From the first day I started Message24, one of my biggest worries was what happens when the platforms I depend on change their rules?

One of the biggest problems my customers kept hitting on Message24 was hallucination.

I use Claude Code a lot.

Grug brain small.

PlanetScale’s new $5 single-node PostgreSQL tier (PS-5) promises the same observability/maintenance story you get from their Vitess-backed MySQL side.

While Linux does have the tree command, if you’re doing programming, you probably don’t want results in folders like node_modules, dist, etc…, so here is a useful little alias I have in my ~/.bash_aliases: 1# tree alias that excludes common directories…

Building AI agents?

I gave a short talk at Wazero Party 2.0 about how we migrated the Extism Go SDK to use Wazero:

In the early days of computing, software was pretty much locked into specific hardware setups.

Database UDFs, or user-defined functions, are functions that are created by users to add custom functionality to a database.

One of the most boring and tedious work in wrapping native libraries in C# is writing the DllImport functions.

Disclaimer: I am writing about my personal experience here.

If you’re managing your own databases you’ll need to make sure you database is backed up properly.

A <textarea> is an HTML element used to capture multiline user input.

When using Google as your OIDC provider you can ask for the picture claim which contains the user’s profile picture.

ASP.NET Core makes writing integration tests very easy and even fun.

This post is my annual contribution to the 2021 C# Advent Calendar.

Introduction Modern applications are complex and take many different forms: Web apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, CLI apps, other APIs, Bots, IoT apps, and so on.

Today, I spent an hour debugging why an http call was getting 401 as a response.

In my current project, we have a console app that runs in the background and sends data to a frontend application.

Building modern APIs require a lot of things to make them reliable, observable, and scalable.

SQL supports wildcard search on strings using LIKE operator which accepts % and _ wildcards.

To get a dump of a database you can use pg_dump or pg_dumpall for dumping an entire cluster.

Every once in a while, I have to write a script to automate a task.

Suppose we have a folder called dependencies with this structure: - dependencies - child-folder - file.txt - file2.txt - file3.txt If you want to add the entire folder as link and preserve the directory structure, you can use this inside your .csproj

GitHub associates commits with people via email addresses.

C# Source Generators is a C# 9 feature that lets your generate source code during build.

In a previous post we talked about getting more control over the update process in sideloaded UWP apps.

If your company is based in one of the developed countries, chances are you won’t have much of a problem.

In the last couple of weeks, I have been busy setting up a CI/CD pipeline for one of my side projects and getting it to run on Linux.

.NET Core apps can run on a number of operating systems.

When connecting an app or website to a database, most of the time you’re querying the database and mapping the result to strongly typed objects.

This week we set up a CI/CD pipeline for one of our UWP apps that needs to be sideloaded because we don’t publish it through the Microsoft Store.

By default when navigating a frame to a page, UWP doesn’t give you back a page instance.

I was browsing web once when I stumbled upon an article about SkiaSharp.

The C# yield keyword is an interesting keyword, because when you use it, you can return an IEnumerable<T> without specifying any concrete implementation explicitly.

Note: Stefan Hausotte has ported this little experiment to F#.

Recently we wanted to enable auto-updates for an app that we were developing for a client.
