My latest side project, this takes an MSBuild binlog file and transforms it into a Perfetto trace

@james.newtonking.com is grpc-dotnet 2.76.0 officially relased? There is a nuget (and a -pre1 one), but on GitHub there are no release notes or git tag for grpc-dotnet 2.76.0

The first Monday of the new year means... predictions! Thrilled to announce that @simonwillison.net will again be joining @ahl.bsky.social and me for 1- 3- and 6-year predictions. Bring your own predictions and join us today at a special time: 4p Pacific!

The year of “reasoning” The year of agents The year of coding agents and Claude Code The year of LLMs on the command-line The year of YOLO and the Normalization of Deviance The year of $200/month subscriptions The year of top-ranked Chinese open weight models The year of long tasks The year of prompt-driven image editing The year models won gold in academic competitions The year that Llama lost its way The year that OpenAI lost their lead The year of Gemini The year of pelicans riding bicycles The year I built 110 tools The year of the snitch! The year of vibe coding The (only?) year of MCP The year of alarmingly AI-enabled browsers The year of the lethal trifecta The year of programming on my phone The year of conformance suites The year local models got good, but cloud models got even better The year of slop The year that data centers got extremely unpopular My own words of the year That’s a wrap for 2025

Here's my enormous round-up of everything we learned about LLMs in 2025 - the third in my annual series of reviews of the past twelve months

This year it's divided into 26 sections! This is the table of contents:

Graphic of Eclipsed Sounds' Synthesizer V ASTERIAN with artwork by precursor777, with text reading: "Third Anniversary Thank you so much for your support of ASTERIAN since 2022. As our second vocal project, and first sales-funded vocal, ASTERIAN was a deeply important project to our future as a company, and we truly approached him with this mindset. Thanks to the incredible talent of Eric Hollaway and the tireless effort of our team, ASTERIAN became a reality and was readily embraced by an incredible community of talented users around the world. To celebrate ASTERIAN today, we'd love to hear any of those works from you or others that you have enjoyed, or even just a little bit of what you have to say about ASTERIAN today on his anniversary of release. Thank you for your support of ASTERIAN for 3 years - and for many more!"

It's #SynthV_ASTERIAN 's anniversary of release today! If you have anything to say or anything to share to celebrate ASTERIAN's third anniversary today, we would love if you would take the time to let us know. Thank you for your support of ASTERIAN since 2022!

screenshot of MSBuild binlog viewer on the Properties and Items tab, the query shows `$property "OutputPath" "UseArtifactsOutput"` results show a tree where each assignment to OutputPath is highlighted, with the actual value being displayed where an assignment was made

MSBuild tip: if you're working with binlogs, set the environment variable MSBuildLogPropertyTracking=15.

It enables logging of where each property was initially assigned from during evaluation and lights up more features in the binlog viewer.

Oh how I wish Microsoft would hire you (no matter the price) to simply fix shit in windows. Free reign. "Bruce, we don't want to see you, just the commits, fix stuff. We'll pay whatever you want" It'll be beneficial for all.

Some great charts on #AI from the Wall Street Journal. t.ly/xvvbw "AI products would have to create an additional $650 billion a year, indefinitely, to give investors a reasonable 10% annual return. That’s more than 150% of Apple’s yearly revenue"

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.

Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.

Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

Sounds interesting, did you have a chance to read this book yet?
I am interested in learning more about singing vocal synthesis and was wondering if this would be a good book to get or not.

AI PRs where the author doesn't have an understanding of the system shift the burden of understanding onto the reviewer.

So now it's on the reviewer to gain an understanding of this area to either confirm or refute. The author saved time at the expense of the reviewer.

#dotnet

I am excited for #dotnetconf, I've secured a spot for a talk and will show the best new things in #dotnet test and #mstest. Hope that you join me to see the cool stuff we've been working on throughout the past year. (It is on day 2).

Now that #dotnet code coverage will be coming to #visualstudio professional 2026, is there perhaps also any info on Testcase Impact Analysis ( #TIA) for #azuredevops CI/CD pipelines (as far as I can tell it was never supported for .Net Core?)

Thanks, @kirillosenkov.com might know whom to contact about it. I believe there has been some confusion in the past about ownership of the code due to people moving/leaving teams. It might not be “known” that much, but I ran into it some years ago (due to a bug) so I remembered

How does this relate to the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.DistributedTask.MSBuild.Logger.dll? (Which provides MSBuild logging integration for AzureDevOps)

Screenshot showing a search box on top with $property and three property names such as DebugType, and lower the search results in the form of a tree, showing reads and writes of those MSBuild properties.

New in MSBuild Structured Log Viewer:

If you've ever had ordering issues where someone reads your property before you wrote to it, this is the tool for you.

Looking forward to the Sneak Peak at ARA 3.0 @audiodevcon.bsky.social 2025 Talk conference.audio.dev/session/2025... (Embracing Audio Synthesis) by Stefan Gretscher (Celemony)

very interesting, I wonder how far off the implementation is from able to run ffmpeg wasm in a react native app. I guess it would be really good “test” in a way
