Just blogged: My NuGet packages hit a quarter-billion downloads. Just a number; I’m not sure it means much, but I turned it into a short note on NuGet, OSS, and the community.

hey everyone,

you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs…

also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about.

I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can:

- 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME

- ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects

if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible?

thank you. :)

🚀 I’m wrapping up my current engagement soon and starting to look for my next technical challenge. I’ll be available again starting April 10. A bit about me: • 20+ years of experience building and delivering complex solutions in .NET • Microsoft MVP – Developer Technologies (8 years in a row) • GitHub Star Award (3 years in a row) for my open source contributions I’m also the creator of the open source projects Cake and Spectre.Console. Together they have over 400 million downloads and are used by companies, organizations, and government agencies around the world, including Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, NASA, and GitHub. If you’re working with .NET platforms, developer tooling, or internal developer platforms, I’d love to connect. In my work I place a strong emphasis on quality, sustainable architectures, and understanding the bigger picture across systems and organizations. I thrive in roles where I can contribute through technical leadership, architecture, and improving the developer experience. 📍 Availability • Start: April 10 • Capacity: 50–100% • Remote or hybrid in Stockholm I’m primarily looking for consulting engagements, ideally in a Staff Engineer role, but I’m also open to full-time opportunities if the right technical challenge comes along. 👉 Feel free to reach out or pass this along to someone in your network. #dotnet #csharp #opensource #staffengineer #softwareengineering #consulting

@csk Wonderful!

I made your code even messier by introducing a small... let's say "typographic" improvement:
