Please @VisualStudio when applying an edit from Copilot, don't re-write (without changes) the sections of the code that don't change. The visual effect (for me) is that I am forced to do the scan for changes as it goes along, and it seems that it could slow down the edit unnecessarily

Build step (includes restore). It's consistently crap (3x or more) in every project and every build

If I was @Microsoft and owned @GitHub, there's no way I would let this be the status quo of #Windows performance. It's a DISGRACE and makes the whole company look laughable. How can Microsoft's own product be the WORST in his own dev/CI platform?!?!

SponsorLink is dead: long live OSMF

Almost exactly a year after my SponsorLink v2 post, and having virtually no traction whatsoever (besides a handful of sponsors, deeply appreciated!), I’m announcing its retirement and replacement…

Pretty wild to see my reported #dotnet issue github.com/dotnet/exten... fixed by #copilot in github.com/dotnet/exten... after close interaction with @stephentoub. Wild times.

Right. But why can't that just be nuget.org?

Perhaps you have a free version and additional premium paid features, or entirely commercial distribution of otherwise OSS source (see OSMF opensourcemaintenancefee.org)

Simple. Sensible. Sustainable.

Directly fund your maintainers with the Open Source Maintenance Fee.

What I need from @dotnet #aspire is for it to be a tab in @Azure portal for any app (functions, web, etc.). Just like AppInsights Log Stream that "just works" @davidfowl

I'd like @dotnet dnx to be the bootstrapper to the whole .NET ecosystem.
dnx [email protected] [args]
dnx [email protected] [args]

should install .NET 10 and 8.0.x (if not previously installed), and run `dotnet` with that SDK version selected. This would allow you to run an app.cs with 10+ to test SxS

Just switched my agent routing model to grok-4-fast (non-reasoning) after testing it. It beats gpt-4o-mini on cost while being ~twice as fast and as accurate as GPT-5 (reasoning=minimal) for my scenario. 🔥

There’s no place for political violence in civil society. That's an easy one to agree on.

Incitement of violence is also typically a punishable crime in most civil societies. But since what constitutes incitement is less clear, I think it's also easy to agree on courts determining that.
