I was told that, of course, Agile is all about project management because that phrase appears in the Manifesto. The Agile Manifesto was written a quarter century ago. How agile would we be if we hadn't learned and adapted over those 24 years? Back then, everybody thought in terms of projects.

I once asked "the internet" what maintainable code is all about. Some of the responses included answers like code that shows somebody cares or code that doesn’t need explanation, just like a good joke.

But the most important aspect of maintainable code—one most people agreed on—is the

Oh, ok, thanks for an update 😀

Why? I do watch Simpsons occasionally as well. Have I missed something?

Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section.

Thanks @adefwebserver.com. I have quickly read the issue on github.com/jbogard/Medi... and making DbContext transient was a quick fix (for Friday eve), but I will reimplement my handlers with your approach 😉

This is nice, thanks for sharing! I have been searching to dive into #Blazor #WebAssembly #optimization, and this is just what I needed. The re-rendering and virtualization tips are especially helpful. 💪

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Friday night, you think everything's running smoothly on your local, hit publish, and ... on the server, you get into #Blazor + #EFCore = DbContext concurrency pitfall! 😅 Had to make my DbContext transient. Has anyone found a better solution for server-side rendering? #dotnet #webdev

That book sounds awesome! I do have some C# skills, so I am curious, what surprised you most about C# compared to other languages you know? Any "whoa, I didn't expect that!" moments? 🤔

6 Reason to Skip Blazor in 2025 YouTube video by Deploy & Destroy

I just watched the video "6 Reasons to Skip Blazor in 2025"🤔 While I agree with some points, I think that Blazor is STILL a great way to ease into frontend skills! 🙌 Plus, building UIs with #MudBlazor is just too fun! 🤩 #blazor #dotnet #webdev

Let's talk about consistency. There's a lot of debate in software about naming. What should we call our properties? PascalCase or camelCase? Should database tables be plural (Customers) or singular (Customer)? What about if your database has Sheep in it? Yes Kevin, WE KNOW THE PLURAL IS OCTOPODES...

Label is overlapping the text inside the standard text field · MudBlazor MudBlazor · Discussion #2994 I'm assigning a string to the Mud Text Field by using Javascript DOM.

Hey @timpurdum.bsky.social, you're close - it's actually the floating labels in MudBlazor's text fields that sometimes overlap the input values.

Still hoping for a cleaner solution though! MudBlazor is pretty slick otherwise.

I originally intended, but then I downgraded projects back to #dotnet 8 and basically used official #MudBlazor web app template.

Having some quirks with #MudBlazor form labels overlapping input values in my #Blazor project. 🤔 Seems related to render modes. Curious if there's a better solution. Any other pro tips for production-ready MudBlazor apps? #dotnet #webdev

I would love that, but I expect that lots of people (mostly woman) would feel offended and label me as some kind of pervert :(

Just fixed a weird issue 🤯 on my #Blazor Server app deployed to #Azure. Sometimes #WebSocket worked, then disconnected and the app became unresponsive 🥶 Simple form just silently failed! Had to disable/re-enable WebSockets in the config for it to work 🤷‍♂️ Anyone else experience this? #dotnet

I need to break out a thesaurus to properly define how I feel about the Blazor component lifecycle.

Seems easy at first but when you start having a bunch of embedded components passing down parameters, listening to events from injected services or wondering why OnInitialized is fired twice….
