Editor's note
I kept this issue deliberately mixed, which is usually where the most useful reading shows up. The EF Core piece on N+1 and cartesian explosion is practical performance advice, and the ASP.NET Core/.NET 10 article is worth scanning if you want a quick release-level refresher. I also pulled in a couple of AI security items because the developer-facing guidance is finally getting more concrete.
