FiServ/CardPointe ISV building small business platforms, starting with @barberdotshop and @tattoodotshop.

dotnet tool install xslt -> xslt 3.1/4
dotnet tool install xquery4 -> xquery 3.1/4

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@purplcabbage we used Claude to build updated xslt and xquery parsers for .NET

@MattParkerDev I've never seen an IDE built in GoDot. That's amazing - I'm guessing it's a lot more responsive?

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@TheSalonDon I could beat that + build you a nice web platform to manage appointments etc. with it

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

they've all been ransomed lmao

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

Why are JavaScript people allergic to server side? Mention server side and they immediately treat you like an idiot. Clearly you can't build something that renders on a server.

Seeing enough disturbing news about Google Cloud randomly shutting down service/access to start seriously considering a vendor that DOESN'T do that. WTF

[andi (twocents.com) @Nexuist]

It is 2016. Google Cloud has put a major customer through some bullshit situation easily resolvable by literally one human

It is 2020. Google Cloud has put a major customer through some bullshit situation easily resolvable by literally one human

It is 2026. Google Cloud has p

Taxes are for assholes

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.

Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.

It will accomplish 4 things (at least )

1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization

Which will

2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption

Which will

3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x

Which will

4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like

At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.

Thoughts ?

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@mcuban Why does everything need a fucking tax?

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@James_M_South @SixLabors Congrats Jim!

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

I don't think Claude gets enough credit for what it does in regards to the most odious work around unit testing

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

Claude is fantastic when it comes to web UIs. Desktop UIs - not so much. Very painful!

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

My hot take is that #dotnet isn't dead, it's that it's so good and mature that it's 'satisfied' and everyone working with it is immensely satisfied with it. Which is hard to write posts about sometimes.

But, much like Jim, Aaron Stannard, and other greats on here, there's PLENTY of great things happening in the space - many great and mature platforms have been and are being built on dotnet, but most don't have the 'eyeball draw' of some of these 'here's how you write Claude skills to have agents talk to each other' posts that are in high fashion these days.

But that's the difference between people talking about doing things, and people actually doing things. And this isn't even limited to dotnet, don't get me wrong - the point is, dotnet is far from dead - it's thriving!

[JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 @James_M_South]

The #dotnet community really is dead, isn't it? I share something absolutely mindblowingly awesome and its tumbleweeds. An equivalent in JavaScript garners thousands of shares and likes.

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

Move to structured data (*cough* XML *cough*) and give AI something actually useful and contextual, and see how much more productive it gets

[Addy Osmani @addyosmani]

Move from Markdown to HTML and give AI a richer canvas to communicate output humans will actually read. Think plans, specs even throwaway editors. Like this idea which keeps more humans in the loop.

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@James_M_South Could be worse - try getting people interested in XML/XSLT again!

Finally, some good news

@dotnet Why do I want to download ~1Gb of OS for my builds? Even with some of the more OS-specific features we have in some of our builds (Unicode, image management) it literally doubles our build time trying to download Ubuntu images. Very clunky - Alpine is much leaner

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@BowTiedRanger 💎 🥂

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

Having Javascript as a bare-bones, minimal dependency is probably one of the single greatest things about Blazor development and not enough people are paying attention to that detail

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

Extremely happy to announce that our https://t.co/uHiYGrWRUK platform is now finally LIVE. I'm going to be honest -- even with Claude's help, this has been, by far, the most challenging platform I think I've ever worked on. The good news is, we've got about 7 more coming!

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

@DevLeaderCa no because I want it specifically for that reason

[Endpoint Systems @endpointsystems]

that's the spirit
