It's part 1 of 2 involving builds. The next video will take the Cake build and run it from a GitHub Actions pipeline.

And here's video 8 in the Very Opinionated ASP.NET Core Architecture series. This one adds a build application using C# Cake to compile and package up the app.

Video 7 is up. This one is about codifying our code by writing a code analyzer and a source code generator. Plus pointing out some benefits we get from spending the extra time doing that extra work.

If you ever watch/listen/read any of the content I create, then please, never tell me. I don't need to be halfway through a stupid joke and realize someone I know will witness it.

It's Predictin' Time! With #FantasticFour coming out in a week, we sat down to predict what might happen in the film. www.mcurewind.com/ff-predictions #Marvel #MCU

Setting Up a C# Pit of Success with AL Rodriguez, Thu, Jul 17, 2025, 6:00 PM | Meetup Writing code is only \~40% of software development work. Maintaining high-quality code is maybe another \~20%. Reviewing PRs and updating dependencies are just some of the

Due to a scheduling issue I'll be speaking at the Greater Lansing User Group for .NET Developers (GLUGNET) this Thursday instead of much later. We'll be talking about the features in C#/.NET to help us setup a Pit of Success in our projects. It's free AND virtual!

This week we take a short break from the MCU and rewind an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Season 3 Episode 9: The Wish! www.mcurewind.com/411-skrull-b... #Marvel #MCU

The Wisher

Trying to buy a domain for a new project and every idea I have is taken but not used. I blame all programmers for this. Damnit people, stop doing that thing we all do.

Sorry the screen is so dark in video 6. I forgot to disable something and didn't feel like re-recording the whole thing. I will issue your refund within 5 business days of you watching it.

Forgot to announce video 5 a few weeks ago. Anyway, videos 5 AND 6 are out now. 5 is a basic implementation of the ratings app, and 6 converts the app to use an Azure Managed Identity when connecting to Azure Table Storage.

8 years after starting this podcast (to the week), we complete the rewind for Avengers: Endgame. I guess it's time to update the release schedule on www.mcurewind.com/release-sche...

This week we complete our rewind of Avengers: Endgame! This is from the Hulk's snap to the end of the film. www.mcurewind.com/410-avengers... #Marvel #MCU #Avengers #AvengersEndgame

Chills

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Wow, so many followers on Podchaser! It warms my heart to know there's such a following of MCU Rewind. We're grateful for each and every one of you. #MCU #Marvel #Blessed

Border Patrol already charges people leaving water for migrants crossing the desert border. Expanding who ICE can arrest is inevitable.

Guy: This image is A.I. generated and it looks so good. The people even have the right amount of fingers.

Me: (counting 1,2,3,4,5,6) Yup, checks out.

Wikipedia entry: In the Marvel Zombies: Dead Days one-shot (which served as a prequel to the Marvel Zombies 2005/2006 miniseries), Franklin and his sister Valeria were suddenly eaten by zombie She-Hulk.

Refreshing my memory of characters before the new Fantastic Four movie.

8 years of podcasting the MCU to get to this moment and I still hate the sound of my own voice

Video 4 is out now. We're converting the ASP.NET Controllers to minimal endpoints to make the files a bit more compact, and in my opinion, a little bit easier to grok.

The multiverse

Our long national nightmare is over...oh, forgot about the other nightmares.

The final rewind of Cloak and Dagger. For now?...no, definitely the final one.

There's a reason for the yelling. The interval is random.

Another day yelling randomly, "CORS was a mistake"

Video 3 is up. Writing Controllers with the REPR pattern.

DO NOT DO THIS
sitting down in the middle of a riot (or protest) is fucking dangerous

if the cops are using their less-lethal correctly, then your head is now where body shots should be

you are at risk of being trampled to death by the crowd

you are at risk of being trampled to death by a horse

Spent some time creating another C# Roslyn Analyzer. This one to enforce using an Auth attribute in an ASP.NET Controller OR the individual endpoints in the controller class. Let me know what you think!

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

As is tradition with streaming services these days, the first episode doesn't have much. So the first two episode are released at the same time! This is my first time creating Youtube videos. Please make the comments as mean possible. I want to full experience.
