_NOTE: This is the web version of my weekly newsletter, released on June 28, 2021. To get the issues right away, subscribe at_ [_dotnetstacks.com_](https://dotnetstacks.com/)._

Happy Monday! Again. I should really come up with a better opening line. Anyway, it's been a pretty crazy week and I haven't had time to dive deep into any topics this week. As such, I'll just be providing you with the links this week.

Also, thanks to the Independence Day holiday in the US, I'll be taking next week off and will be back with a full issue on July 12. See you then!
