The Shade Tree Developer

I was giving a version of the workshop on CQRS and Event Sourcing to a JasperFx client today (because that’s something that we do if you’re interested!).

Right now things are a bit of a blur just because of the high rate of incoming GitHub traffic we get for the Critter Stack, with Wolverine being the most common recipient of new issues, community pull requests, and JasperFx client requests.

As an experienced software developer and the owner of a software tooling company I’d really like to continue to grow, I’m fully embracing the central role that AI assisted development now takes.

I worked with my Dad’s construction crew in High School and college.

Several years ago when I was interviewing at Calavista, my future colleagues asked me what I was most proud of in my career.

Critter Stack Roundup: Two Weeks, Six Repositories, and an EF Core Sweep It’s been a busy couple of weeks across the Critter Stack.

I write these posts purposely on Fridays (when nobody will read it) just to reflect on where things are at and gather my own thoughts.

Wolverine has long had support for message idempotency using Wolverine’s transactional inbox to track messages that have already been handled, but that usage only applies to Wolverine metadata and does nothing from an upstream sender (or let’s be honest,…

If you’ve never heard of it (there’s something like umpteen seasons of a basic cable reality show about it somewhere), just set a timer first to quit before you spend all day reading about it.

JasperFx Software is closing in on a couple big releases in the next week or two that are worth talking about now to get last minute feedback and maybe additional requests.

We shipped Critter Stack AI Skills 1.10.0 today.

Like probably all software tool companies, JasperFx is working very hard to create a compelling story about the utilization of AI-assisted development with our tools.

I read a post from Paul Stack last week I thought was interesting titled AI Broke the Assumptions Behind CI.

It’s apparently time to play another game of .NET developers feeling consternation because of an OSS project’s attempt to be more sustainable.

Wolverine 6.30 is out.

Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that topics related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) are pretty well dominating most conversations about software development right now.

CritterWatch 1.0 dropped yesterday, and you can read the official release on the JasperFx Software site.

We’re doing a live stream today on the CritterWatch 1.0 release — but it’s maybe a little dicy whether the official release happens before or after the live stream:-)

CritterWatch will have its 1.0 release tomorrow (Wednesday, August 19th) just in time for a live stream on YouTube to show just the user interface part of CritterWatch.
