ASP.NET Core auth, Copilot, tracing
This issue spans login forms, C# language updates, Copilot agent mode, caching, testing, tracing, MAUI, and microservices guidance.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Can ChatGPT build an ASP.NET Core login form in 10 minutes?
roundthecode.com
A quick reality check on AI-built login forms: useful for speed, but you still need to review the security details.
- 2 C# Language Mind map v14

The C# language mind map is a nice way to reorient yourself around v14 changes without reading a spec.
- 3 Vibe coding with GitHub Copilot: Agent mode and MCP support rolling out to all VS Code users
github.blog
Copilot agent mode going mainstream is a big tooling shift; worth understanding before it lands in your editor.
Editor's note
I pulled a very mixed bag this time: practical ASP.NET Core auth work, language and tooling updates, plus a lot of library and architecture material. The HybridCache GA post and the Copilot agent-mode rollout stood out to me because they both change how you build day to day.
