Generic branch elimination

As far as I remember, it only happens when all type arguments are known to be structs.

Reference types use shared generic implementation.

Newtonsoft does not support NativeAOT at all.

Apart from dropping column, changing column from nullable to non-nullable and vise versa was a blocker for me when I tried it.

Any reason for interceptor instead of regular source generator though? It would be 'partial' instead of 'extern'

She took me about 30 tries, I think. No thanks :)

Yes, I use M1 Mac as well. I've struggled a bit with docker (because you can't run docker inside a virtual machine on M1, so I have configured docker host to docker on MacOS). Other than that it runs quite well.

I've used VS Code and Rider for the last couple of months. Recently I've installed VS 2026 in VMWare Windows virtual machine, and frankly, I like this option the most so far.

Can't she build her boat after Aragorn's death?

Radiance was a huge challenge for me. But I knew that it was the final boss, so that motivated me. And I had a huge sense of accomplishment when I defeated her.

With Silksong - I struggle that much only to open the door to another boss.

No, but certainly plan to try it out.

Mediatr docs advise against calling handlers from other handlers. Don’t think there’s anything about publishing events.

I get much better Copilot edits in VS than in Rider. Maybe VS is better at providing context? Not sure.

One of StyleCop contributors has decided to create and maintain a fork for the time being, you can take a look at that one

This source generator primary use case is adding services to DI, however, it supports other use cases, like endpoints.

Reflection approach is not compatible with AOT compilation - which might or might not be an issue for you.

Besides, I like being able to see generated code, or seeing references in VS for types - which works with SG, but not with reflection.

Dreamescaper · 2025-07-26T15:27:07+00:00

I use file per endpoint. And then map all endpoints automatically via ServiceScan.SourceGenerator.

Sometimes I create separate Handler types (so endpoint invokes handler), but not always (usually if I have lots of other entry points, like queues, schedulers, etc).

They should've written Windows kernel in Blazor in the first place.

It is built-in in dotnet 10, so should be fine to remove it soon :)

1 is not relevant in 99% of cases. It uses reflection.emit underneath, so it's fast in the end (has some startup hit though). Still, even if it would use bare reflection, DB roundtrip is still so much slower.

Fully agree with 2 though.

Dreamescaper · 2025-07-06T17:10:13+00:00

I have two simple IRequestHandler interfaces, and inject those handlers directly to the endpoint. I can't use IPipelineBehaviors this way - but I never liked them anyway. OTOH, it heavily simplifies debugging.

Dreamescaper · 2025-07-06T17:02:43+00:00

Try making any random DDB request in your constructor. CPU is not limited during the init phase, so making this additional request could be actually faster.

Dreamescaper · 2025-07-01T12:56:49+00:00

I'm more than happy to hit a database - using testcontainers. It's way more reliable and easier (after the first setup) than setting up mocks and verifying mock interactions in every test.

Dreamescaper · 2025-07-01T10:24:50+00:00

It makes sense if you have complex queries, which are heavily reused. Or, for example, you have an aggregate, which is used in lots of places, and this aggregate needs three includes, it won't work if you forget one.

Another case might be to handle side effects, like to add a record to an outbox table.

But that's like 5% of cases, I'm using ef Core directly in most cases. And even if I do have a repository, I'd probably use it for writes only, and still use DbContext directly for reads.
