OOOH is #dotnet 11 getting Unions!?
Julien Couvreur@jcouvMar 7
We merged an early C# 15 preview feature into .NET 11 preview 3: unions. Adds union declarations (`union Pet(Cat, Dog, Bird) { ... }`) and union types (attributed with `[Union]`). They can be treated by pattern matching/switch expressions as a closed set for exhaustiveness.

One thing that worries me about AI and software development is the amount of new developers who will be generating their code with a model instead of learning how to start a project from scratch for a specific use case #softwaredevelopment #ai

Write LINQ like a pro: 🧠 Chain with intent 🔍 Use Where() early 🧼 Keep it readable — break long chains 🚫 Avoid side effects in selectors 🧪 Profile when querying large datasets Clean LINQ = happy code. #CSharp #dotnet #LINQ #CleanCode #DevTips #softwaredevelopment

The moment you treat configuration as an afterthought, you weaponise appsettings.json. Modern #dotnet lives or dies by clean configuration discipline. #coding #softwaredevelopment
