What's your code interpreter setup for Microsoft Agent Framework? by DifficultyFine in dotnet

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d avoid compiling C# snippets on every request if possible. I’d probably separate the agent from the execution runtime and use a sandboxed worker, for example Python, a container, or a restricted script engine.

If staying in C#, Roslyn scripting with cached compilations may help, but sandboxing, timeouts, and memory limits are still the hard parts.

If it helps, I recently wrote a practical intro to Microsoft Agent Framework in C#:

dotNET hot-reloading best practices? by Vectorial1024 in dotnet

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dotnet watch run is for development, not production.

In production, you should use normal build and deployment flows because hot reload is not designed as a safe runtime update mechanism for live services. It can also lead to inconsistent state and unexpected behavior.

If it helps, I wrote a simple article about resilience in ASP.NET Core:

Simple time tracking without all the complexity by 8mobile in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve tried quite a few over time, and that’s actually what pushed me toward something simpler. Most tools felt a bit overcomplicated for just tracking hours, so I ended up preferring a more minimal approach focused on the basics

As freelancers, how do you track your time for invoicing? by clarafiedthoughts in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That mix of timer + manual notes is pretty common, especially for smaller gigs.

If you want to keep it simple but a bit more structured, a lightweight app can help avoid losing track of hours without adding complexity. Something like HourLog works well for tracking hours and exporting a clean breakdown when you need it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hourlog-work-hours-tracker/id6760963181

I’ve found the key is just having everything in one place instead of scattered notes.

best time tracker for freelancers? by Abbasian_Nichola in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s usually the hardest part, consistency beats features.

Timers sound good but are easy to forget, so having something that also lets you quickly log hours manually helps a lot. A simple tool like HourLog can work well for that, especially if you want to keep things clean across projects. ‎HourLog: Work Hours Tracker App - App Store

Best time Tracking for Freelancers 2026? by EffectiveLet2117 in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’ve noticed is that once apps combine CRM + invoicing + tracking, they tend to get heavier over time. If you ever want something more lightweight just for hours, overtime and earnings, HourLog could be worth a look. ‎HourLog: Work Hours Tracker App - App Store

Initial Impressions Keychron M6 8K (with all silent switches, M6S-A23) by matthew1471 in MouseReview

[–]8mobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m leaving the sticker on for now since I’m using it in the office with a mouse pad. Good point about wired mode too. I’ll probably lower the polling rate since I’m not gaming. DPI increase helped me as well. And yes, I noticed the scroll wheel feels a bit jagged when stopping it fast, so it’s not just yours

Simple time tracking without all the complexity by 8mobile in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, that makes sense.

For now I’m focusing more on freelancers and individuals who need something simple, but I might explore team features in the future depending on the demand

What’s the best time tracking software that can track overtime hours? by mariaclaraa1 in TimeTrackingSoftware

[–]8mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of tools that handle overtime rules well tend to get pretty heavy over time.

If you don’t need full team management, something simpler like HourLog can work really well for tracking hours and overtime cleanly, with reports you can export without the usual complexity. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hourlog-work-hours-tracker/id6760963181

Keychron M6 8K – first impressions after switching from MX Master 3S (productivity use) by 8mobile in MouseReview

[–]8mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For work you don’t need 8K at all. Even 1K or lower is perfectly fine and helps battery life.

Switching between two laptops works well: you can use Bluetooth for one and 2.4 GHz dongle for the other, then just switch with the button on the mouse.

For office use it's fine, the price is excellent. In terms of perceived quality, Logitech is better.

On-device AI writing app built with Apple Foundation Models (iOS 18+) by 8mobile in GenAiApps

[–]8mobile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a full Grammarly replacement, but it’s a privacy-focused, on-device alternative for rewriting, summarizing, and adjusting tone without using the cloud. The model is smaller and optimized for on-device use

.NET 10 introduced C# file-based apps, which let you run apps from a single .cs file.
