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

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...
