This is the time of year when everyone "Adds dotnet 10 support", which was already there, but are actually just dropping dotnet 8 support

This was a lot of fun, I always look forward to appearing on this stream. Watch to find out some of the inner workings of the new C# 14 features
It is a #2codeOrNot2code tradition to host @stu.dev diving deep into the latest #CSharp language features, as well as discussing what's new in #dotnet. Join us for some sweet syntactic sugar of C# 14 and .NET 10.

@chethusk.bsky.social with what you showed in the .NET unboxed video, does that mean we can do NativeAOT cross compilation yet? Or is it restricted to dotnet tools?

Am I the only person that thinks putting Jira ticket references in commit messages is straight up a bad practice.
We have other ways of linking changes to tickets (PRs for example), commit messages should describe the change in the commit as best as possible.

I just published a blog post about the OpenCLI initiative. I think it's time we had a way to standardize CLI automation!
