Ended up hacking together a custom agent then threw GitHub Copilot at it. It cooked for a bit on Codex then I switched to Claude Sonnet 4.5 in-session & it cracked it! Still need to fully digest the small tweaks it made to fix it but happy to be on the other side!

Just launched a polyglot multi-front end, multi-backend, GraphQL driven tech stack built, instrumented, and deployed entirely using Aspire across multiple environments. Wouldn’t have been possible to do what my team accomplished in the time we had without it

How many of you have ticked this box when creating new .NET 10 Blazor Web Apps in @visualstudio.com 2026? Or manually configured a *.dev.localhost URL in their launch profile when updating an existing app to .NET 10?

Well crap. Turns out, MiniITX motherboards only have a single EPS connector for CPU power, which is actually limiting when running top-end consumer CPUs (9950X, etc.). Couldn't understand why my Cinebench scores were so low.

Time to sell some cases & motherboards & re-spec these builds 😔

.NET 10's `dotnet run file.cs` works well with Raylib to write small games!

Visual Studio 2022 Aspire users:
*UPDATE to the latest version of Aspire*

You're missing out on so much!
Latest Aspire supports .NET 8/9/10!

Run this in a terminal:
dotnet new install Aspire.ProjectTemplates --force

Open NuGet Package Manager & update all Aspire.* packages to version 13.

Enjoy!
