I've always had a bit of a prepper mindset, but never took much action towards really preparing for disasters.

The past few years have finally prodded me into some action.

First the pandemic convinced me to keep at least a small supply of essentials like food. I'm not preparing for the apocalypse, but I like to keep at least a week's worth of food on hand.

The past couple of weeks delivered a real one-two punch. Hurricanes Helene and Milton came through in a two week period.

Helene was a glancing blow to our area in central Florida, but it went on to utterly devastate my home region of Western North Carolina.

Milton was a direct hit on us here. When it passed our area, it was still a category 2 storm.

All of these events have prompted me to take action.

I'm really excited to return to DevFest Central Florida this year.

My topic this time will be Cloud Native Development with .NET Aspire.

Aspire is a relatively new offering from Microsoft that aims to make cloud native development a little bit easier.

It feels kind of like a hodge podge of things bundled together to help developers, and that's basically what it is. That is a good thing in my opinion.
