@SIRHAMY We have used Rust since pre-1.0, but we are doing the opposite: moving from Rust to C#. We will miss the expressiveness of Rust, but not the long compile times or hit-and-miss ecosystem.

[Dave Bettin @dbettin]

@nickchapsas @davidfowl We use it and it’s fantastic. We use it for APIs workers, frontends, one-off tasks - and much more. All via our agent harness.

[Dave Bettin @dbettin]

@DamianEdwards @dotnet We have recently updated our naming to snake case as well.

[Dave Bettin @dbettin]

@DamianEdwards @dotnet We are using file-based apps for our agent harness and tooling. Interesting that the community is defaulting to snake case naming for these apps/scripts.

[Dave Bettin @dbettin]

@jfversluis We use it extensively for our harness scripts. It has been working great. Give us the ability to add cohesive testing against this behavior.

Doing some experiments today with Opus 4.6's 1M context window.

Trying to push coding sessions deep into what I would consider the 'dumb zone' of SOTA models: >100K tokens.

The drop-off in quality is really noticeable. Dumber decisions, worse code, worse instruction-following.

Don't treat 1M context window any differently.

It's still 100K of smart, and 900K of dumb.

@Aaronontheweb @davidfowl I have started using https://t.co/YlFt5mE8Kq. So far, pretty good. No Ratatui in Rust, but a good solution in the C# world

[Dave Bettin @dbettin]

@ICooper @Aaronontheweb This is already happening . Forward Deoloyed “Agent” Engineers job listings everywhere.

@shanselman Awesome! I have a 19, 13 and 10 year old that all loved it!

I recently published the first MCP Bits post: https://t.co/jsKIPGHcfe

MCP Bits is a weekly newsletter that compiles all the latest #modelcontextprotocol news, articles and project updates.

@sundarpichai Yes! I am the creator of a MCP newsletter - https://t.co/2HUXBJ6Ge3 - and the traction is untenable.

@obensource @kenhowardpdx Unfortunately, most people I knew have left. But it is a great place to work and live!

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

@davidfowl I recommended this to the C# team close to 3 years ago and they were like “No Thanks”. https://t.co/g1ftPONLeP

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can't be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.

The Postal Workers Union is done fucking around.

There’s a reason @DHS_Wolf and Trump don’t want you to see well-researched coverage of what just happened in Portland - it exposes their dangerous behavior and infringement of American’s rights:
