Thanks Diana!! I’d love to join 💯
Last year I quit my full-time job to start a Developer Advocacy consulting business. I’d be happy to share my failures and successes so far!

The fastest, cheapest, and most private LLM call? The one that never leaves your phone 📱

🎉 Running On-Device LLMs in .NET MAUI 🎉
Apple Intelligence is an on-device, private LLM that costs $0 per token. It's not perfect (yet), but super easy to utilize thanks to Microsoft Maui Essentials AI.

Good question!
The docs say that Android + Windows support is coming.
Maybe @davidortinau could provide some more insight to its timeline?

Your LLM will eventually say something you really don't want it to say.
In .NET we can now unit test for that 💯
`ViolenceEvaluator` scores every response 0-7, and my test fails above a 1. `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Eval…` also catches Hate, Self-Harm + Prompt Injection before users ever see them.

Hello C# Friends!!
Has anybody tried @cognee_ with @claude_code? It's pretty cool!👇
We gave @Claude Code a memory that survives every session.
@TheCodeTraveler ran the same test twice on a real .NET API. Without cognee, a new session forgets every team rule. With our plugin, the agent answers from the knowledge graph.

"It works on my prompt" is the new "works on my machine"
Here's how to unit test an LLM that never gives the same response twice, using `Microsoft Extensions AI Evaluation`:
✅ Pre-trained LLMs grades the response
✅ EquivalenceEvaluator scores 1-5
How are you testing the AI features in your apps today?

One of my employees said that AI is good and bad
it can be a force multiplier and make people better
but more often than not, it just amplifies who they are, good and bad
