And here it is!!! My new programming language Osprey! This has been a 20 year long dream, finally made possible with AI assistance. So stoked this is finally possible! 🎉
Stars and shares appreciated! ✨
I want to build a community around this

Legit scary! 😧
AI agents are again so much more powerful than you can imagine
They’ve surpassed the point I thought would be the limit
They rarely spiral now
I can’t even find a challenge for them anymore

@bsky.app is the first app to request my age verification under the ridiculous new Australian social media laws. Furious!
I understand that Bluesky needs to follow the law but other apps are avoiding the sledge hammer approach by analysing user signal
Not hating on Bluesky but may close account

Look, I’m entirely convinced that if you need to build a React app, you write it in Dart and share business logic with Flutter and/or React Native.
All my experiments with dart_node are frictionless. You can even share the state management solution

K, so have to give credit to ServerPod. It’s a great technology.
However, and I didn’t really figure this out until a few weeks ago…
You can also build Dart on top of the Node ecosystem with dart_node
I’ve just ported the mcp library to dart and the sky is the limit…

dart_node already has 49 stars 🌟 and lots of people using it and experimenting
It’s clear that this has momentum. Let’s build a community around this and push it as far as it will go
Keep those stars coming 🙏

To what extent do companies like Microsoft, Google etc FUND LLM training for their tech?
Think about it. If OpenAI or Anthropic trains their models on C#, that makes C# a worthwhile language. If not, it’s basically useless
Microsoft has a massive incentive to FUND training

I have so many open source projects going right now. It’s like a smorgasbord of stuff to work on
Maybe I should make an app where people vote for which project I spend my time on 🤔

All the vscode forks like Cursor and Windsurf have had their day. The agents are alright but Codex and Claude Code prove that the whole IDE is not necessary
Cursor and Windsurf etc need to pivot to vscode extensions or die off

There is some merit to the “vibe coding produces junk” mantra. I’ve built so many incredible things lately, but not one of them is a complete product, except for maybe RestClient .Net 7
Vibe coding is perfect for prototyping but there’s no avoiding the next step: generalization

Seen so many software consulting nightmares. I can’t figure out how clients and consultants get themselves into these situations
It’s almost always centred around the consultant gouging the client and then the client being left high and dry with no support
We should do better!

C# has hit critical mass for FP style code. It’s now more concise to write just about anything with function composition rather than inheritance
Makes you wonder why we use OOP at all

How exactly does one become an “AI Consultant”?
Wtf does that even mean?
You want me to teach you how to use agents? Hell, I can build you an agent!
Stop getting sucked in by snake oil salesmen!

Recently built a Vscode extension and it’s awesome 🙌
Only I can’t show you because it has platform specific dependencies and I can’t figure out how to deploy them properly
Can you believe that! Exactly the same problem as React Native and Flutter on Node. Endless xplat pain

Microsoft has painted themselves into a corner with Windows. The promise has always been that enterprise apps will continue to run on the current version
This guarantees that insecure, buggy software is open to malware attack. Ironically, enterprises won’t allow security

Software industry is extremely homogenized, particularly here in Australia
Every scale up that transitions from startup is like a clone of every other scale up
The basic structure of Scrum, DDD based teams etc is ubiquitous
Could it have gone another way? Why this structure?

Name your code elements with the most obvious and direct description of WHAT IT IS.
I can’t get over how many variables etc I’ve seen where the writer bends over backwards to name it anything but what it actually is.

Seriously, if you’re not pushing well crafted languages like F#, OCaml, Rust and Zig, you are hurting the software industry and guaranteeing we have keep swallowing warmed over garbage for the next decade

Anthropic bragged about dumping RAG from Claude Code and the result seems to be that CC duplicates code all over the place
If you force it to search for code before writing new code, it hopelessly fumbles around climbing up and down the folder structure like a noob

What is the internet for these days?
The point of the internet used to be that anyone could broadcast content and find an audience on Reddit, YouTube, Twitter
That’s no longer the case and not even paying for reach works
TikTok kinda works but still unpredictable

FP programmers are terrible ambassadors for FP programming
They’re always banging on about lambda calculus and category theory and it makes FP sound like this daunting thing that lay people can’t grasp
The reality is that FP makes most programming simpler and easier to grasp
