Bruno Capuano shows a local .NET pipeline that turns podcast audio into SRT or WebVTT subtitles. Whisper handles speech recognition and timestamps, while the s1-mini model only cleans each cue's text, so timing stays untouched. The post also covers the limits he found with long Spanish recordings.
Maarten Balliauw shows how to add a Server-Timing response header in ASP.NET Core so database and external API timings appear in browser DevTools next to the network timings. The post builds a small middleware, a measurement feature that endpoints can use, and ways to reuse OpenTelemetry Activity data. It also covers gating the header so internal timings are not exposed to every caller.
Amp now lets you run its orbs, the remote machines where coding agents do their work, on your own infrastructure. The amp orb provider command relays spawn, pause, and delete requests from Amp to a dispatch program you write. Teams that want agents on their own servers should note the setup model and the October 29 pricing change.
Obfuscators rename members and types, and Json.NET reads those CLR names to write JSON keys and $type discriminators, so payloads change without any error. The article explains how to pin wire names with [JsonProperty], [EnumMember] and a stable ISerializationBinder, and how to test the protected build.
Copilot Autofix for GitHub Advanced Security in Azure DevOps now runs on an agentic foundation. It proposes fixes as pull requests for code scanning alerts from third-party tools and for dependency vulnerabilities. Your team still makes the final merge decision, so the fixes need to be reviewed like any other change.
Microsoft has released a public preview of dotnetup, a cross-platform tool that installs and updates .NET SDKs and runtimes in the user's own directory without admin rights. It follows channels such as latest, lts and preview, reads global.json, and cleans up unused installs. Commands may still change before general availability.
Schemity, a desktop ERD tool, read two real SQLite schemas, Campfire on Rails 8 and Jellyfin on EF Core 10, and rebuilt database files from the SQL it wrote. Before the fixes, declared column types, partial and expression indexes and AUTOINCREMENT settings were lost. The post is a useful case study for anyone who edits or migrates SQLite schemas with a tool.
The Critter Stack team has described the test automation strategy behind Bobcat, its new spec-driven integration testing framework for .NET. The post, written by Jeremy Miller, lays out practices for tests that ship confidence, are cheap to write, run fast, stay reliable and explain their failures. It is a useful reference for .NET teams who want their CI results to be trusted as a merge gate.
SharpLsp 0.30 adds Razor support to its VS Code C# extension. Blazor .razor components and Razor Pages or MVC .cshtml views now get Roslyn hover, completion, diagnostics, go to definition, references and rename. For Blazor work in VS Code, this closes much of the editing gap with Visual Studio.
Benjamin Abt explains how the .NET SDK's PublishContainer target can build an OCI image for ASP.NET Core services without a Dockerfile and deliver it to a registry, an archive or a local runtime. The article offers a practical rule for when SDK publishing fits and when a Dockerfile still makes sense.
The GitHub Copilot SDK lets you keep GitHub's agent runtime while routing model inference to your own Microsoft Foundry or Azure OpenAI deployment through BYOK. The article walks through a .NET 10 console sample that configures ProviderConfig, authenticates with Microsoft Entra ID or an API key, and sends one prompt.
Nick Cosentino explains how to set up C# code intelligence in Claude Code through the csharp-lsp plugin and where that setup stops being reliable. The article separates the language server, the plugin and the workspace as three layers to verify, and it clarifies what diagnostics and symbol navigation can and cannot prove. It is a practical checklist for .NET developers using Claude Code on C# repositories.
