This week: Thirteen new articles cover C# regex from basics to performance, state and command design patterns with best practices and real-world examples, and feature slicing including CQRS integration and a comparison with clean architecture. On the video side, we're talking about scaling testing teams, getting backing for good ideas, and how AI is reshaping developer careers.
Like what you read or watched from the recap?I'd love if you helped share on Reddit or Daily.dev so others can see!
