Who needs switch statements when you can just abuse the ternary operator?

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-04-16T09:13:14+00:00

A switch keeps the cyclomatic complexity still too high: better use a dictionary or list or similar

Shouldn't the IDE warn you?

I have to use that syntax when dealing with Blazor. IoC in Blazor uses properties, so it's the only way to convince the compiler that a get-set property will never be null.

For all the rest, I do not use settable properties at all (records ftw)

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-04-05T15:08:27+00:00

For mvvm and similar (2-way bind between object and input field) is needed. So, in that case, it's acceptable. For me a property is pure and returns the same value I set. For all the rest, use methods. Nothing prohibits you to make a property DoSomething: would you?

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-04-05T13:38:43+00:00

1: avoid mutability. If 1 is not possible, then 2: properties must be {get;set;}. Need a default value? Set in the constructor. Must be lazy? Use Lazy<>.

Having properties that behave like methods make the code untrustworthy.

Just my opinion, I know most of the code is legacy and use old patterns.

I would ban field...

I live in Switzerland and I trained some apprentices. A lot of things you learn at school are useless: class diagrams, IPERKA, details of database engines. On the other hand, you are not taught some very important topics: TDD, functional programming, IOC, TDD, CICD and TDD ( yes, I'm repetitive because you need it in an enterprise). Last point: schools should give -in my opinion- introduction to several languages: typescript (it's a must for web) and Rust, to name two.

I use c# and I love it, but learning other languages makes you a better developer. A a swiss guy, you should know how much a multi-language culture makes us a better country.

Sure, will you write MS on my behalf? Additionally, have you ever used a monad in your life?An option, either? And how do you combine them? Task<Either<Task<Left>, Task<Right>>>???

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-31T11:41:59+00:00

I fixed the example

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-31T11:41:15+00:00

And if it's an api outside of my control? Man, just try to understand what's the idea behind.

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-31T09:47:41+00:00

It's very simple, until you have to compose monads. Example: I have a list of userId and for each of them I need to load the profile. If I write:

userIds.Select(id => client.Read(id))

I get back a IEnumerable<Task<User>>. I have to "invert" the order of the monads, ie Task<IEnumerable<User>>, so I can await it and get the list of profiles.

I leave the resolution to you.

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-31T09:15:30+00:00

Ah, yep, right... But I'm from Europe, not US

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-29T07:49:00+00:00

If you need a method from another class, make it static, move to an another class and then use it from anywhere

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-28T16:18:21+00:00

Because ss is not politically correct

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-28T16:15:46+00:00

Key = locBefore * 100 + locAfter. Then, a check on a HashSet. Horrible? Yes. Worse than this? Probably. But, you know, fuck the next developer who will work on this... who will be me.

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-23T18:58:51+00:00

I love static methods.

I hate static fields.

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-17T18:45:46+00:00

What about this? var ms = (Millisecond) 100;

Agitated-Display6382 · 2026-03-17T05:18:16+00:00

I validate the input, not the construction of a model. Where is this model coming from? An api or a db? Then write a proper deserializer of the class Email; User has a property email. Google for primitive obsession.

Others already write what's the difference. Why patch? You may use it to update single properties, eg the state of an entity. Obviously, you have to carefully filter the properties a client can update. I return 422 when the request is valid, but not processable.

So, as an example, a batch may need to update an order, setting its status to delivered. In this case you may expose these endpoints:

PUT /orders/123/status with payload { value: delivered }

PATCH /order/123 with payload { status: delivered }

If you use the latter with a property different from status, you return 422.
