JavaScript app resources can represent static browser frontends, Node.js servers, SSR frameworks, and specialized resources such as Next.js apps. The deployment decision is less about which AppHost API you started with and more about which resource owns the public HTTP surface in production.

We had an amazing time at the Global AI Accra event, diving into the Microsoft Agent Framework!

It’s incredible to see how Microsoft has streamlined AI agent development. We talked about how simple and intuitive the framework is to use, and we even built a live AI chatbot during the session to show it in action.

If you are looking to build next-generation AI agents, the Microsoft Agent Framework is absolutely one of the best tools to look into right now. Plus, it offers great flexibility with native support for both Python and C#.

Ready to build your first agent? Check out the framework and start experimenting today!

@andrew692633 @THESTATENEWSS Wow and you order it on their site, right? When you go to the siite, they say the S-branded light is not available. I wanted to get one.

The next Silicon Valley will come from Africa.
I recently sat down with the Testra Podcast to share my experience with Africa’s tech ecosystem.

In the conversation, I provided insights into how the ecosystem is evolving and what the future might look like. I also talked about my personal journey and how I became a software engineer, something I hope you’ll find both inspiring and motivating.

Listen, get inspired, and help build the ecosystem.

No More .sln or .csproj Needed! In .NET

If you've been in the .NET world for a while, you know the drill: want to run a quick idea? Spin up a solution, create a project, wrestle with a `.csproj`… all before writing a single line of logic.

Those days are over

With the latest .NET, you can now build real applications using just `.cs` files, no solution file, no project file, no ceremony. It feels a lot like writing Go or Python: create a file, write your code, run it. That's it.

This is a huge win for:
🔹 Rapid prototyping
🔹 Learning & teaching .NET
🔹 Scripting and automation
🔹 Developers coming from Go, Python, or Node

.NET is finally shedding the "enterprise-only, heavy tooling" reputation and embracing the lightweight, file-first developer experience the community has been asking for.

Want me to make it shorter, more casual, or add a hook about a specific pain point?

Excited to share something I’ve been working on

I’ve just released EfCoreKit, a .NET library designed to eliminate repetitive boilerplate in EF Core so you can focus on what really matters: building features.

As developers, we often rewrite the same things in every project: pagination, soft deletes, audit tracking, repositories, and more. It gets tiring and slows us down.

With EfCoreKit, you install the package, call a method, and all of that is handled for you.

What you get out of the box:

♻️ Soft Delete with global query filters

♻️ Audit Trail (CreatedAt, UpdatedAt, etc.)

♻️ Pagination (offset & keyset)

♻️ Repository & Unit of Work

♻️ Specification Pattern

♻️ Dynamic Filters

♻️ Query Helpers & DbContext utilities

Design goals:

No lock-in works with standard EF Core

Fully opt-in features

Clean, maintainable architecture

No more rewriting the same pagination logic or plumbing code again and again.

Install:

dotnet add package EfCoreKit

If you’re working with .NET and EF Core, give it a try and let me know what you think!
