Second #csadvent today from @thesoftwarementor.com: Reducing Bugs by Using the Model View Update Pattern -

#csharp #dotnet
For this year's #csadvent, I wrote a post about how you can simplify business logic by using the Model View Update (The Elm Architecture) pattern using basic #functionalprogramming concepts like pure functions and composition.

Made it to Pittsburgh! I'm looking forward to Pittsburgh Tech Fest tomorrow where I'm giving a condensed version of "The Engineers Playbook: Starting a New Job". This is a great session for both leaders and those who are starting new roles.
Slide deck that has the text UX and Design for Devs with a subtitle of Elevating our Product Experience
Learning about UX and UI Design at NoVA Code Camp with @johnathayde.com
Slide deck with title of Learning FP Through Construction: First Principles
Made it to Reston for NoVA Code Camp!
I'm looking forward to speaking about how you can learn the fundamentals of #functionalprogramming by solving a fun problem.
If you're attending today, make sure to stop by the 9:30 session and say hi!

All squared away for #ATLDEVCON!
If you've recently started a job (or if you're a manager who's hiring people), come check out my session at 10am that goes over my approach for getting up to speed quickly on a new role!
On that note, we had our first pack wide meeting and I was able to award belt loops on eating healthy/being active and how to get ready for a hike.
It's rewarding to see Scouts who've never done anything outdoors take their first steps and hang out with other kiddos like them.
For those not aware, I started volunteering with Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) and I having a blast leading our first grade Cub Scout den.
I did some parent volunteering last work with the Kindergarten group and found it to be a lot more fun than I remember scouts being when I was a kid
Came across this thoughtful post from @rubylang.bsky.social about Ruby Gem's (their package manager's approach) for identifying and dealing with supply chain security issues.
It's always fascinating to see how other smart people tackle hard problems

VS 2026 Insider is available!
Among many other changes, one not so obvious change in that release is the default to `.slnx` format, and the good news is that @platform.uno supports it out of the box!

That's awesome! My son and I are building out some dice trays for his cousins. Love the project build!
Finally got through a fun problem for the upcoming video (a new game mode) that had been tripping me up for a while.
Stay tuned for a blog post about how to cancel async tasks in #node and #typescript
In last week's #codealong, we built out a basic math game for my son, J. As you might have guessed, we got some feedback on the game and have some new features to implement.
So how do we implement new functionality without taking on technical debt?

For this week, I'm trying something a bit different in the videos. It can be fun to show tips and tricks, but one thing I always appreciated was to see how other people think about problems.
Interested? Check out the video below and let me know what you think! youtu.be/nbS5-_SONfo

Do I know anyone who's a leader or a member of the Pittsburgh .NET User Group or JavaScript group?
I'm going to be in the area for Pittsburgh Tech Fest in October and I'd love to present to a user group while I'm in town.

Anyone have a space in London that the Gleam London meetup can use? Would love somewhere we can have a few short presentations from folks
Ooof, yeah 💯.
The thing I remember about exceptions is that they should be for exceptional behavior. So if you are coding control flows around it, that sounds like a need for a Result type instead.
Best of luck!
What a cool game, you should check it out!

Excited to see NoVA Code Camp coming back online.
I already submitted some sessions, you should check them out!

When working in #typescript, I love using union types as a way to limit a type to a set of possible values.
However, I find myself needing to iterate through those values.
In this video, I'll show you how to make that happen using const arrays

That's awesome, congrats!
What's one thing that's surprised you the most about the journey so far?
Looks like the CFP for Atlanta Dev Con is up.
I already submitted some sessions, hope to catch you there!

Good morning!
It's Tuesday, August 12th.
What's the last board game you played?
Recently played Summer Camp, a delightful deck builder that's a great intro to the genre. Would highly recommend!

While working on my Blackjack course I ran into an issue where some of my cards would be null.
Given that I'm leveraging #fp techniques, how is it happening?
In this post, we'll walk through the bug and how to use property based testing to check the fix

A common concept in computing is the byte, a chunk of data is consisting of 8 bits (8 0s and 1s).
But what if we had defined a byte to be 9 bits instead?
I really enjoyed this write up from Pavel about what could have been.

Hey, let's get some cool stuff on the timeline. Do you have art of your character, either from yourself or commissioned? Show it off here!
Please remember to tag your artists (links allowed) if it was commissioned, and keep that AI "art" off of our timeline.
