You can vibe code with your favorite “AI agent bro” all you want, but you need to be in charge and know what to ask it to type. Are you going to ask it to add tests? Not if you don’t know what tests are. Are you going to ask it to do a TDD… Continue reading Programming Is Not Dead; Typing Code Is

Understanding Generics and Covariance in C#
Introduction to Generics in C# Ever hit a wall like this? Yet swap to IEnumerable<Fruit> and it magically works? This trips up devs assuming inheritance flows through generics. It spotlights invariance vs. covariance – List<T> blocks it to prevent bugs, while IEnumerable<out T> enables safe read-only views. Crucial for bulletproof APIs. Core Mechanism Generics like… Continue reading Understanding Generics and Covariance in C#
Mastering Infinite Sequences in C#: A Complete Guide
Introduction to Infinite Sequences Infinite sequences in C# represent data streams that generate values indefinitely on demand, without precomputing or storing everything in memory. They leverage lazy evaluation, where elements are produced only when needed, making them ideal for scenarios like simulations or endless data generation. This approach prevents memory exhaustion from unbounded collections. IEnumerable… Continue reading Mastering Infinite Sequences in C#: A Complete Guide
If You Don’t Want to Be Replaced by a Robot, Don’t Act Like a Robot
Here’s a rant I’ve been sitting on, and it’s time to let it out. In the modern software development landscape, there’s an unsettling trend: we pretend that the perfect project flow is a conveyor belt, and the only thing slowing us down is “imperfect” specification. Every sprint, there are grumbles about user stories that aren’t… Continue reading If You Don’t Want to Be Replaced by a Robot, Don’t Act Like a Robot

On one side, there are those that walk in righteousness—methods of peace and purity, untouched by the temptations of the world! These are the pure methods, unshaken by the chaos around them. They take only what is given, mindful of… Continue reading Blessed Are the Pure Methods, for They Shall Be Testable!
Changing Object Types to Reflect State Transitions
In object-oriented design, objects encapsulate state and expose behavior that operates on that state. Consequently, if an object must exhibit different behaviors at various stages of its lifecycle, it can be beneficial to represent these transitions by changing its type. For example, consider a system that manages books. A newly created but unsaved book might… Continue reading Changing Object Types to Reflect State Transitions
Interfaces vs Abstract Classes
This article moves beyond the typical “mechanical” distinctions between interfaces and abstract classes, focusing instead on their intended roles in your code. In C#, an interface establishes a contract that implementing classes must follow. When multiple implementations share common functionality, they may encapsulate that shared behavior in an abstract base class. However, not every subclass… Continue reading Interfaces vs Abstract Classes
