In this episode, we catch up with Damian Edwards at Microsoft Build! We talk about his journey from launching SignalR to shaping .NET Aspire, how performance became a core .NET culture shift, and what it's like being in the room for some of the biggest moments in .NET history. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from the early days of ASP.NET, how Aspire is simplifying cloud-native dev, and even gives us his thoughts on lightsabers, Blazor, and Blu-rays. It’s a deep dive into code, performance, and a galaxy not so far away.

Guest: 🎤 Damian Edwards – Principal Architect for .NET at Microsoft

Topics Discussed:

  • How SignalR started as a moonlighting project

  • The evolution of .NET performance culture

  • What makes Aspire a game-changer for cloud-native apps

  • Lessons learned from building Blazor and Razor

  • Scaling real-time systems (and yes, Halo used SignalR)

  • How Aspire smooths out local dev and onboarding

  • Thoughts on AI, accessibility, and the future of developer tooling

  • Star Wars hot takes (spoiler: no Kyber crystals required)

  • Building custom PCs and chasing that perfect dev setup
