Motivation is nice, but structure is what actually gets things done for me.

One gives me bursts of energy, the other makes sure I keep moving.

👉 Which one do you lean on more?

Been walking around singing Camotal 🇲🇽 🎶 Turns out it’s about sweet potato fields. 🍠

As a Dane married to a Mexican (10 years), I love these little discoveries while we get ready to move to Mexico again. Here’s hoping life as a techie there will be just as fruitful. 💻✨

Perfect is overrated.

Users don’t care about your folder structure — they care if it works.

Sometimes good enough software is the best software.

Exception handling is more than just try/catch.
There are async pitfalls, AggregateException traps, and global handlers we don’t always think about.

Exception Handling: Beyond Try/Catch
Exception handling in .NET is more than just try/catch. From filters and AggregateException to async quirks and global handlers.

I almost never see Exception Filters in real projects… but they’re such a clean way to handle errors.
Do you use them?

#CSharp #DotNet
Simplify Exception Handling with Exception Filters
Exception filters make error handling in C# cleaner and more expressive. They let you catch only what you care about without cluttering your code with nested logic or rethrows.

C# Nullable Reference Types: Strings Aren’t Always Safe
Null reference exceptions are one of the most common runtime errors in C#. Nullable reference types let the compiler help you avoid them—if you use them correctly.

Primary Constructors in C# 12 (and Why I Like Them)
Primary constructors in C# 12 reduce boilerplate by letting you declare constructor parameters directly on the type. Cleaner, more concise, and perfect for data + behavior types.

My Favorite C# Feature? Records for Effortless Data Handling.
C# records offer value-based equality and immutability, making data models cleaner and reducing boilerplate. Ideal for data-centric types, records simplify object comparison and updates in modern C#.
