...a comedy show that absolutely destroyed us (thanks Roelant for the tip).
Grateful that @aviva2.bsky.social continues to support this. Investing in people’s knowledge and network pays off—simple as that.
...with other MVPs, the direct access to the teams behind .NET, Aspire, GitHub, and Azure… that kind of interaction genuinely shapes how these platforms evolve.
Me and good friend Eduard also made the most of being there: a hike in Snoqualmie, exploring Seattle, and...
The Microsoft #MVPSummit at the Microsoft campus in #Redmond delivered again.
I can’t share details (NDA), but one thing is clear: 2026 is going to be a big year for our industry.
What makes this event stand out isn’t just the sessions—it’s the conversations. The ad-hoc discussions...
I've been a .NET developer for over two decades and only today I discovered that "dotnet format" is a thing. Thanks to my AI CLI.

I've just released an amazing new release of PackageGuard, the tool to get a grip on your open-source dependencies. Version 2.1 will now produce a detailed report on the security, legal and operational risks of every dependency
We are halfway on our way to the summer, but the coming months will be pretty busy. Hope to see you at one of those conferences soon.
A couple of weeks ago, Patrick Akil invited me back at his #BeyondCoding podcast. We spend almost an hour talking about breaking down technical debt, being a coding architect, open-source development and the impact of AI on our profession. Check it out at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4MU...
In case you missed it, last night we shipped a bunch of new features and improvements through Fluent Assertions 8.9.0 _and_ backported some bugfixes released as 7.2.2. Check out the release notes at github.com/fluentassert...
Oh, and did you know we just shipped 1.4 of Mockly. See github.com/dennisdoomen... for the release notes.
If the built-in request body matching isn't enough, hashtag#Mockly also supports providing your own code to implement more advanced request body matching algorithms. Check out the documentation at mockly.org/docs/advance...
Mockly 1.4 was also released last night and adds a nice overload for WithBody and allows you to override te JSON serialization options. See github.com/dennisdoomen...
If you're at any of those conferences, I'd love to hear about your experiences too.
Occasionally, when I mention that I'm (sometimes) allowed to talk about my biggest passions at conferences and events, people tend to ask me about the topics I cover. Well, as you can see, I like to cover a lot of different parts of my profession.
Mockly, the new in-memory .NET HTTP mocking kid on the block also supports limiting the number of times a mocked request will respond. This is great for more complex scenarios. Read more about it at mockly.org/docs/advance...
I've shipped a minor update of Reflectify, a content-only NuGet package that makes it more fun to get information from your .NET types. Check out the release notes at github.com/dennisdoomen...
Mockly 1.3 was released recently in an attempt to make the failure messages even more self-describing. It will now make it more obvious if your HTTP mock wasn't expecting a query string and the actual request was.
Check out the release at github.com/dennisdoomen...
For projects on Azure DevOps, this is what I do to avoid bothering my team members with a code review that still contains obvious and non-trivial mistakes. I haven't figured out which one is better; @jetbrains.com Junie or #Claude.
Ooh. That's pretty cool.
Mockly, my new .NET HTTP mocking library has its own website now. Check it out at mockly.org

The number of times I'm having @jetbrains.com #Junie do two things concurrently on two solutions open in two instances of #Rider is increasing by the day. In fact, I'm doing it while I'm typing this...

Although version 8.9 of #fluentassertions is on the way, we couldn't help ourselves and also ship a tiny bugfix for version 7. See github.com/fluentassert...
Oh dear. GitHub is down...
Last night, I've released version 1.2 of Mockly. It improves the failure message that it produces if the actual HTTP request did not match any of the mocked calls. It also includes information about the actual request body. Check out the release notes at github.com/dennisdoomen...
I've shipped a new version of Reflectify, a .NET library full of convenient extension methods to make working with Reflection a lot easier. And what's even cooler, this package comes as a source-only NuGet package. If you use it, you don't get a binary dependency on another DLL.
That's Sander ten Brinke kicking off the first day of the #swetugg conference in Stockholm with a full room.
