@JohanKSvensson @LittleKittyGame I’ve not played super long but from what I have seen it’s good! I loved how they setup the tutorial!

Ok let’s see what this one is all about…

[Update Conference @update_conf]

@Microsoft Build is happening right now, and while the tech world is busy refreshing livestreams and watching keynotes, we're enjoying a small reason to be proud 😊

At Update Conference Krakow just a few days ago, we had the privilege of welcoming speakers who are now part of the biggest Microsoft developer event of the year 🎤 @alexthissen and 🎤 @jfversluis sharing their expertise with developers from around the world.

And if you've been watching closely, you may have also spotted Michal Tichý representing our community in style with an Update Conference T-shirt on the Build website 😎

This year's Build is packed with announcements around AI agents, the next generation of Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Azure, .NET, Microsoft 365, Windows, and much more. In other words: a lot to keep up with.

To help our community navigate everything announced at Build, Tomáš Herceg has prepared a special MeetUpdate Prague session. He'll highlight the most important announcements, explain their impact on developers, and share where Microsoft technologies are heading next.

📍 MeetUpdate Prague, Microsoft Czech Republic
📅 June 11

See you there, and congratulations to all our speakers making an impact both on the Update stage and the Build stage! 👏

Does this imply that Claude will only care about being honest and accurate when there’s a chance of being found out? 😅

@beeradmoore Surprise!

[Gerald Versluis @jfversluis]

NuGet package pruning in .NET 10 is one of those quiet improvements that saves real headaches.

It removes platform-provided packages from your dependency graph. Result: 70% fewer transitive vulnerability reports on a default project.

Less noise in your audit. Link below ⬇️

“AI doesn’t work for me.”

Many engineers still feel that way after trying AI coding tools.

@jfversluis is here to change that.

Go from “AI doesn’t work for me” to shipping software with AI as your co-pilot.
