While build & release pipelines are often created in YAML/JSON/XML, using C# offers clearer control flow. This session shows managing GitHub Actions pipelines with C#, Cake SDK & .NET 10, enabling local testing & debugging in VSCode. hubs.li/Q03VJlxp0 #dotnet #dotnetconf

So apparently my client has decided that we should (1) start using Cursor, and (2) show up at the office four days a week. After more than 6 years there, I’m thinking this might be my cue to eject. Anyone looking for a coder for a remote gig (or hybrid in Stockholm)?

To get Cake Issues working again, I need to publish a new version with Microsoft.Identity.Client updated. But the PR fails because the deletion of the package has broken the pipeline. As a consequence I need to disable pipelines for the sake of security I think I'll have a beer now

Pascal Berger @pascalberger.me · 11/07/2025

WTF @nuget.org? So there was a typo in an "XML comment" of Microsoft.Identity.Client, which is a dependency of a dependency of Cake.Frosting.Issues.PullRequests.AzureDevOps, which you deleted because of this. A trustworthy ecosystem for you is one which breaks build pipelines? EPIC FAIL

FFS, we (Cake) have advocating for running C# as scripts for more than 14 years, and before us ScriptCS. It feels like I've been taking crazy pills, but this is not a new, world-changing thing. They've (finally!) just made it more ergonomic. At least they could have credited prior art...

My reason to be renewed as an MVP was always "My daughter is proud of me receiving an award". I think you can skip this argument after todays appearances at #msbuild conference.
