You ever wondered what is the difference between an `IHostedService` and a `BackgroundService`? The latter is designed for long-running tasks and the former for the short-running ones! 📹 youtu.be/S0H_qElq59Y?... 📚 shahab-the-guy.dev/blogPost/e4e... #aspnetcore #csharp #dotnet

We're stunned by the love our new #OpenTelemetry plugin for Rider has been receiving lately 🤯 We thought "Hey, observability inside the IDE sounds useful" and gave it our best shot, but the response has been...wow. Bottom line: No more dashboard hopping to optimize your .NET app! 👉 jb.gg/ot-in-rd

Heading to @eventcentric.bsky.social for two days of great talks, looking forward to talk with @noctovis.bsky.social about event versioning and @oskardudycz.bsky.social about Event Sourcing 😊

At Microsoft build, a new way to run C# applications was introduced, check out my latest post to get familiar with it: 📝 bit.ly/4kopAeU #csharp #build #Build2025 #MVPbuzz #dotnet #csproj #programming #softwaredevelopment #dotnet10

I am implementing a new feature in a code base, and want to emphasize that "Code Duplication is a lesser evil than coupling"! 😭 Just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you heard a surgeon say, "I won't sterilise my tools, as the patient won't let me"? I haven't, but I have heard multiple times, "Business won't let us add unit tests." I wrote a bit on such lies we tell to ourselves in the latest #ArchitectureWeekly www.architecture-weekly.com/p/business-w...

I am finally back from three weeks of being busy and an awesome vacation!

I am back to analysis paralysis mode 😭🤷🏻‍♂️ I hope tomorrow by writing down all thoughts (useful or not) helps.

I haven’t done anything in March, and it was more like being tired and rest; April and May, on the other hand, will be a marathon of work, family time and fun. 🏃‍♂️‍➡️😊 💪🏼

📅📢Hurry up! The @oredev.org CFP deadline of March 31st is approaching fast. As a volunteer overseeing the #dotnet track, I'm eager to review your top-notch submissions. Don't miss out; submit now! Submission link: sessionize.com/oredev-2025/ #cfp #opportunity #techconference

“You can’t change the world of bad software design. You can only hope to implement proper DDD in projects you work on.” - @vaughnvernon.bsky.social I could 100% relate to this, sometimes brown field projects prevents you from achieving proper DDD, and sometimes people in your team.

Just blogged: Introducing AZDOI, a .NET tool designed to document Azure DevOps organizations by generating Markdown files. This tool helps keep track of your projects and repositories. Read more: www.devlead.se/posts/2025/2... #DevOps #Azure #DotNet #DevOpsDocs

Happy Persian new year! May it be less of anything representing a BBoM, and they've been transforming into well-defined bounded contexts, working autonomously under your control. #Nowruz #PersianNewYear #software #development

This is a great talk, highly recommended. Also, an opinionated implementation of V.O by @dunnhq.com that I could recommend: github.com/SteveDunn/Vo... - You could reduce a lot of cognitive load from your team and yourself, with ample number of Code Analyzers, that prevent you from mistakes.

Blogged: Creating an analyzer to detect infinite loops caused by ThreadAbortExceptions andrewlock.net/creating-an-... In this post I describe a Roslyn Analyzer that detects code which can result in infinite loops if a ThreadAbortException is raised #dotnet #csharp

If you’ve ever wanted a Visual Studio Code for Nintendo Switch, definitely check this out. Supports USB keyboards (!), write your own games, great for the kids www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Suppress or enforce? In C#, you can silence warnings OR make sure critical ones can’t be ignored! Learn how to configure diagnostics and take control of your code analysis. ⚡ 📚👉🏼 https://bit.ly/4bVU7gJ #CSharp #Roslyn #CodeAnalysis #SourceGenerator #dotnet

One of the bigger problems with the Aspire dashboard right now is that it focuses on the structure of the waterfall, rather than the fact that each span is structured data. You can't easily see and compare the data from each span, which is what makes spans so great as telemetry data.

My latest talk is now available. It covers a lot of different design techniques in just 60 mins! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOF3...

Code Fix Providers are like a good fellow developer who provides suggestions over the approach that the diagnostic analyzer was not happy with! 😉 📚 bit.ly/41eh0ay 📹 youtu.be/QjAofk2U32o #roslyn #csharp #dotnet #CodeFixProvider #Diagnostic #Analyzer

I was recording a video for two hours and then realized I forgot to switch the OBS studio from myself to code 😭🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s all me talking code without showing it 🤷🏻‍♂️ should I publish that? 😅 #hall_of_fail

Hosted a session at #MicrosoftZwroToHero community! Great start, amazing experience 😊

A big .NET Aspire vNext feature landed: introducing the resources graph 🚀 Aspire knows your resources and their relationships. We've added a D3 powered graph to visualize your app and its dependencies in the dashboard. #dotnet #aspire

You need to remember that there's no "views" on Bluesky, so the way people know that people are seeing/engaging with content is through likes. The bar for a like is way lower here, show people you appreciate their content by liking it.

As a software engineer, just ranting about a wrong approach in a given context is not enough, we should provide options and alternatives! It applies to #diagnostic #analyzers, they should not just make noise, but providing #code #suggestion! bit.ly/41eh0ay #sourcegenerator #csharp #dotnet

I still see some of my friends using connection strings to connect to resources on Azure when doing either development or even when the application is deployed; However, there are better and secure ways to achieve like using ManagedIdentity, or authenticating your machine! bit.ly/4hPHYvY

Learning a technology and using it in projects is one thing, trying to create a blog post and video out of it is totally another thing. You need to consider so many details and navigation of the story to be able to convey a message.

If you're wondering how to document Event-Driven Architecture or don't know that you should, I have something for you. @boyney123.bsky.social gave a hands-on introduction to EventCatalog, showing how it can help keep our system knowledge up to date. www.architecture-weekly.com/p/documentin... 1/

This week, I have found myself in a series of conversations on how to think about Microsoft.Extensions.AI (M.E.AI pronounced Mee-ya by me ... ). One of PM architects, Damian, pointed out how similar it is to EF Core, so let's break it down

Happy 35th birthday to this photograph of Earth from 6 billion kilometres (3.7bn miles) away, taken by Voyager 1 as it left the Solar System forever. Carl Sagan's thoughts on the Pale Blue Dot are in the Alt text.

wonder how many companies wound up copying and pasting the eShopOnContainers EventBus abstraction instead of just pulling in NServiceBus or MassTransit

One of the goals of Code Analyzer is to reduce the cognitive load for a developer; thus, it should not produce noise and one way to achieve that is to write unit tests for it, in the next episode of “Inside Out - Roslyn“ we’ll examine how it could be done. youtu.be/qbx0HZNglv8?...
