I've just published my walkthrough of solving a classic UK game show segment using uninformed search - https://blog.newman.digital/posts/2025/11/solving-number-problems-with-ai/ with a discussion as to how we can make this ability available to GitHub Copilot via an MCP server. https://blog.newman.digital/posts/2025/11/solving-number-problems-with-ai/with17 Nov 2025 08:49 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5stprobss2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3m3dvkgrcg225Using AI to write your tests requires your software to be both complete and correct. These are dangerous assumptions to make. Go test first and let the genie help you make them pass.16 Oct 2025 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dvkgrcg225https://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3lzdwhzkbv223Nice to have some .NET 10 in production :)21 Sep 2025 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzdwhzkbv223https://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3ljd66gy2dk2kJust an unbelievable week. Hoping that Europe and the UK can step up and lead the free world as the US has (hopefully temporarily) decided to tread a different path.01 Mar 2025 14:49 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljd66gy2dk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3ld3tcaakfs2eI’ve got some serious catching up to do with #adventofcode. Busy with family and Christmas preparation stuff. I must collect more stars over the weekend! Learning a lot with Python though, definitely helps increasing language skill.

I’m struggling with forming a mental model around auth works in conjunction with the different modes, esp. with deep linking. For example, if I have a mixture of SSR, Interactive Server and Wasm with [Authorize] on various components (routed and otherwise). 1/228 Nov 2024 08:55 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbyoz2pndk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3lbw4raiw322pI had a wonderful time for Dragon Age the Veilguard. The game runs great, is fun to play, looks amazing, and I enjoyed the story. My companions lacking a health pool led to some attrition-based boss encounters (always bring a healer), but by and large it’s a great game that I happily recommend 8/10.27 Nov 2024 08:23 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbw4raiw322phttps://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3laszj7tuzs22Updated some blazor wasm to .net 9, and took advantage of the new static file handling. Only odd thing I had was needing to add a new h1 { outline: none; } style. All deployed to container apps via pulumi and tested via playwright. Great stuff.13 Nov 2024 09:22 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3laszj7tuzs22https://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3laqgrt6jts2sDeactivated my account from the other place, updated my website to link here instead.12 Nov 2024 08:41 +0000at://did:plc:63uhib2yl4fff4oe3ttxuewf/app.bsky.feed.post/3laqgrt6jts2shttps://bsky.app/profile/newman.digital/post/3la23cpsiu22tQualifying is quite the ride today.
