I’ve always liked the idea of Dgraph (relational database with graphQL). I’m looking at Dgraph hosted slash graphQL vs ms fabric SQL with GraphQL enabled.
Nice post on setting up webhooks from Azure Monitor
Bing/M365 copilot was solid similar to ChatGPT response but missing a key point and I didn’t like the way the result was presented.
Deepseek, first time I’ve used. It wouldn’t do the calc/response. It worked on simple queries. Might be too busy due to its recent release but it failed miserably.
Thoughts:
Claude won, factually correct, nice break down, offered facts that could affect the tax calculation. First time I’ve used Claude.
ChatGPT was good, slightly unclear on a point and the follow-up was not brilliant.
Perplexity is my default and I love it but the results was disappointing.
I’m comparing AI engines today:
I’ve built a prompt relating to a fairly complex UK tax query. And a follow on prompt.
My scoring was:
Claude.io : 10/10
ChatGPT 4 (free) : 8/10
Bing/MS copilot (free) : 7/10
Perplexity Pro (paid) : 6/10
Deekseek : 2/10
Is this platform getting every fruit loop from Twitter? I just want a platform where I get relevant content I can use.
Great 8 min video on token theft.

Good info on token theft, and then using Entra to prevent reuse of token using conditional policy or services
Need a Swagger/OpenAPI specification for an API. Garry Trinder has a good tool walk thru of Dev Proxy (5min)

Had an initial look at windsurf.io as an IDE. Basically, it’s a branch of VSCode with AI coupled in.
Demo Time created by @eliostruyf.com looks fantastic for VSCode demos. If you do coding presentations it will help as I tend to forget steps and need to call out areas. www.producthunt.com/products/dem...
HSTS is used for enforcing HTTPS usage and protecting against security threats. HSTS improves the security of websites and improves user trust.
Low code is a key tool for businesses. There is a place for programming languages and the same applies to low code. Lowcode coupled with api, and eventing can build maintainable apps in a less time and expense. All technology can put your company’s future at risk, low code is no different.
New annotations:
AllowedValues: Specifies a list of acceptable values for a property.
DeniedValues: Defines values that are not permitted for a property.
Base64String: Validates that a string is Base64 encoded.
Super useful
Building a C# app in .Net 8 as a holiday project.
I see there are new data annotation properties
I remember the good old days of using Regex to validate simple data input, so much effort use to go into email
[EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Invalid email address.")]
public string Email { get; set; }
Postwright - Tool to convert Postman Collections into Playwright scripts github.com/bhadmus/post...
Fantastic news
#Playwright E2E testing release 1.49 has important and useful features. The biggest being the extra assert option using the Aria snapshots based on the accessibility. It also adjusts to the chromium changes (headless engine), and a useful retain-on-first-failure time to upgrade to the lates
Here is an interesting post for testing test #APIs without a swagger contract . I use #postman for api testing but I’m going to look at #playwright for api testing

100% and sometimes years later, something clicks and my understanding changes
Postman’s infrastructure is awesome, I’ll be attending the Europe webinar on 12 dec #postman.
Wish I could make this London Pulumi meetup
I still find C# the best for me but I’m 100% thinking of making TypeScript my 1st choice. Great point on c# debugging in vs code
Nice post, I really like bicep. For the last 12 months I’ve been using #pulumi for my #iac, I can’t recommend it enough
