@giorgi_tedi @James_M_South This is its intended use imo. I use pattern matching often like this and is the recommended way

The Uk 🇬🇧 is not designed for 30°c +

@adelbucetta @freeCodeCamp Hi sorry I’m trying to understand what problem you believe the article highlights in regards to JWT ?

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

@ImChelseaGreen We need “Tiffsea” 🤷‍♂️ or “Chelfany” as tag team champs 🏆

@mjovanovictech I much prefer JIRA over a recent teams usage of Rally 🤮 😡

@fromdevoid @kristijan_kralj CQRS is a concept not only implemented in .Net

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

@KarenPayneMVP This is why i opt for Jetbrains Rider much more stable.

@HyliaKay Awww too cute 🐱

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

So due to work requirements. I may be spending the next 6-12 months writing Python.

Don’t worry folks I’ll still be posting / writing .Net tutorials. But you may also see a few more Python posts.

#versatility is the future. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

@KarenPayneMVP I’d separate code off into smaller solutions / features etc.

Turn reusable code into Nuget packages and have these served to the relevant areas.

Think Micro-Front-End , for your back end strategy. Solution load time will decrease greatly.

@devinbgoble @Mike_Preston17 Set clear coding rules from the start to avoid unsettling changes.

As a consultant myself, I value my reputation and aim to build long-term relationships.

I find some short term contractors don’t think too much about long term goals as long as works “for now”

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

@Mike_Preston17 Yeah I always try and enforce my coding practices onto my contractors or temp staff. As they’re only usually here for a short space of time

Changing hands so often without guidance leads to multiple coding styles, and a messy codebase.

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

This is sick ! - I genuinely feel this addition will revolutionise css styling on front end

[Grant | Dev @grantdotdev]

Always make it work first, then adapt and improve.

Keep It Super Simple (KISS) and readable; simplicity often shows skill better than over-engineering.

Note: remember to ensure performance and security in addition to simplicity and readability though.

[Milan Jovanović @mjovanovictech]

If you're a developer who writes code daily, remember these 5 things:

- First, make it work
- Then make it pretty
- Add safety with lots of tests
- Stay away from over-engineering
- Refactor if needed (and it usually is needed)

Refactoring is your superpower for cleaning up code.

Here are some proven refactoring techniques I use to write better code: https://t.co/OKIoorIwC2

Do you think clean code is overrated?

P.S. Yes, this still matters even if AI is writing most of your code.

Everyone’s excited about C#14 and Discriminated Unions - but that’s a whole 6 months away.

What can we do until then ?
A popular library I use is ‘OneOf’

Learn how to use it and the power it brings for many scenarios in my tutorial.
