How big task can you drive with Codex / GPT 5.5? Turns out, quite a big. For a fun experiment I let it port .NET runtime to PowerPC. Why? To learn if I could do a multi-month/year job in weeks in a code base that is well documented and exceptionally well covered in tests. github.com/dotnet/runti...

I'm playing with the new Ultra profiler by Alexandre Mutel and I'm blown away. It's incredible. It's so powerful and showing me managed, native, JIT, GC, allocations, everything. It feels like I have a new superpower. If you're a .NET developer, you have to check this out: github.com/xoofx/ultra
