Student: Is it because it’s #BannedBooksWeek?
Me: Yes!
I have lined this topic up with this week for years and this is the first time a student called out the connection in advance. 😊

If you installed the Visual Studio 2026 preview and were getting lots of errors trying edit C# code…sorry about that. We shipped a fix an hour ago so go check for updates in your Visual Studio Installer.

Hey so Visual Studio 2026 Insiders is out, and it's very exciting, but if you edit Razor files I have a personal favour to ask. For the last ~18 months I, and a few of my friends, have been working on a new foundation for the Razor editor called "Cohosting". I'd love for you to try it out.

A while back, I created "dotnet make" which will invoke your favourite build tool (cake, fake, make, nuke, csproj, fsproj, proj, sln) by convention, regardless of the current working directory in the repository.

No talks today for me at #msbuild, but I'll be floating around the Hub most of the day. Come find me around the modernization or .NET booths and let's talk about the SDK, MSBuild, .NET upgrades, or whatever else is on your mind!

if you know someone who was impacted, call them. Support them, lend them your network, your references, your referrals, and your time. This is a day with a lot of tears.
