  • Episode 136 - Using AI to Generate Test Data
    2025/07/11

    So, a slightly boring episode but surprisingly useful, I think.

    Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions.

    Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here!

    Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?):

  • Episode 134 - VSCode AI Toolkit
    2025/06/28

    Using VS Code (free and open source) along with the AI Toolkit extension allows you to play with several different AI models as well as local models - all from one user interface. Yes, you can run AI models locally! (okay, not the larger online ones!) and certainly the SLM (small language models) models like PHI-4 from Microsoft.

    You can even get into building AI agents visually and generate actual code!

    You don’t have to be a developer - this stuff is easy enough to use if you are curious about this sort of thing. If you want some guidance or examples of what you can do, just ping over a comment and I will be happy to help.

  • Episode 133 - Microsoft AI Extensions MCPs and Azure AI Foundry Local
    2025/06/20

    What does all this mean?

    Microsoft AI Extensions: An abstract set of classes to enable a c# .Net developer to talk to different AI models/platforms instead of specific individual frameworks. Also allows you to create and interact with MCP (model context protocol).

    MCP: Model Context Protocol - soooo many resources out there now. I did an episode on MCP a few podcasts ago if you want to take a look/listen.

    Azure AI Foundry Local: A bit like Ollama allowing you to run AI models locally :)

    How easy is it to create AI agents? without code (or at least minimal!)?

    Take a listen as we refresh our memories with n8n.io. Build automation workflows but specifically AI agent-based ones! all this locally or on your infrastructure too!

  • Episode 131 - Tick Tick: The endless search for the perfect ToDo app
    2025/06/05

    Well, I have been trying to settle on some day-to-day tools i.e. OneNote for my note taking (don’t shoot me!) and I did have Todoist for tracking my endless lists of things to either “really do” or attempt to capture for later (yeah right!).

    Although there are lots of choice, and that is a good thing, I thought with Todoist I had found the perfect “ToDo” app (or just a large bucket of broken dreams!). No problem with Todoist at all, but I came across Tick Tick and dismissed it a few times.

    About 6 months ago I figured I would give Tick Tick a try. Anyway, have a listen if you want to find out how that went.

    No affiliates or selling here, just info from my perspective :)

  • Episode 130 - AI Code Custom Instructions
    2025/06/01

    So, are you “vibe coding”? or just asking AI to help with some code?

    Have you come across custom instructions for VS Code? Windsurf and Cursor AI etc. all of their options too.

    Provide a preset app requirements and/or product requirements document (PRD) and you can make building apps with AI a bit more predictable and follow your guidelines about the tech stack you want to use, testing approach etc.
