I'm super happy to announce that @dotNetCoreShow has been rebranded to The Modern .NET Show, with a shiny new website (including dark mode and everything).
Give it a click over at https://t.co/kDyT0sff8x

Here's hoping @_charlescornell finds out (in a later video) that the title screen music was "inspired by" Stone Cold Crazy by Queen.

As prescient then as it is now, if not more so.

It also reads very much like @gentlemanrhymer's philosophy on boredom being an energy (which comes from Bertie Russell, too)

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

Curiouser and curiouser.
I can access the WebUI via Opera GX, but no other browser. My guess is that since it's an unencrypted connection (HTTP rather than HTTPS), all modern browsers block it by default. But I haven't confirmed that.

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

I'm in need of some #remarkable help.
No matter what browser and OS combo I use, I cannot open the WebUI for my Paper Pro. I can use the HTTP API (proving that it's set up correctly), but cannot access the WebUI on the same address.
Has anyone else seen this?

The latest blog post from @rjjsoftware (i.e. my Strategic Technology Consultation company) is all about why your competitors using #AI is a good thing for you.

[rjjsoftware @rjjsoftware]

While your competitors chase shiny #AI toys, you can leap ahead with #strategicAI implementation that actually delivers ROI. Here's how.

I seem to have received a package addressed to some Scottish bloke. A "Professor Richard McRichard"
I couldn't resist opening it up (being so damnedly intriguing.
Turns out it's my, signed copy of the @talkingbottom book

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

The best episode of "Chef Reviews Kitchen Gadgets" by @sortedfood yet.
The format, the jokes, the silliness, all of it. Perfect.

.@CodingBlocks is still real to me, dang it!

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

With the weather being as good as it is, it might be time for the ruddy great big sound system to make an appearance, some wonky cocktails, and Chaptstep Volumes 1 and 2 by @gentlemanrhymer

Its usually pretty difficult to choose my favourite track on a new @gentlemanrhymer release. But its even more difficult with his new album (B-CURIOUS) as its banger after banger.

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

Hold the phone! @gentlemanrhymer got @MegaRan on his new album!?
Talk about the meeting of two of the best.

@dracan I can't then ask the LLM questions about "when did I learn about..." or "does this <snippet> apply the lessons from...."
It's RAG, which is old hat these days, but very useful.

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

@dracan This is why when I read books, I manually highlight sections, then a month later, go through the highlights and type them up (actively revisit why I highlighted them) and write up a summary of the lessons.
Then have an LLM injest the lot.

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

So I sit down to a little light Sunday video games, and suddenly @gentlemanrhymer appears as a, rather spiffy looking, enemy...

📢Jamie Taylor of The Modern .NET Show and I sat together talking about Google Gemini in .NET: The Ultimate Guide.

Please check out the podcast episode: https://t.co/sQuDpT9CDd

🙏Thanks @podcasterJay for having me on the @dotNetCoreShow .

[🎮 The Waffling Taylors @wafflingTaylors]

Not going to say what the episode was about buuuuut... ...
Officially the longest podcast episode I have recorded just wrapped up.

Over 5 hours straight and we didn't cover everything.
-Squidge

[podcasterJay @podcasterJay]

Some breaking news for @dotNetCoreShow
So breaking in fact, that the recording was rushed and show notes have a few typos.
Mark, the editor, smashed it though.

@davidfowl A client told me, within the last six months, "we're not going to use EF Core because it's not production ready." I still can't figure out their logic on that one.
Some folks wanna C# in hard mode, I guess.
