How I taught AI to read Aspire docs - David Pine — @IEvangelist How I added list_docs, search_docs, and get_doc to the Aspire MCP server to help AI agents build better Aspire apps.

💡 Just gave AI agents real docs to work with! Introducing three new Aspire MCP tools — list_docs, search_docs, and get_doc — so AI actually understands and references @aspire.dev docs instead of guessing. 🧠📚

If 2025 was the year of vibe coding, 2026 will be the year of vibe maintenance and security.

I got tired of juggling around install scripts for my CLI projects so I deployed an install-script-as-a-service with:

* A POSIX-shell-compliant template
* Support for release, prerelease, and PR builds
* Shell-aware path export instructions

Yeah, this was just an early WIP. Lots of ideas to enhance this UX

Let me know what you think!

I shipped it. Still need to work on it but it does some stuff. Deployed here: playaspiredev.netlify.app

Aspire playground prototype

I'm curious, all of our @aspiredotdev users, is an #aspirePlayground something that you might use? I've been prototyping a bit, thinking about:

⬇️ Import existing AppHost/Docker compose file
⬆️ Export an AppHost.cs/SVG from the visual editor

What do you think? 🤓

Anatomy of an API: three ways to stream with ServerSentEvents() A blog post exploring why minimal API’s TypedResults.ServerSentEvents() has three different overloads, what each one does, and how to avoid mixing them up when you’re streaming data to clients.

Continuing my series dissecting APIs and the thinking behind them.

Today: balancing abstraction vs. control. Great APIs let you start simple and grow into complexity as you need to.

A visual comparison of before and after GitHub Copilot made some changes in a PR.

🤓 I asked @GitHubCopilot to review a PR. It suggested a change. I told it to go ahead and apply it. Then it opened a PR back to me—complete with a gorgeous auto-generated visual of the update. This isn't coding anymore… it's collaboration. 🤯 #AIwon
