.NET 8 and .NET 9 End of Support: What Stops, and What Does Not"

Show Notes Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today's episode is a little different from the norm. There's no guest; it's just me. And there's a date coming that I'd rather tell you about early than late. So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.
