Remember getting budget to move to .NET 8? Surprise: it and .NET 9 both lose support November 10. Your app won’t turn into a pumpkin, but security fixes stop. Time to move to .NET 10 and budget for keeping it current. Modernization was never going to be “one and done,” no matter what that PowerPoint promised. Here’s what to check before your next upgrade becomes everyone’s favorite meeting. 👇 hubs.li/Q04Cfy100 #dotnet

Attackers weaponized AI to shrink breach cycles from four weeks to 18 hours. Meanwhile, your core payroll logic is trapped in an unpatchable VB6 ActiveX control. Bain found technical debt is now a live cyber exposure that stalls AI transformation. Wrapping 20-year-old code in VPNs won't save you when reconnaissance takes 60 minutes. Modernize the underlying architecture or get breached. Read more: hubs.li/Q04BtBFB0 via @dworsham #security #VB6 #cybersecurity #AI

Microsoft just released 8 CVEs across .NET 8, 9, and 10 in the September 2026 update. PSA: Cloud-native pipelines don’t magically patch themselves. Floating Docker tags won’t save running clusters, and self-contained builds mean recompiling every microservice by hand. High patch density exposes the weakest link in your CI/CD. Time to pull the latest base images and audit your ingress layers. Read more in our blog; 🔗hubs.li/Q04xj-s20 #dotnet #devops

The Stuff in .NET 11 That I Think is Interesting. • Native Linux DNS & segfault reporting • Killing OOP bloat with C# 15 unions + closed JSON • Slashing CI/CD bills with digest matching • Native Kiosk mode for WinForms (yes, really) Read what matters when running software in production: hubs.li/Q04x718p0 #dotnet #csharp

ICYMI: We went live with Jeff Fritz @csharpfritz for a Hands-On AI Workshop vibe coding a real AI app from empty editor to running agent. Catch the recap here: hubs.li/Q04pZzQ20 #AI #agenticai #copilot

A new model drops. Lower price per token, better benchmarks. You switch. A week later your agent is burning 12x more tokens on the same task and producing worse output. Microsoft ran 150 agent tasks comparing Claude Sonnet 4.6 vs Sonnet 5. The cheaper model was 3.7x more expensive on code upgrades. Architecture quality actually dropped. But on tasks needing precise instruction-following, the newer model won. The takeaway: a model upgrade is a hypothesis, not a guarantee. Capability is jagged. You won't know which side of the frontier your workload lands on until you measure it. And no model version closes a gap in your documentation.
