Build an ASP.NET Core AI Assistant API with GitHub Copilot SDK in C#
When you build an ASP.NET Core AI Assistant API with GitHub Copilot SDK in C#, you get all the SDK patterns -- lifecycle management, streaming, tools -- wrapped in a REST interface that any client can call. You're not limited to console apps or a single runtime; any frontend, mobile app, or service that speaks HTTP can now talk to GitHub Copilot. This article walks every layer of that integration, from project setup through SSE streaming and AIFunctionFactory tools. What We're Building: an ASP.N... Take me to this post.

March 24, 2026Decorator Pattern Real-World Example in C#: Complete Implementation
Decorator Pattern Real-World Example in C#: Complete Implementation Most decorator pattern tutorials wrap a "Pizza" or "Coffee" class with toppings and call it a day. That's fine for learning the mechanics, but it doesn't help you solve the problems you actually run into at work. This article takes a completely different approach. We'll build a decorator pattern real-world example in C# from scratch -- a production-grade HTTP client service layered with logging, caching, retry logic, and circuit... Take me to this post.

March 24, 2026Restoring a 2018 iPad Pro
This was surprisingly hard to find—hat tip to Reddit’s Nakkokaro and xBl4ck. Apple’s instructions for restoring an iPad Pro (3rd generation, 2018) seem to be wrong; both me and an Apple Store technician found that the Finder, at least in Tahoe, won’t show the iPad once it reboots in recovery mode. The trick seems to be that you need to unplug the cable, start the reset process, and during the reset, plug the cable back in: Unplug the USB cable from the iPad. Tap volume-up Tap volume-down Begin ... Take me to this post.
March 24, 2026CodeSOD: The Barren Fields
Today, it's not exactly the code that was bad. For some time, a government agency had been collecting information from users using fillable PDF forms. The user would submit the form, and then a data entry clerk would copy the text from the form into a database. This, of course, raised the question: why was someone manually riding the copy/paste button? Sally was tasked with automating this. The data is already in a digital format, so it should be easy to use a PDF library to parse out the entere... Take me to this post.

March 24, 2026Signed: A Portfolio for Investors
Awhile back I asked my friend Leah Culver about how she tracks angel investments, because I was just getting into angel investing and it seemed weird that everyone just had some shitty spreadsheet setup to keep track of all this stuff: Anyway, her answer was “a spreadsheet”. And that was the same for all the others I asked then, too. That was seven years ago. I always figured all these rich angels and VCs who were deep into futuristic next-generation technology would spur some clever tool to... Take me to this post.
