Latest Tech

This is where I put the newer tools and workflow changes I actually cared about, with enough context to see whether they were useful in real work.

Newer .NET and AI topics land here first. I kept the writeups short on hype and heavy on what the tool actually helped with.
AI SDK

.NET Claude SDK

How I wired the official SDK into a .NET app, and the first few things I built with it.

AI Workflow

What Can I Start in AI in .NET

Where to begin if you want one small AI feature that helps a team without turning the whole app upside down.

IDE Workflow

Copilot in Visual Studio

How I used the chat, inline, and agent modes without making the workflow awkward.

Guardrails

Using AI in .NET Responsibly

How I kept prompts tight, protected sensitive data, and avoided building something nobody could trust.

Decision Model

When to Automate, When to Use AI

The decision I wish more teams made earlier: automate the exact parts, use AI for the fuzzy bits, and combine both when needed.

IDE Workflow

Copilot Modes in Visual Studio

When to use chat, inline, and agent mode so the tool fits the task instead of getting in the way.

Release Workflow

Build a Release Note Generator in .NET

A workflow I actually trusted: code gathered the changes, AI wrote the first draft, and a person signed off on it.
