎉
The chat feature uses the Copilot SDK to chat about Copilot CLI usage, discover areas that can be improved with prompts, your skills, agents, and more.
A work in progress but it's coming along nicely!

May have to rename your game on Xbox!
"POSITRON": Xbox MAY be working on a disc-to-digital program for gamers in the ecosystem, enabling digital entitlements like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Play Anywhere.
Given that now even PlayStation is 85% digital, the likelihood that next-gen goes all-digital is pretty high.
Also, Microsoft has a new Xbox Game Pass tierset in the works, specifically for China.

I built a free Clean Architecture template.
And now I've made it even better by adding Aspire.
More than 40,000+ developers have already downloaded it.
Here's what's inside:
- Simple domain model
- Domain Events pattern
- CQRS + clean use cases
- Validation and logging
- Authentication with JWT
- Boilerplate for RBAC Authz
- Minimal APIs, health checks
- Run locally with Aspire in seconds
I also made sure not to use any commercial libraries.

"The best C# course I ever had!"
As a content creator, there's nothing more that I could ask for.
I put a lot of effort into this Getting Started course and the Deep Dive one that follows it.
Very happy to hear this kind of feedback! It's awesome to get people started off on their programming journey.
P.S. - If you've used any of my courses and found them helpful, please let me know! I'd love to share your testimonial 💪♥️

Blazor lets C# developers write front-end code without touching JavaScript, but do you feel like it's still too niche of an option?

Friday question: What issue with Visual Studio 2026 did you run into this week, that would make you happy to see fixed?

I'm learning C# at my new job, really verbose and with some quirks but it is a really good piece of software
IT'S NOT JUST A COMMAND. MICROSOFT SHIPPED SOMETHING WINDOWS DEVELOPERS HAVE NEEDED FOR YEARS
sudo natively, on windows
no more closing your terminal and relaunching as admin just to run one command
it's built into windows 11...written in rust & it actually ships in the os, not as a third-party workaround
the caveat..? it's not a linux sudo port different OS, different permission model...
Some unix scripts won't transfer directly
but for 95% of day-to-day dev tasks, this is the fix windows has needed for years
enable it:
settings → developer features → sudo for windows
→ github.com/microsoft/sudo

There's a really high cost of duplicating code and we're all relearning that everyday with these coding agents. Until they get better at generating reusable code, bugs will run rampant. You can't "abstract it away" with more agents. You just get crappy software....
