Build an AI Task Planner with Semantic Kernel in C#
Build an AI Task Planner with Semantic Kernel in C#
Yesterday I walked through building an AI Code Review Bot with Semantic Kernel using ChatCompletionAgent and autonomous tool dispatch. Today the pattern is deliberately different. Building an AI task planner with Semantic Kernel in C# means we want a fixed, ordered workflow -- analyze a goal, break it into phases, prioritize with effort estimates -- and that's exactly where sequential pipelines outperform agents.
This post walks through the com...

The Net Sum of Love
Jules’ heart was such that he loved all ecosystems. All that was nature, he loved. But it is the nature of love that “all” does not mean “equally” and he loved his native land the most.“Jules, this is all the budget they are going to assign to ecological engineering. If you want to keep the forest reclamation project funded you can’t keep pushing for the others.”Consider: Is it better for the weak to ally with each other against the strong who oppresses them or to betray the former to the latter...

Prototype Pattern Real-World Example in C#: Complete Implementation
Prototype Pattern Real-World Example in C#: Complete Implementation
The Prototype pattern is a creational design pattern that enables object creation through cloning. This real-world example demonstrates a complete implementation of the Prototype pattern in C# using a game object system. You'll see how the Prototype pattern in C# solves practical problems with a full, working example that you can apply to your own projects.
Understanding a real-world example of the Prototype pattern in C# helps ...

Error'd: @#$%^!!
Here's a weird email but IMO the erorr is just the odd strikethrough.
Bill T.
explains:
"From my Comcast email spam folder. It was smart enough to detect it was spam, but... spam from a trusted sender? And either the delivery truck is an emoji (possible), an embedded image (maybe?), or Comcast is not actually blocking external images." I'd like to see the actual email, could you
forward it to us? My guess is that we're seeing a rare embedded image. Since embedding images was the whole poi...

Can MCP choose my outfit?
When I was a kid, one of my first Java applets was a UI for choosing outfits by mixing and matching different articles of clothing. Now, with the advent of agents and MCP, I realized that I could make a modern, more dynamic version: an MCP server that can find relevant clothing based off a user query, and render matching clothing as a slideshow. Let's walk through the experience and code powering it.
Searching for relevant clothing
After connecting VS Code to my closet MCP server, I ask a qu...
