Did you know Clean Starter Kit is available as a NuGet Package and as a NuGet Template
The NuGet package is the traditional way of installing it, it comes with the compiled code.
The NuGet template is a more modern way of installing it. You get the whole solution with all of the source code,

Excellent evening with #Umbraco folk in London! Exemplary hosting by This is Embrace 🙏. A thought (and discussion) proving talk from @jasonelkin.uk about null reference types. And a cool demo from @mttblss.uk showing how to automatically set sort order on nodes. Thanks to all involved and attended!

Thank you to @ldnug.org, @ndcconferences.com and Mads Torgersen for putting on such an interesting evening. What a privilege to hear from the lead designer of C# about what is being contemplated for the next release. And look, Mads does the teapot pose on stage like I (allegedly) do! 🫖

The wing de-icing process is cool 🥶🤖
The fact that it’s happening for the third time as we’ve been on the tarmac for 3 hours is not so cool 😑
