Thanks for the article. Would you recommend YARP ahead of other reverse proxies like NGINX? It looks like you have set it up only to enable local development, is it viable and can replace API management in prod ?

Fikemi Femi-Fred There are a few which provide auto cleanup on save code cleanup on save -> uses your VS config and applies that codemaid -> some more control resharper -> if you have a license If you are interested with code cleanup topic, here is a related article of mine 😄 https://blog.kndb.in/code-reviews-used-to-hate-them-not-anymore

Interesting! As long as we are okay with having random empty commits in our history, I believe this would be a nice trick.

Thanks for the article, I could relate to all the shortcuts you mentioned. I personally changed(or upgraded if you may) from Ctrl + K + D -> code cleanup brush button at the bottom, left of your horizontal scroll bar. And then took one step further and installed an extension which does automatic code cleanup on Save. More power to you! Cheers.

I am a senior software engineer, and I hate you for bringing up this topic 🙂 I frequently encounter this when I work on new tasks at work Here are a few things that I do to cope (apart from the obvious research on SO and other platforms) fight with the realization, it almost always ends with "I was given the task because people trust me, they think I am capable of getting it done" don't commit to tasks right away, 2-3 toilet breaks atleast to ponder about the task 🙂 keep a track of all my thoughts, start noting down everything, literally everything, even thoughts that dont make sense, in the end it would all make sense and you should be able to cleanup (i like to create mindmaps) discuss with teammates, even freshers who work on your team, everyone has ideas. You will be surprised what these young chaps bring to the table. Nothing to feel ashamed about, once the job is done they are the ones who will take over and I can move on to other critical tasks. break down the task into smaller pieces, as I wrap up each task, I start gaining more and more confidence, I am unstoppable by the end of it I wont say I manipulate my mind, rather I don't shy out of a challenge when given one (bit of ego to get things done) -> being an introvert I usually dont pick challenges proactively though 🙂

This is the first time I am trying out Blazor as well. Though it has the same razor page flavor, I felt there is some learning curve to it. Good way to start would be to try out some smaller side projects first, just like this post :)

Thanks for sharing, very interesting, will definitely explore.

Thanks for reading

Alternatively, if done the right way, code comments would be a developers bestie. Some guidelines around writing code comments StackOverflow Blog

Thanks for the article Kamil, good refresher. I hate null handling, so recently I have been using these methods a bit differently, where I specify what is the default value. var defaultStudent = new Student { Id = 0 , Name = "Karen" , Course = "FlatEarth" }; var student = students.Where(s => s.Name == "Charlie" ).DefaultIdEmpty(defaultStudent).FirstOrDefault(); Hopefully MS would allow us to manage default values directly in the future.
