    Fake‑agile wrapper, part 4. 🧩 Raymond shows how to move the COM ref via force_marshal<Smart> and let CTAD steer rvalue refs to the right constructor — no extra deduction guides needed. 😎 👉 Read: buff.ly/UE3ej9D
    Slide titled "The Old New Thing" with subtitle "Creating a fake agile wrapper that is technically agile but is not useful outside its home apartment, part 4" and a call-to-action "Read Raymond Chen’s Blog" on a blue Windows-themed background with books and glasses.

    COM shenanigans, level 3. 😈 Raymond Chen wraps a non‑marshalable object inside a marshalable shell so it can sneak into the GIT: 🔸 force_marshal<T> babysits the raw pointer 🔸 Wrapper isn’t agile (on purpose) 🔸 Agile “on paper,” throws in the wrong apartment 😅 👉 Blog:

    Git submodules… but make them IDE‑friendly 😎 VS 18.9 adds auto-discovery, clean repo views, read‑only safety + one‑click activation. No more terminal detours — just vibes + productivity. 👉 Blog: buff.ly/VDrUVcf
    Promotes managing Git submodules in Visual Studio: the IDE's Git panel lists branches and submodules (libs/Newtonsoft.Json, libs/serilog, libs/xunit) with a details pane for Newtonsoft.Json showing "in sync" status, checked-out commit, repository URL, and a blog call-to-action.
