In my previous post, I explained why many Azure DevOps users should consider moving to GitHub. This guide will help you make that transition smoothly and efficiently. This post focuses on helping you make informed decisions throughout the migration process. Rather than providing exhaustive step-by-step details for every scenario, I’ll highlight key considerations and link to official documentation where appropriate. I’ll also share my recommendations on what to move, how to structure your GitHub organization, and which migration approaches to use....

I’ve used Azure DevOps and its predecessors since 2007. It’s been an incredible journey, evolving from the classic TFS (Team Foundation Server) with TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control) to today’s Azure DevOps with Git. Features like Boards, Repos, and Pipelines have been part of my daily workflow for years, and it’s been fantastic. But like everything in tech, it might be time to evolve. In this post, I’ll explore why you should consider moving from Azure DevOps to GitHub....

Over the past two years, I have worked extensively with Azure Container Apps (ACA) and have gained valuable insights into its capabilities and limitations. In this post, I share ten key lessons learned from real-world experience. 1. You get much of Kubernetes without the added complexity Azure Container Apps provides a streamlined way to run containerized applications without the overhead of managing Kubernetes infrastructure. It abstracts away much of the operational complexity, allowing developers to focus on building and deploying applications....

I’ve been a fan of Svelte for a while. It’s fast, elegant, and works nicely with SvelteKit. But like any tool, it comes with maintenance overhead. For larger applications, that overhead is worth it. But for smaller projects—like Sharp Cert Manager, which only has a single page and a popup—the cost felt too high. In fact, I found myself spending more time upgrading Svelte or Vite than it would take to simply rewrite the page....

When I first designed Sharp Cooking, my goal was to provide smart features that other cooking apps lacked. Features like unit conversion (e.g., cups to grams) and recipe suggestions based on the ingredients you have at home were at the core of my vision. Over time, some of these features have been gradually implemented, but it’s been a challenging journey. Before large language models (LLMs) became widely accessible, using AI for these features was a significant challenge....
