Editor's note
I pulled together a deliberately mixed issue this time: practical team standards, framework previews, and a lot of day-to-day developer craft. The Workleap coding standards piece and the new Dependabot NuGet updater stood out for showing how tooling can move both consistency and velocity. I also liked the ASP.NET Core exception-handler testing article and the passkey preview post because they’re concrete, useful, and timely.
