I’ve been using Azure Service Bus since the Service Bus for Windows Server days. My new series covers Azure Service Bus lessons learned the hard way. First up: filter count. At scale, the number of rules can matter more than the filter type. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/08/02/a... #azure

Azure Service Bus: Count your filters

TL;DR: Azure Service Bus can publish one message to a topic and deliver it to multiple consumers. A topic is the shared destination, a subscription is a consumer-specific view, and a filter decides wh...

1/ The Chinese Open Source model Kimi-k3 from Moonshot AI is claiming it will release it’s weights on Monday. «The full model weights will be released by July 27, 2026.» What does this mean in normal speak and what are the possible implications on stocks and politics? www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-k3

How do you keep performance gains without fooling yourself? The final post in my performance and benchmarking series covers useful regression gates, benchmark variance, noisy CI runners, and why human judgment still matters. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/07/20/k... #dotnet #performance

So happy to have @debbie.codes joining us this September 💛 Platform Engineer doing Applied AI at Zephyr Cloud, ex-Microsoft Playwright wizard, and just genuinely one of the good ones in this community. Come say hi and catch her talk!

I wrote about what happens when a message handler outlives the queue lease. Renewing sounds easy until you need a renewer, mutating receipts, coordinated delete, and shutdown juggling. The first loop is easy. The edges are where the work lives. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/29/w...

A benchmark win is not the finish line. The real workload may tell a different story. Profile the larger execution path again to see whether the improvement compounds. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/22/a...

The first version of a message pump is easy. The tenth version contains: retries idempotency transactions topology monitoring The hard part isn’t the loop. It’s owning every failure mode behind the loop. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/20/m... #dotnet #messaging

The biggest red bar isn’t always the biggest problem. Profilers reveal costs. We set priorities. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/08/r... #dotnet #performance

We inherited a legacy medical invoicing system. The business wanted to expand into web shops. Same invoices. Very different failure modes. Here’s what a message queue taught us about temporal decoupling 🧵👇 www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/13/l...

Production code is too noisy. Benchmarks are too focused. Between them sits the profiling harness. Small enough to isolate a code path. Realistic enough to expose allocations and CPU costs. Visibility first. Comparison second. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/06/01/b... #dotnet #performance

The first benchmark I wrote looked deceptively easy. A class. A few attributes. A method. The hard part isn't writing benchmarks. It's knowing what deserves one. Profiles identify. Benchmarks validate. Production teaches. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/05/27/s... #dotnet #performance

Most engineers undervalue their time. You have more important work to do than re-inventing the wheel.

"That's quite expensive. We'll just build our own." "Your library doesn't do what we need. Fix it now. For free." "Why do you want budget to pay for free software?" "You said this was free! How dare you charge money for the latest version!" Sound familiar? Help us fix it: usewhatworks.org

We are asking developers to do more with less, including less pay. Either we have managed to cut cost without reducing output, or we have increased output, but have very little to show for it. I'm sure there is another narrative around creating new opportunities, but I'm not hearing about those.

The average developer salary is my new GenAI signal. If it's really about developers leveraging AI and unlocking new value, then I expect salaries to increase. If GenAI is about increasing profit margins, then I expect the average developer salary, and headcount, to decrease over time.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Vercel's AGENTS.md approach outperforms skills by embedding comprehensive Next.js docs into the agent context, avoiding decision points and ordering issues while ensuring consistent availability across turns — though skills still shine for focused, user-triggered tasks like upgrades or migrations.

AGENTS.md outperforms skills in our agent evals - Vercel

A compressed 8KB docs index in AGENTS.md achieved 100% on Next.js 16 API evals. Skills maxed at 79%. Here's what we learned and how to set it up.
