Jeffrey Palermo shared thisI pushed up a new test sample for when a .NET software system needs to interact with physical machinery. Sometimes, what's happening in the code needs to turn on something, turn off something, or send some electrical signal into a non-computerized machine of some sort. This isn't quite fully into IoT land, but it certainly does require us to bridge into that world. This is where the ESP32 chip comes in - running C# using NanoFramework. My sample here is a full, 3-background worker messaging application with a small web server, message bus, and an interface with GPIO (or other electrical methods) to make the ESP32 board interact with machines or electrical circuits of different types. Pull down the code and snag an ESP32-C3 or ESP32-S3 and try it out. https://lnkd.in/gP9SypQf

Jeffrey Palermo shared thisFirst time running nanoFramework with C# 9 features on an ESP32, and everything clicked. Very common IOT pattern. Set up has the chip offer a temporary Wi-Fi access point. Use your smart phone to connect and open up a configuration webpage. Tap a few buttons on the webpage to configure how the program running on the chip should work and then let it run. Wi‑Fi + HTTP server + pub/sub messaging stack: my ESP32 repo. https://lnkd.in/gP9SypQfGitHub - jeffreypalermo/esp32-wifi-server-http-server-messagingGitHub - jeffreypalermo/esp32-wifi-server-http-server-messaging

Jeffrey Palermo liked thisJeffrey Palermo liked thisWe’re setting out to make Aspire the paved path for building services inside of Microsoft. Many teams have been onboarding with it for both their inner loop and now expanding into the outer loop. The goal is to shrink the journey from idea to production real without sacrificing any of the important details. Most projects are slowed down by compliance work but with agents and aspire we can minimize a lot of this pain. If that’s interesting to you contact Mitch Denny, Jose Rodrigo Pérez Rodríguez or Maddy Montaquila. PS: I think my reach on here is broader than internal forums 😅.

ASP.NET MVC 5 LiveLessons provides web developers with an introduction to ASP.NET MVC, which includes a review of web applications on the Microsoft platform. This course educates the developer from a master software engineering perspective with an eye toward frictionless development, best practices, and build and test automation.
Description
Software engineer and Microsoft MVP Jeffrey Palermo guides developers through each part of the ASP.NET MVC 5 framework, and he demonstrates how to leverage each piece to its fullest with real-world code examples. Viewers will learn how to create well-structured MVC web applications from scratch, add libraries and dependencies to the web application without creating unnecessary coupling, and create dynamic web pages and screens that accept, validate, and process user input. Viewers will also learn how to expose complex data to the application’s users through screens, extend the MVC framework to create cross-cutting behavior with minimal code, and develop using HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery to create MVC web applications that function equally well on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. While learning the framework, viewers will learn how to properly structure a software system that uses separation of concerns and layering so that applications can be maintainable for years to come.
Based on the best-selling ASP.NET MVC 4 LiveLessons, this video training has been updated to use Visual Studio 2013 and the MVC 5 enhancements to security and authentication as well as integration enhancements such as WebAPI 2 and OData support. The result is that with MVC 5 and WebAPI 2, 80% of REST-style web services can now be done right alongside the rest of the web application without the complexity of WCF.

When we took over a SaaS product upgrade earlier this year, the founder thought they had a dev problem. They didn’t. They had a 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 problem. No one was documenting changes. Feature requests came through DMs. Deadlines were “whenever possible.” We introduced a reporting system, Asana integration, and transparent sprint updates. Productivity went up 40% without adding a single engineer. Most founders think they need more talent. What they actually need is more 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.

I’m seeing this pattern now and it’s getting boring: Someone comments “AI wrote this” like they’ve uncovered a scandal. Meanwhile… those same people are using coding agents every day. And here’s the funny part: A coding agent isn’t magic. It’s not “intelligence”. It’s literally: try → fail → retry → burn tokens → try again → maybe succeed That’s the workflow. Agents brute‑force their way through problems. They generate code, run it, break it, fix it, break it again, regenerate, patch, retry all while chewing through tokens like a woodchipper. So who’s really “AI‑written” here? The person who writes a post with a bit of AI assistance… or the person whose entire codebase is being hammered into shape by a loop that runs 40 attempts deep? The irony is wild. If you’re going to shout “AI wrote this!”, at least admit you’re using the most AI‑dependent workflow of all: agents that keep trying until the tokens run out. #AIEverywhere #AIAugmented #AgentOps #CodingAgents #AIEngineering #SoftwareRealityCheck #ModernEngineering

Someone asked a room full of experienced Windows developers what framework to use for a new desktop app. Dead silence. One said WPF. One said WinUI 3. Someone asked if they should just use Electron. We never answered the question. That silence is thirty years in the making. When Petzold published Programming Windows in 1988, the answer was obvious: Win32, one API, one mental model. He explained it. You learned it. You used it. Since then? MFC. OLE. COM. ActiveX. WPF. Silverlight. WinRT. Metro. UWP. XAML Islands. WinUI 2. Project Reunion. WinAppSDK. WinUI 3. MAUI. Blazor Hybrid. WebView2. And that's just Microsoft's offerings. The most widely deployed desktop GUI framework on Windows today is Electron — and Microsoft had nothing to do with it. Every failed initiative traces back to one of three causes: internal team politics, a developer conference announcement that got ahead of the strategy, or a business pivot that orphaned developers without warning. None of them are technical failures. The technology was often genuinely good. The organizational failure was the product. I wrote up my view of the full history, the PDC 2003 and Longhorn reset, the Windows vs. .NET civil war, Silverlight's quiet execution, the Metro panic, and a complete list of every GUI technology actually shipping on Windows today. Let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/eu-xV9xv #Windows #dotNET #softwaredevelopment #Microsoft

The "Comprehension Debt" Debate: Are we entering the era of Post-Code Software? I've been following the recent discourse on "vibe coding" and the rising concern within the engineering community. There is a viral chart circulating that warns of "Comprehension Debt" - the idea that while AI makes writing code easy (the honeymoon phase), it makes maintaining it a nightmare because the human author doesn't actually understand the logic they just committed. It's a valid concern if you believe the future of software development looks exactly like the past. But as a non-technical founder currently building a comprehensive SaaS platform using these very tools, I see the trajectory differently. We aren't just seeing a faster way to write code; we are seeing the emergence of a new layer of abstraction. The "Black Box" Reality The debate often centers on trust. We trust the microcode in our processors and the firmware in our storage not because we've audited it line-by-line, but because the abstraction layer holds up. We focus on the input and the output, not the mechanism inside. For builders like me, AI is becoming that next abstraction layer. The shift is moving from Implementation (writing the syntax) to Intent (defining the outcome). The "Zero-Touch" Horizon The fear of "Comprehension Debt" assumes that a human must always step in to fix the mess when things break. But this view ignores where the technology is heading. We are rapidly approaching a workflow where a PRD (Product Requirements Document) translates directly into a working product. 1. Generation: AI handles the architecture and code. 2. Validation: AI agents manage the QA, security audits, and regression testing. 3. Iteration: User feedback is fed back into the requirements, and the system self-heals or refactors. In this scenario, the human "debt" doesn't matter because the "repayments" are also automated. If an AI writes the code, an AI can debug the code. The Evolution of the Builder This doesn't mean engineering is dead - far from it. But the role is evolving. We are moving from a model where value is defined by how well you can lay the bricks, to a model where value is defined by how well you can design the building. The future belongs to those who can articulate a crystal-clear vision and rigorously define the constraints and requirements. The "how" is becoming a commodity. The "what" and "why" remain the premium assets. We are watching the barrier to entry for innovation dissolve in real-time. It's not about ignoring the risks; it's about realizing the toolset has changed forever. #AI #SaaS #FutureOfWork #ProductManagement #TechInnovation #BuildingInPublic 🌐 mycel-ai.de Mycel AI

89% of developers are using AI. But only 24% are designing APIs for AI agents. That's not a gap. That's a canyon. I just got early access to Postman's 2025 State of the API Report, and this stat stopped me cold. We're in the middle of an AI revolution, yet we're building APIs like it's still 2020. Here's what's happening: → AI agents are becoming the dominant API consumers → 51% of devs now cite unauthorized agent access as their top security concern → 70% have heard of Model Context Protocol (MCP), but only 10% use it The companies winning in AI aren't just adopting AI tools—they're rebuilding their API strategy from the ground up FOR agents. Meanwhile, 93% of teams are still struggling with basic API collaboration. Broken collaboration = broken APIs = broken AI strategy. The question isn't "Should we adopt AI?" anymore. It's "Are our APIs ready for AI to consume them?" Read the full State of the API Report here: https://fandf.co/48GNqja Thanks to Postman for sharing these findings and collaborating with me on this post. What's your take? Are you designing APIs with AI agents in mind, or are you waiting for the pain to force the change?
