Unpopular opinion: .NET is one of the best stacks for building AI products in 2026 — and almost nobody talks about it.
Python gets all the hype. Fair, for research. But for AI features living inside real business systems — billing, auth, multi-tenant data — C# and .NET are quietly excellent: Semantic Kernel, strong typing that catches LLM-integration bugs early, and first-class Azure OpenAI support.
I've shipped autonomous AI agents in .NET 8 with the Claude API, Hangfire, and GraphQL. The "you can't do AI in .NET" take is just out of date.
Python or .NET for production AI — where do you land?

With Norvo mostly built and moving into testing beta testing. Its was time to start on the website and marketing assets.
This always takes more time than people think. I always position the product before I even build the platform, then throughout development, I let that positioning refine and become clearer, so when it's time to design assets, I know exactly where to start.
GTM when there are already established competitors in that space makes life much easier. As a user of other products, I know the limitations and missed opportunities, I can improve my stack to be more efficient and better value, even cheaper. I can focus on those differentiators and explore new ways of connecting to Framer from onboarding, all the way through the product.
🥕 We still have a few seats left for testers, so if you are a Framer designer for client work or templates and want a free lifetime account to help us test, let me know below 😊

The real winner is 🏆 Senior Developer + AI.
Experience helps you ask the right questions, while AI helps you execute faster. AI accelerates output, but judgment, architecture decisions, and handling edge cases still come from experience.
