Omggggggggggggggg

Been drilling this into the teams that I have spoken to about adopting agents into their dev flow. This is why it *WILL* feel like a regression at first, especially if you are experienced.

"Copilot doesn't work with #WinForms." Yeah? - Watch me prove you wrong. 🧵 Robert Green and I used the WinForms Expert Agent in #VisualStudio and also #Copilot CLI to build a live WinForms EF Core 10 client for some old, old SQL Database on Visual Studio Toolbox - including one unscripted feature we genuinely didn't think would work. ALFKI is back. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=YgP1ZJj6…

After months of hard work, Evergine 2026 is here! New #Cesium add-on for planetary scale 3D, new #AI Rendering inside Evergine Studio, #Avalonia support and #NET10. Still free, no registration, no telemetry. Huge thanks to the team behind it. evergine.com/evergine-2026-m…

That's why I built waza — a Go CLI that benchmarks agent skills with A/B baselines, pairwise judging, and auto discovery. Scores, not gut feeling. github.com/microsoft/waza

TIM SAYS GO WATCH THIS!!!!

Ok, go watch this. It's a really cool/quick way to interactively see what the agent is doing under the hood, tokens per turn, etc. -- in real-time. One simple @aspiredotdev CLI command! #otel youtu.be/JsZ3q8OKsMM?si=_q2R…

thank you @code @JamesMontemagno for letting me crash the channel and show off some of the crazy stuff @JamesNK made work with the @aspiredotdev dashboard!!! 💫💖

💃I'm back to building developer tools! Please help me better understand your siiick dev setups with coding agents or your frictions/pains by completing this 3-5min survey: forms.gle/gdn6vNCRpWfwFfSL9.

I made a thing... Introducing copilotd, a daemon for @GitHubCopilot CLI that dispatches remote-enabled sessions based on GitHub issues via configurable rules. youtu.be/zT6N_l12ofU?si=bWd-… Check it out at copilotd.damianedwards.dev

We got C# and TS, but Python, Go, Java, Rust are more are coming! #aspiredev @aspiredotdev

Dear politicians, no matter how many texts you send, I will never make a donation based on getting an SMS message. Never. Ever. Best, Alex

📣 After nearly 5 fulfilling years leading Core infrastructure organizations for Google, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve taken on a new role! I’m going back to IC work as a Distinguished Engineer- my new role is in Chrome as Area Tech Lead, AI Web Ecosystem! 💥 The rise of AI is driving a fundamental sea change in web architecture. While this era promises immense innovation, it demands rigorous focus on security, privacy, and user observability. AI is a technology. It must be integrated with the same deliberate care as the major technological shifts that preceded it. In this new role, I’ll be working alongside world-class colleagues to redefine the web platform for an AI-first runtime. My mission is to architect a composable web that enables safe, standardized, and mutually beneficial interactions between creators, users, and AI agents. With this transition, I am moving from leading large organizations back to the IC track. I’ve swung this "managerial pendulum" several times in my career, and I’m energized to return to deep technical work at a moment that so clearly demands it. I'm also excited to be working with/for web legends like @laparisa @jimbankoski @paul_irish @RickByers @Paul_Kinlan @groby @mathias @bmeurer @fractorious and so many more! 💥

Hey I love dumping on my company as much as the next guy, because Microsoft does some dumb stuff, but sometimes it's just check emails and verify your accounts. Not every "WTF micro$oft" moment is a slam dunk. I've emailed VeraCrypt personally and we'll get him unblocked. I've already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it's literally paperwork.

Most I’ve ever talked about latency budgets in a pub 😂thanks for having me @collision and @eladgil :) Cheeky Pint out tomorrow!

i am once again staring at a 1000 line @aspiredotdev "whats new" file and wondering why the hell we keep doing this to ourselves

live look at me and @BethMassi getting ready for #aspireconf monday

At Visual Studio Live in Vegas. Good to be back talking with developers in person. Best feedback always comes from these conversations. If you’re here, come say hi. #VSLive #VisualStudio
