If you’re working on more than one .NET project, chances are, you keep repeating the same things:
• C# language version
• NuGet package versions
• Warning settings
• Code style rules
• Build configuration
… over and over again in every csproj.
That’s not productivity - that’s pain. 😅
This is where 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝. 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬 comes to the rescue.
It’s a single, central file that lets you define global settings for your entire solution.
Instead of editing 15-20 csproj files, you edit just one.
The result?
👉 Less duplication
👉 Fewer mistakes
👉 A consistent standard across the whole team
👉 Cleaner and easier code reviews
And the best part - it works automatically.
You don’t import anything manually.
Just drop the file into the root folder, and MSBuild picks it up instantly.
If you’re working on real-world, professional .NET codebases, Directory. Build. props isn’t optional - it’s a must-have.

You can use Wolverine as a Mediator in .NET without creating handler interfaces for every request.
Here’s the setup 👇
1/ Install Wolverine: Add the Wolverine package to your project.
2/ Register Wolverine: Configure Wolverine when setting up your application.
3/ Create the Request: Define your request as a simple record or class. No special mediator interface required.
4/ Create the Handler: Add a `Handle` method. Wolverine discovers the appropriate handler using conventions.
5/ Invoke from Your Endpoint: Inject `IMessageBus` and invoke the request from your API endpoint.
6/ Wolverine Handles the Flow: Endpoint → Request → Wolverine → Handler → Response
The result is a clean request/response flow with less mediator-specific boilerplate.
And Wolverine can go beyond mediation with asynchronous messaging, durable messaging, scheduled delivery, retries, sagas, and transactional messaging.

¡React 19.3 ya está disponible!
Y trae muchas cosas interesantes
✓ View Transitions nativas
✓ Nuevo browser()
✓ Uso de Context en Server Components
✓ Trusted Types y Fragment Refs
→ react.dev/blog/2026/09/09/re…
ALT React 19.3 sobre fondo negro, con el logo de React en cian y el lema «Menos código. Más posibilidades». Debajo se destacan las APIs ViewTransition, para transiciones
ALT Ejemplo de React con un botón que alterna entre «Mostrar» y «Ocultar». Usa useState y startTransition para cambiar la visibilidad del texto «¡Hola! 👋», envuelto en ViewTransition para animar su aparición y desaparición.
ALT Comparación de código React: la imagen presenta use(browser()) como alternativa a detectar el navegador con useState y useEffect o con typeof window. El ejemplo importa use de react y browser de react-dom y llama a use(browser()) dentro del componente.

Honestly, I love PDFs.
But I HATE uploading them to someone else’s server.
So I built pdf0.dev 👇
• your PDFs never leave your browser
• merge, split, compress, watermark PDFs - all client-side
• no signups required
• 100% free & open source
The best part?
- I vibe coded this in a single prompt using @blackboxai. It took me longer to purchase the domain than it took Blackbox AI to build this thing 💀.

How do you create HttpClients in .NET?
The recommended approach is to use the IHttpClientFactory.
Your first option is to use the IHttpClientFactory directly.
The downside is you'll have to configure the HttpClient every time.
If you want to get a pre-configured HttpClient, you have two options:
- Named clients
- Typed clients
Here's the right way to work with HttpClient in .NET: milanjovanovic.tech/blog/the…
I prefer typed clients, because I can hide the implementation details.
But as far as HttpClient setup goes, named and typed clients are equal.

What does your CI pipeline look like?
Here's a simple GitHub Action for building and testing your .NET application.
This is an easy way to get instant feedback when something breaks in your application (assuming you have tests in place).
You can steal the source code for the CI pipeline from my article.
Check it out here: milanjovanovic.tech/blog/how…
This is a good baseline for most projects.
You can easily extend it with more functionality if you need to.

How can you find the Tenant ID in multitenant applications?
You have at least 3 options:
- Request header
- Cookie
- JWT
The Tenant ID comes from the HTTP request header in this code snippet.
A few other options to get the TenantId are passing it in the query string or fetching it from an identity claim.
Using claims will probably be the most secure approach.
You can even fetch the tenant ID from the database (at the cost of performance).
Then, you can use EF Core to implement Tenant filtering.
Here's how: milanjovanovic.tech/blog/mul…
How about async processing?
Background jobs = use job data
Messaging = add to message payload
