Quite an old blog post of mine - but I thought I'd resurface it to help raise awareness. I was in my early 40s before I even knew that most people could see images in their heads! If you're reading this and only just discovering you have Aphantasia, please let me know! www.danclarke.com/aphantasia/

Just finished recording an upcoming #UnhandledException podcast episode with Jeffrey Palermo (from the Azure & DevOps podcast) on “AI-driven development and DevOps”. Fascinating conversation - really enjoyed our chat! Will aim to publish before the end of the month.

Today we ship Aspire 13! Why 13? It’s a number that’s bigger than 10 but less than 14.

It marks the start of a new chapter for the project. We’re expanding beyond .NET, bringing the same, code-centric experience to Python, JavaScript, and more.

Given the port from Disqus to Gisqus worked so well for my personal website (thanks to @andrewlock.bsky.social! 🙏), I've just done the same for the podcast!

A good time to go and comment on your favorite episodes! 😊

As part of this, I added Giscus for comments instead of Disqus that I was using in the previous version. I haven't ported the old comments yet though.
Just Googled it and found this post (and migration tool!) by @andrewlock.bsky.social!
Andrew - you're a star!!! ⭐

The new version of my personal website is now live! I've switched from a DIY solution to @11ty.dev (largely "vibe coded"). I wanted the homepage to be a landing page for all my things - rather than being the blog listing page. Thoughts/feedback are greatly appreciated 😊

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!
