Visual Schema Compare for SDK Style SQL Database Projects in Visual Studio and SSMS Keeping your SQL database project in sync with a live database is one of the most common — and most tedious — challenges in database development. If you have ever manually compared CREATE TABLE…

I just added a new feature to SQL Database Project Power Tools: Schema Compare 🎉
You can now easily compare your SQL project with a live database directly from SSMS or Visual Studio.

Super useful for catching differences and generating scripts as part of your DevOps workflow.

I found these old pictures from October 2010 of my #Sudoku game for the #WindowsPhone. It was the first Sudoku game in the Store. Later I published a Sudoku Free version with #Ads. Both are still in the #MicrosoftStore. Together they have more than 2.5 million downloads.

How LINQ works YouTube video by Dissecting The Code

New video on Dissecting the Code YouTube Channel: "How LINQ works?" - youtu.be/hFKCOeUfZaA?...

To understand LINQ we should understand iterator blocks. And this is what I'm covering for almost 20 minutes! :)

But is this still fun?

I almost did not see it. D or B is not that obvious. Cool though.

ProDuckMap — The Product Planning Command Center Devs have GitHub. Designers have Figma. ProDuckMap gives Product the command center it's always been missing. Story maps, personas, UI elements, types, and AI collaboration — all in one place.

You shoot the bugs when they attack you. I think.

I have added a new feature to the settings of my Color Rings Puzzles game. You can now select the color theme for the rings.

Writing a .NET Garbage Collector in C#  - Part 9: Frozen segments and new allocation strategy Using NativeAOT to write a .NET GC in C#. In this part, we look at what the GC must do to properly handle frozen segments, and we change the allocation strategy to make it more efficient.

Have you ever noticed that a simple .NET Core applications on 64-bit uses more than 2TB of virtual memory?

In a new episode of the series "writing a .NET garbage collector in C#", we discover the kind of problem that it intends to solve: minidump.net/writing-a-ne...

Some apps rack up an unbelievable number of reviews. 105K is impressive… almost too impressive.

For comparison: my Sudoku Free app has 2 million downloads, 38K reviews (12K US), and a 4.7 rating. I’m genuinely proud of that.

But seeing numbers like 105K always makes me wonder how they get there

I like Copilot CLI but the billing model stresses me out a little. Because there's no hourly or daily limit, I worry that I might run out of requests before the end of the month, and use them very conservatively. Then I end the month with a lot of unused quota.

So I built a tool.

Screenshot of Visual Studio 2026 in which an auto property is refactored into a field property.

I really like the C# 14 field-properties. @visualstudio.com has a refactoring to convert auto-properties into the new field-properties. Very cool.

ClipPing got a major update!

The tool displays a visual notification whenever the content of the clipboard changes, for all of you who are tired of ctrl+c not working.

I added configurable overlays, and some QoL improvements (like automatically starting the tool with Windows).

I just saw the gear with the text. Ignore my question.

Super cool. Congratulations. What is the patent for?

Built a small app to read all my #MicrosoftStore reviews in one place. #PartnerCenter only shows them per app, which doesn’t scale when you have many.

How do you keep track of your reviews?
