When your role shifts from coding to strategy, it's easy to feel like you're losing your technical edge. In this issue, I break down how to maintain technical depth without going back to being a full-time individual contributor.
This week covers building extensible plugin systems in C#, the adapter design pattern in depth, and practical C# source generator testing. Plus new videos on developer burnout, staying sharp after promotion, and whether Copilot CLI is finally replacing Visual Studio.
Welcome to another issue of Dev Leader Weekly! In this issue, I talk about finally stepping away from Visual Studio after a lifetime of using it, why Copilot CLI clicked for me, and how I'm using Roslyn analyzers as guardrails to stop AI from repeating its own mistakes.
This week covers Observer Pattern implementation and best practices in C#, source generator techniques, Factory Method and Composite patterns, and GitHub Copilot SDK multi-agent capabilities. Plus developer career videos on getting credit for your work, advancing past invisible barriers, and navigating strong opinions as a senior dev.
