Cloud-native computing takes advantage of many modern software development techniques including microservices, containers, CI/CD, agile methodologies, and devops. I'm doing it wrong again?

Don’t worry, I don’t cover all of them here, but grab a large mug of your favorite hot beverage, and settle in: this post takes a rip-roarin’ tour through ~400 PRs that, all together, significantly improve .NET performance for .NET 6. Assuming that kind of thing is useful to you

Same here. The lack of any SSRS support in .NET Core / 5 / 6 / etc. means we can't upgrade.
There used to be a UserVoice suggestion that Microsoft should provide .NET Core SSRS support. It had been "under review" since 2018, and was one of the top-voted suggestions on the site. But now it seems Microsoft have sent all UserVoice feedback into the same hole as the feedback from their old "Connect" site.

I just have a client who always wants at least 1.5N developers worth of short term work done at any point (N = current number of devs); so we never have the time for any major refactors that aren't critical blockers for implementing a new feature.

AFAIK Uservoice was deprecated in favor of Developer Community a few years back. Some issues I cared enough to be subscribed to were migrated to the new one and some have been implemented/scheduled for VS2022; although unless search is broken (wouldn't surprise me from the creator of Bing) it doesn't look like adding SSRS.Core is open there.

The closest I could find was this one[^], but none of the votes or comments from the UserVoice issue have been migrated. 
Nothing says "we care about our customers" more than requesting feedback, and then regularly throwing that feedback away and telling your customers to submit it again on a different platform.
I wonder how long it will be until the developer community site gets dumped in favour of something different? Or, as one recent post below had it, "Silverlighted".

Maybe not but "This will have broad value to the community so we put it on the roadmap" followed by ignoring it for 2+ years has to be a close second.

A secret terrorist watchlist with 1.9 million records, including classified "no-fly" records was exposed on the internet. I didn't make the list!
Further to the discussion below about IT leaders not understanding how they get breached: "The list was left accessible on an Elasticsearch cluster that had no password on it."

Well... if they had written it in Excel, at least some of the data would not have been exposed (just lost)

Despite the fact most IT leaders consider their cybersecurity practices efficient, data breaches are still commonplace, says a new report from Amplitude Research. In totally unrelated news: the requirements just changed, but the deadline was moved up

1) Most IT Leaders have not really a clue of what actually is being needed in the IT of their companies.
2) Many of the problems with security are not even avoidable by the IT guys as they are placed in sites where they can't do anything against it.
3) The best what an IT guy can do is have the best backup system possible because it is not a question of "if" they get a breach, but more a question of "when" they get the breach.
4) Actually #3 is the best advice even for private people.
