The Code Brew's Weekly Newsletter - Week 5

Welcome to your weekly serving from The Code Brew! This week's top story comes with a bit of a shock: Microsoft has cancelled the .NET Eventing Framework, what Nick Chapsas called The Biggest .NET Feature. It's a major pivot, and we've got the links to help you understand what happened and what it means for the future. But it's not all about what's gone. Microsoft is also pushing forward, exploring native text-to-image AI capabilities in .NET and bolstering security with the rollout of Trusted Publishing on NuGet.org. We also have a fantastic guide from Milan Jovanovic on implementing distributed locking. The industry-wide conversation on AI continues, with Martin Fowler's Thoughtworks weighing in on the trend with their article, To vibe or not to vibe. On the security front, after last week’s npm attack, GitHub has released its official plan for a more secure supply chain. For the frontend folks, Josh Comeau is back with a must-read on the big gotcha with CSS @starting-style, and in a huge win for web standards, Browserslist now officially supports Baseline, making it easier to build for modern browsers. Finally, take a step back with Mark Seemann's timely reminder that productivity is not about lines of code. Grab your coffee, this week is packed. Let's get into it!
