Both tools come from Microsoft, both target AI agent development, and both integrate with the broader .NET ecosystem -- but they serve different use cases, carry different trade-offs, and sit at very different points in their maturity lifecycle.

April 04, 2026It’s a secret to everyone! This post is for RSS subscribers only. Read more about RSS Club. I’ve heard the term “Ozempic face” for awhile. People have opinions about that one, but I tend to feel like we should be comfortable with bodies changing. There’s also “Ozempic butt” and there’s even “Ozempic penis”.

April 04, 2026About five months ago I wrote about Absurd, a durable execution system we built for our own use at Earendil, sitting entirely on top of Postgres and Postgres alone. The pitch was simple: you don’t need a separate service, a compiler plugin, or an entire runtime to get durable workflows. You need a SQL file and a thin SDK. Since then we’ve been running it in production, and I figured it’s worth sharing what the experience has been like. The short version: the design held up, the system has bee... Take me to this post.
