I was a music scholar, played musical instruments, took exams for those and music theory, listened to all sorts including classical growing up. Despite this, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet just came on and my brain went “ooooh Sims”. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

After helping run #AspireConf last week, seeing the release of
@aspire.dev 13.2 and being inspired by the team, I wanted to make something actually useful that uses Aspire. Best part? It uses a PR I currently have to support @mongodb.bsky.social Atlas locally 😀. Meet The App Host

Already learned so much from this session. Naming things is hard but Aspire has loads of ways to name things on the dashboard for readability! #AspireConf

Double header at Dot Net North this month! @lucecarter.bsky.social on Semantic Kernel + MongoDB AI integration, and @stevefutcher.bsky.social making software installs smoother with Chocolatey. Tickets are free, and there's pizza + drinks!

Ah nostalgia. Great choice! 🧡

I had so much time off left that I am off from 16th Dec to 10th Jan and I cannot wait!

Front cover of the book Beginning MongoDB Atlas with .NET by Luce Carter

Thought my newly published book would make a good first post!
I describe myself as many things, published author is one of my favourites!
