This episode is packed with stories, insight, and more than a few unexpected turns – and our guest is no exception. We’re joined by the always-curious, always-creating John Galloway, who shares his remarkable journey from submarine officer to dev community builder at Microsoft.

Whether it’s live-streaming labs, shipping AI-powered productivity tools, or winning a car on The Price Is Right (yes, really), John brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of dev wisdom. We talk Blazor, .NET Aspire, the evolution of vibe coding, the reality of building meaningful content, and how AI is changing the way we build and communicate.
