I love being able to set up my Azure Durable Functions with .NET Aspire and Azure Durable Task Scheduler (using local container). Greatly simplifies the local dev cycle.

My team has been fighting a JavaScript date off-by-one issue lately. Enter 2025-10-01, parse and get 2025-09-30. An engineer on the team figured out a solution by setting a reference date. Happy there is a solution, but still find it somewhat confusing. Dates are a PITA…..still.

Bengals…hot garbage. So hard to be a Bengals fan. I remember the promise and collapse of the Carson Palmer era, and feel that I’m witnessing history repeat itself.
