Our Nov Akka .NET community standup is tomorrow and I'll be talking about Akka.Reminders - a new library that we can use to automatically wake up actors on one-time or recurring intervals to get them to do work.
Already used at large scale by our customers in finance, AI, etc.

Your actors sleep. Their reminders don't.View quoted post on X
Akka.Reminders wakes sharded @AkkaDotNet entities on a durable schedule — even after passivation or a restart.

I've been doing a lot with unions and railway-oriented programming (ish) in C#15 over the past week or so and the next thing I want to do is get unions as a generic constraint.
That will force a lot of developers and agents to fall into pits of success.

I sent this to a group text of friends this morning but I thought I could share it more widely.
RE: the economy, job market, and the 2026 election results
A big shock for me on Tuesday last week was realizing how bad people in general are hurting economically.
I’ve been hurting definitely at the grocery store, gas pump, mortgage expenses, but I thought a lot of my issues came from having six people under my roof and being self employed (insurance exposure and various other costs).
Apparently it’s way more intense and widespread than I was even aware of. I'm not surprised by the direction of the economic dissatisfaction, but I am by its magnitude.
A question I have about the economy. We’re supposedly at “full employment,” but:
- lots of people complain about not being able to find work (young people and tech especially)
- lots of employers have open positions that can’t be filled EVEN AFTER they raise salaries and benefits.
How do I reconcile those two conflicting narratives? Are the jobs misaligned with the people seeking them (i.e. lots of entry level jobs, but not for college grads)?
I have friends struggling to find positions in tech but I don't think I appreciate the gravity of how bad it is and how bad it is in other industries too.
Or is the issue here completely divorced from unemployment altogether and it's really about wage stagnation in the face of rising costs? we don't appear to be in a traditional wage-price spiral, so it's something else.
I just want to understand from the other people out there how bad it really is - I don't think it's monocausal, but whatever the reality on the ground is it's worse than I thought and I'd like to understand it.
