I am using git worktree for years, and used only 3 till now 🤔 2 for development, and 1 for the reviews. I liked the idea of @captainsafia.com to use worktree in place of branches. So, I had a look into her grove tool, very nice 🤩 and started to port it to .NET 10 AOT going from 108 MB to 5.73 MB 😍

I’m looking to enhance the speaking section of my blog by adding some missing content. To make it happen, I started using GitHub Spark to code a tool that scrapes websites. The results were impressive in just about 10 minutes, and the wildest part is I don’t even need to run it on my own machine.

Great Job @philco.bsky.social ! Looks awesome 🤩
The new site that @philco.bsky.social has been working on is a work of art.
It's lightweight, fast, and beautiful. Also, did I mention that there's no JavaScript?
Check out MyLittleContentEngine if you need something similar for your open source .NET project.
