What a second day at Azure Dev Summit 2025 in Lisbon My main takeaways: • Scott Hanselman and Scott Hunter: The next 25 years of software engineering. AI won’t replace developers, it will augment them. • Maarten Balliauw: HTMX and ASP.NET Core. A simpler path to interactivity without heavy front-end frameworks. • James Montemagno: Building secure and scalable MCP servers. Model Context Protocol connects agents and APIs safely. • Chris Ayers: The Well-Architected Architect. Make trade-offs explicit and measurable across cost, reliability, security, and performance. • Andrew Westgarth: .NET Aspire for AI apps. Easier orchestration, observability, and AI integration in modern .NET. My reflection: • MCP and .NET Aspire are shaping how we assemble architectures faster and take prototypes to production. • The center of gravity is shifting from writing code to composing intelligent, observable systems. • Architecture is back at the core of software engineering. #AzureDevSummit #AgenticAI #Azure #DotNet #MCP #Aspire #Architecture #Microsoft

🌟 Crossjoin Academy: Personal Breakthroughs and Efficient Self-Mastery Our Crosser, Diogo Mucharrinha, joined as a DevOps Engineer, but describes his Academy experience with one word: growth. While his technical project focused on Automatic Incident Monitoring and Remediation, his most significant development was in his soft skills. Diogo highlights two crucial areas of personal growth that the Academy nurtured: Overcoming Personal Barriers: "I received the necessary 'push' to understand and confront the fear I had of presenting." This is one of the two skills that most advanced his career. Optimized Self-Improvement: The other key skill he developed was learning how to guide self-criticism to efficiently address flaws. These breakthroughs were enabled by a safe learning environment that offered a crucial lesson on process management: "A key highlight was learning, safely and firsthand, how misaligned expectations and ignoring our Methodology affect a consultant's efficiency." For Diogo, the Academy is where continuous follow-up and personal analysis truly transform the consultant. His final piece of advice: "Make the most of the tools that are provided and enter the Academy with a willingness to learn and improve." Join us and discover a program that invests in your holistic growth! 🎓 #CrossjoinAcademy #PersonalDevelopment #SelfCriticism #ITCareer #Methodology #DevOps #Crossjoin

You're starting a job in the software team at Shapeways. You'd expect to be diving into the code, right? Not so fast. When new engineers join Tiago São José's team at Shapeways, they don’t start by writing code. Instead, they spend a day in production — packing boxes, shipping orders and using the tools they’ll be developing. Because developing the best software comes from understanding how its used in the real world, and knowing the people who use it. ▶️ In this clip, Tiago explains why empathy is at the heart of engineering.
