With the features in Azure AI Foundry, and the release of the Microsoft Agent Framework, a guide for startup founders that pulls everything together would be valuable. Below, I’ve drafted a sample TOC... I’d love your feedback. 😍 P.S. Credit to Google’s Startup Technical Guide for influence.

Excited about Microsoft Agent Framework: devblogs.microsoft.com/foundry/intr... Currenly Microsoft has probably the most mature AI toolkit in the industry.

I just discovered that VMware Worstation Pro is now a free software! @vmware.bsky.social ... and is working great on top of @microsoft.com Hyper-V on Windows 11 Pro. Now you can have WSL2, Hyper-V and VMware all at the same time.

Marian Veteanu @mveteanu.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

When WSL2 isn’t sufficient, you can take advantage of full Hyper-V (available on Windows 11 Pro) to run custom virtual machines. While Hyper-V may not offer all the refinements of VMware, it remains a robust and reliable solution for Windows.

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, I vibe-coded a quick little game where you blast flying burgers and hotdogs 🍔🌭. It's lighthearted, festive, and a fun way to pass the time before the fireworks. Play it here (optimized for laptops) codeguppy.com/run.html?bLc... Will you blast your way to BBQ glory?

I wrote a book—not a big deal, just an illustrated JavaScript coding course for the whole family. The book has caught the attention of a publisher, but I’m not sure if I’ll go down that road just yet... ➡️ For now, enjoy the self-published edition: www.lulu.com/shop/marian-...

If you've figured out how to exit Vim, here's your next challenge: run a code assistant in the terminal. P.S. By the way - they run great under WSL. Question is why run a code assistant in terminal unless you're debugging a legacy code base in production on a Win 2000 VM?

When your product starts to gain traction, everyone has a request: Sales, CS, enterprise clients. But if you build by demand alone, you’ll lose clarity, and ultimately, product identity. See how product leaders can lead the roadmap and not just follow the noise. 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/faster...

Home users, hobbyists, and aspiring entrepreneurs need a visual way to build apps. Not another clunky no-code/low-code platform, but a modern environment featuring a UI builder, sleek widgets, and clean, low-boilerplate code in a beginner-friendly language. AI? That’s the cherry on top. Feedback?

If you're building a modern SaaS, think beyond the UI. Prioritize APIs, automation, and AI integration. Treat integrations as a core product surface. The more integration-ready you are, the more indispensable your SaaS becomes. Want help with you integration strategy or adding MCP? Let’s connect.

FUZE4 is great! It continues the legacy of 8-bit computers in many ways, allowing you to code directly on the device and use a modern version of BASIC, among other features. P.S. Here I used a mini Switch keyboard with it.
