Screenshot of the nuget package downloads for the OpenFeature SDK. It reached 10 million downloads.

Quite excited to see this milestone reached for the @openfeature.dev dotnet SDK. This last year we saw a big increase in the number of downloads of the package and hopefully it will keep growing! #csharp #dotnet #opensource

Let’s hope they will include a native app for Apple TV 🤞

I really enjoyed @github.com Universe Recap London 2025 yesterday.
Great talks, practical demos and a clear look at where the GitHub platform is heading next: Copilot!
Cannot wait to try these ideas into our day-to-day work. #GitHub #Copilot

GitHub Wrapped 2025 is live!
The majority of my work was dedicated to #csharp, with some contributions to @openfeature.dev and @aspire.dev. My sample work is available at github.com/askpt/openfe... where I showcase both technologies working side by side.

Dev Containers: Removing Friction to Accelerate Contributor Onboarding What if every potential open source contributor could go from “git clone” to their first real code change in under five minutes?

Onboarding a new project shouldn’t mean wrestling with local setup. I introduced devcontainers for OpenFeature so contributors can open the repo and start coding with a fully configured environment.
New blog post is live: medium.com/@askpt/dev-c... #DevContainers #DevExperience #OpenSource #GitHub

flagd hosting extensions - Aspire Learn about the Aspire Community Toolkit flagd hosting extensions package which provides functionality to host flagd feature flag evaluation containers.

I created a new integration: Aspire Hosting Flagd for .NET Aspire! Run flagd containers, set up @openfeature.dev flags and keep your app flexible. Check it out on learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet.... Feature flagging for your distributed .NET apps, made simple.
#aspire #dotnet #csharp #cloudnative

Not .NET related but the new goodies in Aspire 13 for the integrations (specially the endpoints) are so good. Need to test a bit more to see how it behaves in the integration I built 😁

What’s New in C# 14: Transforming .NET Coding C# 14 is here, and it’s packed with updates designed to make your code cleaner, faster, and more enjoyable to write.

I’ve written a fresh post on what’s new in C# 14 for .NET 10. Extension blocks, better null checks, and cleaner APIs. Lots to love for devs. See my breakdown for key features and how they help your workflow.

Building Secure Package Pipelines Modern software supply chain security. This post highlights OIDC authentication, SBOM generation, cryptographic attestations and more.

I wrote about building secure package pipelines: OIDC auth, SBOMs, cryptographic attestations, and multi-platform CI.

Modern supply chain security is more accessible than you think.
