Developer joy with Scott Hanselman and friends
summary
Open-source Dev Home becomes a hub for cloning repos, installing configs and adding widgets; it reads YAML winget configure files (and VS .vsconfig) to set up machines end-to-end. New Dev Drives use ReFS and ship to Home and Pro, showing lab wins like a 41% faster NodeJS clone and a 22% faster Orchard Core build. Demo builds ASP.NET from source in ~6:37 (7:00 end-to-end) and compiles/runs a decompiled Space Pinball under WSL GUI, and Terminal gains portable mode and tab tear-off — all working live.
