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)?

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support!

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

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?
