One of the patterns I keep coming back to in real-world .NET projects is the Declaration Pattern.Itโs simple, expressive, and helps your code reflect intent instead of getting bogged down in control flow. If youโve ever looked at a messy method full of if/else branching and repeated logicโฆ youโll appreciate how declarative design brings clarity. […]
Have you ever used a website that keeps working even when something behind the scenes breaks?Thatโs the magic of fault tolerance. What Is Fault Tolerance? Fault tolerance means a system keeps running even if some part of it fails.In simple words โ it doesnโt crash when something goes wrong. Itโs like a car that keeps
Imagine this:Youโre sipping coffee on a Monday morning when suddenly, your companyโs e-commerce platform goes down during a flash sale.

When working with Entity Framework Core and including multiple related entities, you may notice performance degradation or unexpected SQL behavior. One hidden gem to address this is the AsSplitQuery() methodโa powerful tool that gives you greater control over how EF Core executes your queries. In this article, weโll explore: The Problem: Cartesian Explosion with Include
When building enterprise applications in .NET, we often deal with complex objects that hold references to other nested objects. Sometimes, we need a true independent copy of such an objectโnot just a reference, but a new object with fully copied internal structures. Thatโs where deep cloning comes in. The Problem: Shallow vs Deep Copy By
In the fast-paced world of software development, productivity and clarity are everything โ especially for .NET developers juggling APIs, Entity Framework, LINQ, and testing. Enter Grok CLI, a conversational AI tool powered by Grok 3 and 4, designed to live inside your terminal and make your development life smoother. This post covers: ๐ค What is
As AI becomes more deeply integrated into the developer workflow, tools like Gemini CLI are changing how we write, test, and explore code โ all from the terminal. If you love the command line and want to tap into Googleโs powerful Gemini AI models without leaving your dev environment, this guide is for you. ๐ง
For years, companies have searched for the mythical 10X developerโthe one who codes faster, solves problems quicker, and delivers more than an entire team combined. But hereโs the reality: AI just changed the game. ๐ก A new breed of engineer is emergingโthe 100X AI-Engineer. This isnโt about writing more code. Itโs about leveraging AI to
If youโre still writing every single line of code manually, youโre already behind. The best developers today donโt just code. They orchestrate. Think about this: Hereโs the AI-Augmented Developerโs Mindset: Automate the Repetition. Focus on Architecture. Use AI as Your Debugging Assistant. Get Good at Prompting. ๐ Your role isnโt disappearingโitโs evolving. The best developers
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword; it has transformed nearly every industry, especially software development. Among the many facets of AI, Prompt Engineering has emerged as a critical skill, shaping the way developers interact with AI models like ChatGPT, GPT-4, and other advanced language models. In this article, weโll explore what prompt
