I was pretty sceptical with @aspire.dev when it first came out, but it's been worth its weight in gold for my team.

In an AI-native world, human attention is a scarce resource. As @davidfowl.com pointed out, coding agents make software faster to produce, but they also make code harder to review, debug, and trust when the context disappears.

The hidden cost of agentic coding is code review. When producing code is trivial, human attention becomes a scarce resource. @davidfowl.com explains why review became the first bottleneck his team experienced as agents changed the scale of development.

Aspire 13.4 brings more of the local development loop into @VSCode.dev: AppHost CodeLens actions, live resource state, dashboard shortcuts, typed resource command prompts, TypeScript AppHost support, and multi-language debugging. devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/aspir... #AspireDev

I needed a SQL Server database to test something. VS Code mssql extension could create a local sql server container for me but it does not work with podman. The wizard to create an Azure SQL Database was glitchy. In the end, best solution was to use aspire, in few minutes I had my database ready.

Aspire is a powerful tool for developers but not well understood – and pure TypeScript AppHost may broaden its appeal

In this post, @davidfowl.com shows us how Aspire turns a development team's scattered tribal knowledge into an explicit, incrementally adoptable app model that humans, scripts, and AI agents can all use. devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/dev-l... #AspireDev

Lots of people in the .NET ecosystem use Spectre Console (because it is awesome) and I am sure like others they are watching the development of Spectre TUI with interest. I wondered what would happen if I attached Spectre's IAnsiConsole as a workload to #hex1b. /cc @patriksvensson.se

@davidfowl.com nerd sniped me over the weekend with a bunch of bugs. One was a feature request to support select behavior on arbitrary areas of a #hex1b app. Here is an example of where it ended up:

I don't know what @maddy.fm @damianedwards.com and @davidfowl.com are going to do on #aspirifridays anymore. I just tried @maddy.fm 's /aspirify skill that is shipping in Aspire 13.3 and it just one shot migrated the Mealie app to use Aspire:

Agents can write code all day, but running and iterating on it? Different story🫠 Aspire 13.2 adds structure and a real feedback loop for agents with code, not Markdown. @maddy.fm is here to share how Aspire gives your agent some bumpers 🎳 🔗 devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/agent...

L'estensione di David Fowler @davidfowl.com per Aspire è davvero interessante per chi deve fare deploy su Docker. Può semplificare notevolmente il processo di distribuzione su server remoti. github.com/davidfowl/as... #aspire #dotnet #docker

Just shipped an update to #hex1b today which adds a `WithDockerContainer` API to Hex1bTerminaBuilder. The idea is that you attach a running container to your terminal to help with test isolation. Works fairly well although not very visual. Was @davidfowl.com's idea. github.com/mitchdenny/h...

Problem When using Hex1b for CLI end-to-end testing (e.g. the Aspire CLI E2E tests), tests run directly on the host via WithPtyProcess("/bin/bash", ...). This means tests share the host filesystem,...
