Editor's note
I pulled together a pretty classic mixed bag this time: fundamentals, data access, tooling, and performance. The EF Core loading strategy piece and the .NET 10 LINQ/performance update are the two I’d expect most teams to bookmark right away. I also like the Visual Studio pre-commit checks post because it’s a practical way to catch mistakes before they land.
