I love my kids but I wish they would keep their colds to themselves. 🤪

Bring on the Sudafed!!

It’s my nights and weekends project. 😔

Re-enable functions project debug in extension · Issue #14282 · dotnet/aspire Aspire is the tool for code-first, extensible, observable dev and deploy. - Re-enable functions project debug in extension · Issue #14282 · dotnet/aspire

I have been struggling to get my #Aspire project to correctly attach the VSCode debugger to my #Azure Function project. Using Aspire CLI worked via ‘aspire run’.

Finally found that this seems to be a known issue:

Few things that annoy me more than someone not showing up for a 1:1 because they had another work meeting. Just let me know. It’s all on your calendar.

The last couple of weeks working on my side demo project has been the most fun software engineering project I’ve had in a long time.

Learning new things. Getting stuck & overcoming. Trying new ideas. Creating. Solving problems. Learning.

I hate it. I would rather see Netflix. Don’t need more under rich Trump sycophants controlling media.

I hope Netflix takes their money and crushes Paramount and Warner.

Spec Driven development with GitHub Spec Kit I’m speaking at the Cleveland C# User Group on how GitHub Spec Kit helps teams move from “vibe coding” to spec-driven, repeatable AI-assisted delivery.

Feeling disappointed with vibe coding with AI coding agents?

Join me this evening to learn about spec-driven development with GitHub Spec Kit.

It's totally free and online, so you can join from the comfort of your home or office.

Thanks to Sam Nasr and the Cleveland C# UG for hosting the event.

Enjoyed watching the new Scrubs on TV tonight.

Hit the limit monthly on my GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscription today.

Done for the month or increase the budget?

I've had a lot of fun the past week or so learning more about Durable Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework and Azure Durable Functions. Great to demo Durable Agents to several colleagues at work. Looking forward to doing more! #Azure #AzureFunctions #AI

Monday started with 4 hours of back-to-back meetings. Due to a series of reschedules by others, down to 2 hours. Winning!

I understand why they do it. I know some of the regulars…they’re great and consider them friends. I’d just like to see more new faces.

Another tech conference with the same set of speakers. 😞i get having some established and known good speakers, but it gets a bit old after a while.

Great talk about AI agents and MCP by @trayburn on Wednesday night at Azure Columbus meetup! #Azure

It’s been 1 year today. Better, but still broken in some ways. Thankful for the true friendships.

Enjoy digging into Microsoft Agent Framework and Durable Agents!

Really enjoying playing in a winter golf league with guys from my church. It’s a great group. Continuing to work on my swing and applying lessons from my coach. Wednesday was my best round in a long time. I hope I can continue improving to get ready for spring golf!!

Congratulations Indiana!

The Big Ten….It Just Means More. 😉

It should be THE Buckeyes. But, if it can’t be…

Hoooooosiers!

I miss attending CodeMash. I need to fix that.

Why college is still valuable in 2026.

I tried 0.154.0 and 0.154.3 so far this morning. Both failed. github.com/mcollier/my-...

I tried 0.151.0 and went back to find a version that worked based on some GH issues I saw. I can try a newer version….maybe tomorrow. I was upgrading from 0.121.0 and changing themes.

There’s several things I like about SWA. However it’s starting to feel like SWA is in maintenance mode at this point. Disappointing.
