This week covers .NET pipeline design, EF Core specifications, and practical RAG evaluation. Plus videos on AI-assisted development, agentic workflows, and software engineering careers.
This week covers hybrid search and semantic reranking for RAG in .NET, plus async and error-handling patterns for C# pipelines. The videos dig into AI agent evals, what developers retain when AI writes code, communication gaps, and manager accountability.
This week covers the Specification Pattern with EF Core, type-safe C# pipelines, and vector search with Azure AI Search. Plus videos on effective tech leadership, end-to-end testing, career changes, and working with AI.
This week covers NLog performance and routing, practical C# design patterns, and a stable .NET architecture for RAG and embeddings. New videos dig into AI-assisted workflows, navigating large codebases, burnout, and the path beyond senior engineer.
This week covers NLog setup, targets, layout renderers, and structured logging in .NET. Plus, explore OpenTelemetry distributed tracing and practical career questions about difficult peers and what comes after senior engineer.
This week is a full deep dive into OpenTelemetry in .NET -- traces, metrics, logging, HttpClient instrumentation, ASP.NET Core setup, and exporters for OTLP, Prometheus, Jaeger, and Azure Monitor. Plus GitHub Copilot CLI workflows for .NET developers, testing and deploying C# MCP servers, and a hard look at modular monoliths, clean architecture, and moving back from microservices.
