With .NET 10, you can just create an app.cs file and run it—no setup required. See it in action.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might remember a post where I mentioned solving a tricky architectural challenge while working on the official PHP MCP SDK and how PHP Fibers came to the rescue. We needed a way to pause execution mid-request, let the server talk to the client, wait for a response (in some cases), and then resume exactly where we left off, all while keeping the developer API looking standard, synchronous and simple. I promised a deep dive into the solution, and today I’m delivering it. (🔗 Link to the article is in the comments) This is probably the longest and most comprehensive article I have ever written. It’s not a quick tutorial. It’s technical, thorough and designed to reward patient reading. I went all in discussing the exact problem faced, how Fibers solved the issue for MCP’s client communication flow, the full architectural patterns used for cooperative multitasking in the SDK, and a build-from-scratch example of a cooperative task manager. It’s a lot, but I promise, you will walk away with a solid understanding of how to leverage Fibers for your own complex systems when the need arises. Cheers 🥂

In the architectural landscape of 2026, the "one-size-fits-all" API is a relic of the past. As enterprises scale across web, mobile, and even IoT devices, the diverse data requirements of these platforms have made a single, monolithic backend a...

Writing documentation is boring. Keeping documentation in sync with the code is even more boring. With C# we got XML comments that are in the code which makes it a lot easier to keep the docs in sync with the code. The problem? The XML comments are often only used for intellisense. The comments are sitting there, providing explanations and comments on API usage but they never make it to the documentation site. I wanted to make all of the effort that has gone into the XML comments available outside of the intellisense popups, so I created something. NuDoc.NET downloads NuGet packages on demand, extract the documentation and make it available. For example, checkout our Saml2 package: https://lnkd.in/dT9JdyHR What do you think? Is this something that could be useful? It's still a preview, but more features and handling for different cases is added step by step.

Your CI/CD bill is not exploding because of “expensive runners,” it is bleeding out through flaky tests, over-parallelized jobs, and slow feedback loops that quietly tax every deploy This piece shows you how to redesign pipelines so you cut compute waste, shrink queues, and speed up developer flow without adding yet another approval gate or YAML religion Full breakdown in the comments. #DevOps #CICD #PlatformEngineering

With spec driven devlopment, and the LLM development frameworks, claude code, cursor, open claw, autoresearch, etc. I believe that in a year most programming will be close to declarative, as in I speak my vision and the Agents bring it to reality. The question will then be can you express your vision such that the Agents can execute it properly. In the end we all become managers for better or worse.
