Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Package Management in 2026 with Gary Ewan Park
Q: What is the wackiest tech support ticket you ever saw for Chocolatey?
Gary recounts a ticket involving a bug with the SMA assembly on Windows Server 2012, which he resolved by debugging the assembly and resetting an array, showcasing his commitment to supporting even older operating systems.
Valuable Testing with Egil Hansen
Q: Did they actually have the ad sign back when the first e-mail was sent out?
Yes, the ad symbol was included in the original e-mail structure, so it did exist back then.
Digging Deeper into .NET Aspire with Chris Klug
Q: Do you see a relationship between Dapr and Aspire?
They are different but can work well together.
Digging Deeper into .NET Aspire with Chris Klug
Q: What is the most essential service that .NET Aspire gives you?
The ability to run multiple services locally for debugging.
Visual Studio 2026 with Mads Kristensen
Q: But I don't know if that's really true. What do you think about that?
No, that has some truth to it, for sure. But also, Visual Studio is over 28 years old. And so there's some things that have just evolved over time, like some debt that has been building up.
