Messing up with #aspnetcore, #efcore, and #postgis ... I'll be happy developer for a few days (or maybe no)... 🤪

Avoid empty catch blocks like the plague. They're a HUGE code smell especially in production.

If nothing else, LOG SOMETHING in them.

Future you will thank me.

This was in #dotnet with #efcore and the problem nuked the "job is done" transaction so it was never marked done. Hence, dupes.

One time it confabuled that an EFCore query I made had an N+1 query problem despite there being no loop and explicitly using `.AsSingleQuery()` because they query execution plans looked better in comparison to the three split queries.

I need to dig into the EFCore Instrumentation package and wire that up. This made me think about some things I could've caught a few days ago.

Still the favorite of my t-shirt designs. It shows the massive cliff in the "burndown" for EF Core 3 where we cut a huge amount of work so we could ship the new query pipeline with enough quality. Each shirt was also customized for the individual team member. #EFCore

Tired of slow GroupBy queries in EF Core?

With LINQ GroupBy, EF Core 6+ now translates more groupings directly into SQL. No more pulling all the data into memory—just fast, efficient queries.
