Quite a few people sadly aren't on Bluesky yet! If you know anyone who's been on the show, and is now on Bluesky, and isn't on the list - please let me know :)

I enjoyed chatting with Olorunfemi Davis in the latest #UnhandledException podcast episode. We spoke about Microsoft Copilot Studio, Semantic Kernel, and AI in general.

This is so true. I've done this so many times where I naturually think optimistically about how long something will take, and it always takes longer.

Have just attempted my first-ever weight-lifting competition! And got 1st in my age category! 🥳 Although the younger category were in another league with the amount they were lifting! 🤯 It was great fun! Everyone there was so supportive + encouraging. I'm lucky to have such an amazing gym so close!

Just assigned a bunch of GitHub issues to Copilot before going to bed. This is just for my personal website rewrite (not live yet). It's done a pretty great job so far! I would say it's nice to know my code is being written whilst I sleep - but I bet it finishes them all before I finish this post!

Have just scheduled the next @dotnetoxford.com event for October. This time, rather than our usual talk-based format - we're going to attempt an "unconference" format. If you've organised or attended one of these before - I'd love your ideas/suggestions! 😊🙏
www.meetup.com/dotnetoxford... #dotnet

.NET Unconference!, Tue, Oct 21, 2025, 6:45 PM | Meetup

This month we’re trying something different: no set agenda, no prepared talks, no slides. Instead, the community decides what we talk about. We’ll kick off by gathering id

One thing I'm finding when using AI to code, is that because I'm trying to write detailed prompts - even if AI doesn't end up helping much - it's still forcing me to fully understand and articulate the problem in writing first. The prompt file is great documentation too!
