Watch Claude recreate a production UI view from a screenshot, inspecting properties, comparing outputs, and iterating until it's pixel-perfect.
This is what agentic development looks like:

In this post I describe some of the complexities around authoring .NET tools, specifically around supporting multiple .NET runtimes and testing in CI

As I work on Resharper performance, I learn about limitations of .NET (at least, .NET Framework) that I wasn't aware of. Here, I shaved 1 second of CPU time on startup by... removing a call to Array.Empty<T>.

A great turnout for #StandUpForScience2025 in Seattle. About 2000 people showed under partly sunny skies, with appearances by Gov. Ferguson and a bald eagle flyover! Plus lots of great signs. 🧪

Isn't it nice living in a world where the de facto hard drive diagnostic tool for WIndows, CrystalDiskInfo, comes in four different editions - which are identical other than featuring a different anime character as the background to the main window?

I published part 5 of my "Writing a .NET profiler in C#" series. All the foundations built in the previous articles have been moved to a library named Silhouette. In this new article, we finally have everything we need to write an actual profiler.

Finally had time over the holidays to realize a long-standing dream of mine: a hex editor that knows about the PE file and .NET metadata format. You can click any byte and it will show you which data structure it is in the tree. Every byte is covered.
The parser is at github.com/KirillOsenko...

Did you know that you can define a DebuggerDisplayAttribute for a type from another assembly? Just add an assembly-level attribute to your code and specify the Target type:
[assembly: DebuggerDisplay(@"\{Color = {Color}}", Target = typeof(Pen))]
[assembly: DebuggerDisplay(@"\{Color = {Color}}", Target = typeof(Pen))]
