Welcome to another issue of Dev Leader Weekly! In this issue, I discuss why moving beyond senior engineer is hard and what career success can look like.
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.
Welcome to another issue of Dev Leader Weekly! In this issue, I discuss why I still build side projects and how a thin paid layer helps me actually finish them.
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.
