Scott Hanselman hosts a Microsoft Build live “vibe check” where AI-assisted demos are put under scrutiny: what the AI actually built, where the seams are, and whether the result is a clever prototype or something that could hold up in production.

Scott Hanselman hosts a live Build 2026 “vibe check” with Simon Willison, reviewing AI-assisted demos and digging into what the AI actually built, where the seams are, and what it would take to move from clever prototype to production-ready software.

Scott Hanselman and Monica Cisneros discuss what it took to make the OpenClaw Windows keynote demo reliable, covering cross-team coordination, open source testing practices, and Windows platform work like packaging, permissions, sandboxing, and container-style containment options.

Scott Hanselman argues that “one-shot” AI coding demos (like “one shot Minecraft”) are misleading, because the prompt often hides a lot of semantic detail. He emphasizes that good specs, SDLC discipline, and careful wording matter more than party-trick outputs as AI-assisted programming becomes more common.

Scott Hanselman guides developers through the full process of signing Windows executables using Azure Trusted Signing, dotnet sign, and GitHub Actions. The tutorial blends practical, real-world experience with detailed step-by-step instructions and security insights.
