Visual Studio 2026 Preview is Here

-
The next version of Visual Studio is now available (under Preview).

Visual Studio 2026

The current version was launched four years ago (in 2022). Many things have changed in terms of technology (e.g., AI, frontend technologies, cloud server management); this update is much needed. Happy to see that it's coming.

I am grateful for the current version. But VS Code has all the latest tools and attention. As much as I love VS Code, I hate switching between Visual Studio and VS Code just to enjoy some of the benefits it brings.

Here is the launch party of Visual Studio 2026. I couldn't be happier to see Mads Kristensen as the principal product manager of VS. This guy is a legend.

Waking Up Earlier. Three Months Reflection

-

I  gave myself a birthday gift - "To Wake Up at 6:15 am Everyday", on my last birthday (Jun 2024). This post is a short note and self-reflection for practicing it. I thought it would be hard to persist before I started it. But it went well. I felt a huge productivity boost in the first month because I suddenly made an additional one-and-a-half hour available daily. I used to wake up at 7:15 am but spent the time preparing myself to work (7:15 am to 8:00 am). Now, I wake up, brush, wash my face, get a coffee, and immediately jump to work. By 8:00 am, I have a full good one-and-a-half hour of uninterrupted work. The best part of all is on the weekends - I can now spare time to have weekend breakfast (usually after 9 am)  with Caren if she wants to eat out and not feel guilty. I'm a better leader because I spend time planning the work before I enter the office. I'm more well prepared. I had a lower focus after 2 pm, especially in the first two weeks. Fix it by making tho...
