.NET Hot Reload; Update Code While Running 🤯

Summary

The transcript discusses .NET 6 Preview 3's hot reload feature, which allows developers to make code changes in C# and Visual Basic during a debugging session without stopping the process. The feature supports adding methods, fields, constructors, iterators, async/await expressions, and lambda expressions, though it currently has some limitations like not supporting renaming or adding entire new classes. The key practical takeaway is that developers can now modify code in real-time during debugging, potentially increasing productivity and making the development workflow more seamless across different development environments like Visual Studio for Mac, Windows, and VS Code.
