See you on Bluesky...

[Arthur Vickers @ajcvickers]

On Bluesky now. For #EFCore peeps: I'm not on the Entity Framework team anymore. I thought I would work on EF Core until I retired, and beyond. Very sadly, that turned out not to be possible. I'm going to really miss the team and the community. But on to new and exciting things!

I have been through a thing.
I am much better.
Thank you to everyone who reached out.

I have recently discovered a library called #grats for building #graphql servers in type script. I liked it so much that we decided to put a cherry on the top 😂

Join me!

[Arthur Vickers @ajcvickers]

I did a Build 2024 session on #EFCore with @shayrojansky and @JamesKovacs. Good luck finding it by any organic means, so here's a link! https://t.co/IhCQcgxUBW Get the word out there! Good #EntityFramework content does exist, it can just be a bit hard to find!

[Arthur Vickers @ajcvickers]

I don't like it here anymore. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Issues with @monzo:
- The "confirming your identity" screen hangs
- Support chat is not responding
- Call to customer service was disconnected after 30 minutes without any answer.

What's going on @monzo? Seriously considering changing banks at this point.

Busy? How about a super quick (and slick) 4 minute demo of Entity Framework Core Power Tools for Visual Studio AND the CLI version?

Today live at 10AM Pacific, @eric_sink demonstrates how to use a synchronized offline copy of your database using SQLite. His "rep and sync" approach results in fast local writes, while sync happens in the background.
