Mads is a Principal Product Manager on the Visual Studio team at Microsoft, where he champions developer productivity, performance, and extensibility. With a deep passion for streamlining the development experience, Mads has created dozens of widely used Visual Studio extensions — including Web Essentials, File Nesting, and Markdown Editor v2 — and maintains the Extensibility Essentials toolkit to empower other developers to build better tools. Mads brings over a decade of experience in web development on the Microsoft platform. He is also the founder of SchemaStore.org and a home automation enthusiast. Known for his engaging presentations and hands-on insights, Mads is a frequent speaker at developer conferences worldwide. He lives in the Pacific Northwest and his mission is simple: to make Visual Studio the most delightful development environment on the planet.   Topics of Discussion: [2:38] More about Mads' career journey at Microsoft. [5:14] The new and improved Visual Studio. [7:44] Backwards compatibility is a key feature — .NET solutions will still work across different Visual Studio versions. [8:55] How Microsoft's strategy differentiates between Visual Studio and VS Code. [10:42] Visual Studio is the premier development environment for .NET and C# on Windows, offering the most comprehensive and optimized experience. While VS Code can handle .NET development, it's not as feature-rich or performant as the full Visual Studio. [12:58] Visual Studio has moved to a monthly release cadence to be more competitive with VS Code's frequent updates. [13:48] Deep AI integration in Visual Studio allows for context-aware assistance, including a new profiler agent that can help optimize code performance. [23:53] Compilation performance is improved in Visual Studio 2026. [26:35] The new profiler agent can be invoked through Copilot chat, running benchmarks and suggesting performance improvements scientifically. [30:30] Developers can create custom MCP servers to integrate private systems and databases with AI tools using a project template. [35:39] The AI coding agent in Visual Studio can work autonomously or with developer supervision, creating pull requests or working alongside the developer. [39:11] Visual Studio's Copilot can be used as a companion to bounce ideas off, helping with architectural decisions and new feature explorations.   Mentioned in this Episode: Clear Measure Way Architect Forum Software Engineer Forum Mads Kristensen on LinkedIn @mkristensen on X Mads Kristensen JSON Schema Store Visual Studio   Want to Learn More?

[7:44] Tony shares his approach to unit testing, focusing on covering 80% of the code with minimal effort and addressing the remaining 20% as needed. [8:51] The importance of not over-investing in unit tests that may not provide significant value. [11:47] Tony explains how Ncrunch provides code coverage metrics and visual indicators of covered and uncovered code. [12:59] The tool's ability to show exactly where unit tests are failing, without needing to dive into stack traces. [13:51] Distributed processing and integration tests. [27:44] The challenges of running integration tests with external dependencies, such as databases. [29:18] Exploratory testing and code quality.

Today's guest is Jon Peppers, Principal Software Engineer on the .NET MAUI team at Microsoft. Before building developer tools, Jonathan was a Xamarin MVP and the lead developer behind various cross-platform Maui apps. With a deep background in C#, from WPF-based self-checkout systems to home automation software featured on Extreme Home Makeover, Jonathan brings a wealth of experience in both app development and the frameworks that power them.   Topics of Discussion: [1:59] Jonathan recounts his first job after college, working on C# for self-checkout software and migrating to WPF. [4:40] How much on the continuum are we right now with Copilot agent mode? [7:11]  The process of setting up Maui development, including installing Visual Studio and the Maui workload. [12:40] Using Copilot for multi-language debugging. [18:42]  Copilot's effectiveness in deleting unnecessary files and finding errors in string localization files. [19:10] Copilot coding agent. [21:20] The process of assigning issues to Copilot, which creates a branch, opens a pull request, and updates the description with its plan. [27:36]  The availability of different models in VS Code, including Claude and GPT, and the anticipation of new models being released. [31:36] The potential for using LLMs on-device for privacy concerns, especially in healthcare. [35:01] Jonathan encourages developers to try Copilot in their IDEs and explore its code completions and suggestions. [35:17] Jonathan's Cat Swipe dating site!   Mentioned in this Episode: Clear Measure Way Architect Forum Software Engineer Forum How the .NET Maui Team uses GitHub Copilot for Productivity Jonathan on LinkedIn Jonathan Peppers   Want to Learn More?

Burke Holland is a Principal Developer Advocate at Microsoft who leads the Developer Tools Advocacy team. He's done so much in developer tools, like growing VS Code from 6M to 40M+ users. He's a frequent speaker at conferences like Microsoft Build, Ignite, GitHub Universe, QCon, and VS Code Day, which he helped create. He's led many product launches for GitHub Copilot, Codespaces, and more. He has a very popular YouTube channel talking about developer tech.   Topics of Discussion: [3:33] Burke describes his transition from being a good developer to an evangelist, inspired by a Visual Studio evangelist he met. [6:27] The rapid pace of change in the software development world compared to other industries. [9:22] AI-driven development and the various modes available in VS Code, including ask mode, edit mode, and agent mode. [15:41] Burke describes the current moment in AI developer tooling — no one really knows yet what the end product is supposed to be. Everyone agrees AI will help developers, but exactly how is still being figured out. [16:39] What are the right questions to ask AI? [17:41] The importance of providing the AI with the right context to ensure accurate and efficient development. [25:05] AI's unpredictability makes it difficult to rely on it for consistent development tasks, which is frustrating and foreign to most developers. [32:18] Burke explains that while local AI models can handle small, scoped tasks like generating a function's contents, they still fall far short of the performance needed for more complex jobs compared to models like GPT-4 or Claude. [37:18] Co-Pilot's competition. [38:23] Inspiration to people that as long as you are the software architect, you can do anything.   Mentioned in this Episode: Clear Measure Way Architect Forum Software Engineer Forum Programming with Palermo — New Video Podcast!

RJJ Software's Software Development Service This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Software Development Services, whether your company is looking to elevate its UK operations or reshape its US strategy, we can provide tailored solutions that exceed expectations. Show Notes "So the cloud adoption framework actually has a lot of steps for organizations or IT teams to start assessing their existing environments first and planning the stage before they modernise and migrate to Azure. And then the well-architected framework allows the team, whoever is involved, developers, engineers, or architects, working in that migration project to think how they're going to think about architecting for the cloud in a way that it meets all the pillars in terms of resiliency, performance, architecture, and everything. Security, for example, that they need to think about."— Jonah Andersson Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie “GaProgMan” Taylor. In this episode, which is the final one of season 7, Jonah Andersson joins us to talk all things Azure, the many pathways involved in migrating and modernising .NET applications, and publishing to the cloud. "So one tool that I actually highly recommend when it comes to .NET, there is a plug-in for Visual Studio, actually, for .NET, and even, I think, with Java. There';s a tool called AppCAT plugin, and it's like a modernization tool that is part of the Azure Migrate that allows .NET developers who are ever working in a migration project with .NET, that they can add a plugin in Visual Studio and they can assess their existing source code, .NET source code, based on the well-architected framework, if it's ready or not, or there are gaps in the code."— Jonah Andersoon Along the way, we talk about Jonah's podcast "Extend Women in Tech Podcast" (which I would highly recommend), and her book "Learning Microsoft Azure: Cloud Computing and Development Fundamentals" and why she chose to write it. Anyway, without further ado, let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

En este episodio de Vida Digital, Alex Neuman conversa con Miguel Bechara, director comercial de Konzerta, sobre las aspiraciones salariales en tecnología para el primer cuatrimestre 2025. Bechara explica que, mientras el promedio general de los sueldos pretendidos en Panamá cayó 2,15 %, las posiciones tech semi-senior y senior subieron 7,2 %, reflejando la alta demanda y la escasez de talento especializado. También detalla por qué muchos empleadores vuelven al trabajo 100 % presencial (42 % de las empresas) y, a la vez, cómo el trabajo remoto internacional sigue “exportando” profesionales panameños cuando las bandas salariales globales resultan más atractivas.Otros temas clave:Certificaciones emergentes (AWS, Azure, ciberseguridad, ciencia de datos) como filtro principal para validar experiencia real frente a títulos universitarios que se desactualizan rápido. Solo 32 % de las compañías locales usan IA en sus procesos; las oportunidades crecen en tareas repetitivas y generación de contenido, dejando espacio para que el talento se forme antes de que la ola sea masiva. Cómo negociar pretensiones salariales sin “auto-descartarse”: mostrar proyectos, certificaciones y soft-skills para cuadrar con la banda salarial de la empresa. Consejos rápidos para 12 meses: reforzar bases (SQL Server, Visual Studio, reporting), obtener al menos una certificación de nube o IA aplicada, y practicar en proyectos reales para destacar. ¡Suscríbete para más entrevistas sobre tendencias tecnológicas y comparte este video con colegas que quieran mejorar su estrategia de carrera!

How will coding agents change your code? While at Build, Carl and Richard chatted with Scott Hunter about the announcements around coding agents at the keynote. Scott talks about the agent mode available in Visual Studio Code - and now in Visual Studio! Agent mode allows the LLM to evaluate the code across an entire solution, not just the file you're currently looking at. You can create a workflow where GitHub issues are assigned to the agent, which then generates code and provides a pull request for evaluation. The agents are here and helping us do more!

Mayday. Mayday. May Patch Tuesday? This month's episode dives into four key Windows vulnerabilities you need to address — from scripting engine memory corruption in legacy Internet Explorer components to remote code execution risks in Remote Desktop and Visual Studio. Ryan Braunstein and Mat Lee unpack what each CVE means for your environment, how attackers might exploit them, and what you can do to stay secure. If your org still leans on that one app tied to Internet Explorer, relies heavily on RDP, or builds with Visual Studio, this one's for you.

Varun Mohan is the co-founder and CEO of Windsurf (formerly Codeium), an AI-powered development environment (IDE) that has been used by over 1 million developers in just four months and has quickly emerged as a leader in transforming how developers build software. Prior to finding success with Windsurf, the company pivoted twice—first from GPU virtualization infrastructure to an IDE plugin, and then to their own standalone IDE.In this conversation, you'll learn:1. Why Windsurf walked away from a profitable GPU infrastructure business and bet the company on helping engineers code2. The surprising UI discovery that tripled adoption rates overnight.3. The secret behind Windsurf's B2B enterprise plan, and why they invested early in an 80-person sales team despite conventional startup wisdom.4. How non-technical staff at Windsurf built their own custom tools instead of purchasing SaaS products, saving them over $500k in software costs5. Why Varun believes 90% of code will be AI-generated, but engineering jobs will actually increase6. How training on millions of incomplete code samples gives Windsurf an edge, and creates a moat long-term7.
