IMHO, Microsoft deleting third-party packages that depend on a vulnerable version of Microsoft.Identity.Client is very irresponsible. github.com/serilog-mssq...
Version 8.2.1 not listed on nuget.org · Issue #625 · serilog-mssql/serilog-sinks-mssqlserver
One of my projects was updated from Dependabot on 7/8/25 to reference Serilog.Sinks.MSSqlServer v8.2.1, and as of today this version is not available via nuget.org.

Yikes. Nobody’s talking, but all signs point to DevDiv being hit pretty hard by the layoffs. I am sad.

It's been a while now, so I guess I will formally say: I'm not on the Entity Framework team anymore. I thought I would work on EF Core until I retired, and beyond. Very sadly, that turned out not to be possible. I'm going to really miss the team and the community. But on to new and exciting things!

Today marks one year of being off the team, but I don't think I'll ever stop using the words us, we & our when talking about #EFCore. Once a unicorn, always a unicorn. ✊🦄
