@endjin.com has been a remote-first company since 2017.
After a few years away travelling around the world, Carmel Eve returned to work in the UK.
Carmel talks about how remote flexibility protected her mental health and made that transition possible.

Having gone from Cline to Roo Code, to GitHub Copilot, to Claude Code and OpenCode over the past 18 months, Mike Evans-Larah shares his simple mental model for grokking AI-assisted coding:
1. Harness
2. Capabilities
3. Model
4. Provider

No @azureweekly.endj.in last week - Easter, a family gathering and a dog that's just had surgery meant I've just not had time.
I have a 256gb one and whenever I use it, I am amazed, especially as I have USB external HDDs that don't have that capacity!
Claude/GiHub Copilot PR review constantly thinks the package needs updating because it's a lower version than Spectre.Console, so a big thumbs up for me
I've done a bit of work with OpenCLI - I've got a tool which generates a MCP server from an OpenCLI spec, and one that generates a OpenCLI spec from any CLI. Was surprised to get an issue against DeadCode - a tool to help AI Agents identify dead code - to improve OpenCLI support for a new visualiser
Yup. I totally don't understand it.
We're starting to blog about the approaches we've taken to deliver successful outcomes for AI solutions.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that the same rigorous approaches we take for software & data engineering & data science projects are just as effective for Al scenarios

Dungeon Crawler Carl event at the Leicester Square Theatre. View from the stalls, of the stage with Dungeon Crawler Carl on the screen and three empty chairs waiting for Matt Dinniman, Jeff Hays and the host to arrive.
I very much enjoyed the Matt Dinniman & Jeff Hays event last night in London. I did not enjoy having to leave a packed theatre at 23.00 - mid performance - because SWR has decided the last train service is now at 23:35. Nothing like getting mocked from the stage AND by the audience. BYEEEE 👋
I keep seeing reviewers saying "War Machine is like Predator" - have none of them seen Battle Los Angeles???
He was watching One Piece anime when taking a break from reading!
I'm beyond excited that my nephew has developed the reading bug after discovering my collection of Naruto books. He consumed 1.5 in less than 12 hours and asked to take the next 6 volumes home with him "to last him the week".
Once I discovered HTMX, the size & complexity of web apps has reduced significantly
The joys of the YouTube Algorithm in one comment:
"Wow, that was an awesome explanation. I am shocked it has just 89 views. I liked and subscribed. Great job, thanks a lot"

📢 New Post from Jon George:
TL;DR: A queue‑of‑work pattern splits large API ingestion jobs into thousands of parallel tasks, cutting runtime from 15 hours to under 2 and providing automatic retries, fault tolerance, and lower cost than traditional orchestrators.

I've seen a couple of his solo shows and they are superb. I once got to spend an afternoon with him in a pub, and interview him for my uni student paper. They say never meet your heroes, but he is the exception. A true great.
After a cracking brekkie at Gail's, we're at The Design Museum - it was one of Waller's favourite places #wallerfest26
We're having a good pub lunch (and visiting one of his favourite places - the design museum)
We haven't really talked about it, because that would make it real.
Paul Waller (AKA crashbangwaller) - endjin's 1st employee and creative powerhouse. Died suddenly on 27th February 2025 from Motor Neurone Disease.
Today is #Wallerfest 2026 - where we @endjin.com are coming together to remember & celebrate our beloved colleague, our very first employee, Paul Waller, who died from Motor Neurone Disease 1 year ago today. His passing was sudden and unexpected, and shocked all of us. We miss him every day.
New Blog from Ian Griffith, covering his Rx .NET v7 talk On .NET Live earlier this week, sharing the source code of his demoes and digging a little deeper into some of the content he shared.

Thanks!
Ian Griffiths was On .NET Live, talking about Rx .NET v7, System.Linq.Async changes to support the new System.Linq.AsyncEnumerable package in .NET 10, & plans for Rx v8.
Catch up with the hour long session, which includes a number of demos, or read the transcript 👇

〰️ HAPPENING TODAY at 9AM PT 〰️
Join us for a walkthrough of Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx.NET) v7 and learn what’s next in its future plans!
See you LIVE here ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OAv...
I'll pass on the message to Ian, I don't think he's on here yet. I did have a chat with @chethusk.bsky.social - it feels like the tooling has fallen through the re-org cracks.
New Post from Ian Griffiths: getting T4 working on .NET 10 based on our experiences with Rx .NET & Reaqtor (which use a lot of T4 for type generation).
IMHO T4 either needs some love from Microsoft or it needs to be fully open sourced.

In 2088 we might finally get .NET apps ported...
Pandoc is a bit of a beast. And it's had a long history. Was impressed they managed to get it working. Hopefully it will inspire others.
