Hey #dotnet - we on the .NET SDK team are all about making the `dotnet` CLI more capable and powerful over time. But how do you usually _get_ the `dotnet` CLI and other tooling? Today that answer is a _bunch_ of different ways. We have a plan to centralize these ways into a new tool, and we'd like to get your feedback on it! Please check out the design spec over at https://github.com/dotnet/designs/pull/339 and let us know what you think! Do you like/dislike the plan? Would this solve your needs? What else would you like an SDK management CLI to be able to do?

I spent my whole evening writing a lot of text because I decided to build something by gathering feedback instead of YOLOing it. I could have been watching The Wire instead, so I hope it was worth it.

In other words, I've added new discussions and issues in the #opencli repository. I really want to have a 0.1 draft ready before my vacation ends...

I have a side project that’s been on my TODO list for a long time (a C# Source Generator for @nietras‘s excellent Sep CSV parsing library). I finally got around to creating using some agentic coding tools and wrote up my experience on my blog:

It’s a really simple code generator, but it works well enough for my use case that I can migrate of the CsvHelper library.

Heya! 🎇 Just released AsmMos6502 - a new .NET library with a fluent assembler API and a full disassembler for the 6502! 🚀

👉 https://github.com/xoofx/AsmMos6502

Can’t wait to tinker with it and write code for the upcoming modern C64! 😎

Maybe it’s finally time to make my first C64 demo - better late than never! 😅

What happens if you let an ignorant board take over a company 👇

$INTC server x86 market share goes below 50% (estimated). Bravo $AMD and $TSMC. Hope $INTC gets back to it's engineering roots.

True Agility Requires Event Sourcing

True agility is impossible with legacy architectures. The single data model paradigm has to be overcome. Only then increments can be kept tangible and changeable — unlocking real agile development.
