Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Identity is Hard with Michele Bustamante
Q: For .NET developers, what is the most significant change in the identity landscape in the last year?
The built-in ASP.NET login experiences and easy auth flows have become much easier to stand up, but there are still gaps like missing user info in tokens; the overall trend is toward more guided, out-of-the-box identity plumbing with ongoing need for architecture and policy decisions.
Ten Things Scott Sauber Does On Every .NET App
Q: So who's talking to us today, Richard?
Scott Sauber is introduced as the guest, described as Director of Engineering at Lean Techniques and a well-known community and open-source contributor.
Use What Works with Dylan Beattie
Q: What is the suggested path for teams considering open-source software?
Evaluate existing, maintained solutions first, consider sponsorship or support agreements for long-term sustainability, and avoid propping up fragile, unmaintained forks.
Use What Works with Dylan Beattie
Q: Why do the guests discuss Redis and licensing changes?
As a case study demonstrating how free software can evolve into a sustainable model under license changes, showing both risks and opportunities for large users and cloud providers.
Use What Works with Dylan Beattie
Q: What is the main goal of the Use What Works initiative?
To create a structured, community-driven approach with case studies and a manifesto that helps teams justify investing in open source and sustainable, off-the-shelf software rather than building everything from scratch.
