I know I’m late to the party, but just recently had the opportunity to start using nullable reference types more seriously, so thought of gathering the first steps taken to go all-in with it.

.NET Conf 2020 is done and .NET 5 is finally here! Information about this release is spread across a bunch of blogs, videos and whatnot, so I thought of grabbing a bunch of links and put them in a post for quick reference.

Let’s take a look at NUKE, a cross-platform build automation system with C# DSL. We’ll use it to define the build for a new library that will eventually make its way to NuGet.
