Spotify's Chief Architect just showed how they ship 4,5K deployments /day with Claude at Anthropic stage

27-minutes. free. By #1 music app dev

"More than 99% of our engineers use AI coding tools. Adoption took off after Opus 4.5"

Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

Almost all of the features from Productivity Power Tools have been built into Visual Studio 2026. Just a few more to go...

@MiddleBrownie @VisualStudio @Microsoft @mkristensen Hi @MiddleBrownie, Settings from 2022 are copied over to 2026 on first launch of 2026. Meaning if you deleted 2022 before launching 2026 your settings will not be brought over.
I can work with the team to make this clearer, thanks for reporting this issue!

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

@garevaul If you could that would be a huge help, this is actually owned by the SQL team and I would need to hand it off to them internally. I would prefer to put something directly on their backlog vs twitter or email :)

Today we ship Aspire 13!

Why 13? It’s a number that’s bigger than 10 but less than 14.

Seriously though, Aspire 13 marks the start of a new chapter for the project: the beginning of its polyglot era. We’re expanding beyond .NET, bringing the same model-driven, code-centric experience to Python, JavaScript, and beyond.

Check out the what's new on the new site:

Aspire 13 is here - it's such a big deal that we had to skip a few versions 😉
