@captainsafia.com I've discovered your blog recently and I love reading your articles, especially the ones about Aspire. Great job.
It seems Aspire is starting to overlap with some tools like Nuke, Cake, or Pulumi. I was wondering, is the plan to integrate with them or be an alternative to them?

After getting used to Swagger UI, using Scalar as the OpenAPI UI feels like a fresh breath of air.
Anyway, I'm still using mostly http files in my IDE or Bruno to send my requests, but it's always nice to see something different.

I've been trying to use GitHub Copilot Modernize feature to upgrade my application to .NET 10. The plan is nice, but the execution it depends, it can take time and make some format (or worse) issues in your csproj.
Setting TargetFramework in Directory.Build.props would have help me. #dotnet

So few followers, it seems developers did not realize Aspire is on Bluesky. Developers make this number up. I'm sure we can reach 1000 followers by the end of the week.

Started using GitHub Copilot to update Azure DevOps work items — not for laziness, but for flow.
When I’m deep in design, I stay in my IDE. Copilot + MCP Server = context, updates, no tab-switching.
What felt like a gimmick is now part of my daily dev stack. Not perfect, but powerful.

Just announced and already in GitHub Copilot in preview. Hello
Claude Haiku 4.5.
Smaller model but supposed to be almost as good as bigger ones to code. Looks fast and cost one-third of Claude Sonnet 4.5. Interesting model to test.

Brainstorming with GitHub Copilot CLI and the relevant MCP Server (in this context Microsoft Docs MCP) can be very useful. Generating code is far from being the only usage of using AI in IT.

You don't realize how great .NET Core is until you find yourself having to work with .NET Framework again.
I have no doubt that you can do great things with the .NET Framework, but .NET Core makes your life easier and encourages you to do things right.

@den.dev a GitHub Spec Kit question for you 👉 is constitution file a good place to tell AI to use specific MCP servers for some tasks. I have trouble sometimes to know if things should go in the constitution or be asked in the /plan.

💬 Unpopular opinion: most CLIs should have an option to output command results as JSON (or other structured format). It would make things so easy to query (using Nushell, PowerShell, jq, etc).
🔧 Some CLIs do, azure cli for instance, but many don't bother.
