[It's worth noting that HtmlRenderer is a very heavyweight component and includes everything required to render Razor Components (Blazor Components). If you just need something simpler, you can use RazorSlices. It won't have tag helpers (and view components), but you may not need all that other stuff. For background, I used to be the maintainer of RazorLight, which was the most popular Razor renderer many years ago. I stopped support around .NET 6 as Microsoft was making it progressively more difficult to have Razor function standalone, and I was no longer actively doing web development.](https://hashnode.com/posts/using-razor-outside-of-web/65c1525e417b96cdb95bc0c7/comment/681937334a40c3f332008a2e)

[Robert Martin I remember being a teenager and finding your posts with H.S. Lahman and feeling like I was uncovering some hidden laws of the universe. Later, in my early 20s, I met several of my heroes at a conference, only to be greatly disappointed to hear they were full of regret. For example, without naming names, one founder of the field of computer science was bankrupt and legally blind due to glaucoma from diabetes (which in turn he attributed to not taking care of his diet). Here is my big question, that I may even regret asking: Does your ability to think logically and structure your thoughts on software engineering carry into your personal life? How do you set goals for yourself, both personally and professionally? If you were to plot a histogram of your successes and failures, in five year increments, what would that look like? What caused the histogram bars to change over time?](https://hashnode.com/forums/thread/i-am-robert-c-martin-uncle-bob-ask-me-anything/comment/5d2f4f10dfebeb1063a0084a)
