I kept on hearing about these new "spec-driven development" tools for AI coding agents, and I was curious to have a play.

I've been using AI coding agents a lot lately - tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and OpenCode.

There's a lot of concern amongst developers at the moment that AI is going to take our jobs.

Happy New Year everyone!

I've recently setup some of my various config files to be source-controlled in a Github repository.

Before reading this post - note that when I say "resolving", I'm only talking about clicking the "Resolve" button for that particular comment thread.

TLDR; - The term "100x Development" is better because it focuses more on the nature of software development, not an individual.

Last year, whilst browsing the web on my phone, I learnt something that blew my mind.

It's New Year's Eve, and I've just remembered that I haven't done a 'year in review' blog post this year - so I'm quickly knocking this out now!

This post is part of two awesome advent calendar initiatives - the .NET Advent Calendar 2021, and the C# Advent Calendar 2021.

This year has obviously been a lot different than everyone expected.

I have some exciting news!

As an industry, we spend far too much time sat down.

How many times have you been working in a Git feature branch, and come across something in code that you want to change, but isn't related to the feature your on?

There are quite a few different mocking libraries in .NET.

I've just recently had an issue where I'd created two accounts for the same website - one for myself and one for my wife.

When writing tests, sometimes it can be tempting to dump a bunch of asserts into the same test to avoid duplication across multiple tests... public class MyTests { [Fact] public void SomeTest() { var sut = new SystemUnderTest();

Last week I had a catchup meeting with a client about the progress of a platform I'm building for them, and showed them how the "devops" side of things works.

I've recently started a new contract where we do 100% pair-programming.

When looking at a lot of C# code nowadays, I find myself thinking "wow, that code could be made SO MUCH SMALLER!".
