WSL + Docker + Aspire = smooth .NET cloud-native dev on Windows. Sharing how I set it up and why it’s made local development way easier.

Harnessing WSL for Modern .NET Development with VS Code, Docker, and Aspire
WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) lets you run a full Linux environment alongside Windows, improving the development experience and making it easy to use Linux-native tools. With Docker installed in WSL and Aspire orchestrating cloud-native .NET apps, you get an excellent cloud-first development setup, everything runs locally but is ready to deploy to the cloud.

I try to sneak in some time on the pumptracks whenever I can. Here's a peek at this morning’s session—still learning and enjoying every bit of it at 54. 😅

For years, I spent my free time riding BMX. Now, at 54, I’ve switched to mountain bikes—but my love for jumps hasn’t faded one bit. Pumptracks? Still an absolute blast!

Dependency injection is like "let's take a statically typed language that's capable of validating object graphs during compilation, and replace that with lazy on-demand object initialization that's going to crash your application if you make a typo".
