  • I Hand-Rolled a QR Code Generator in Pure C#
    1 project | dev.to | 6 Jul 2026
    Except the PDF library I was adding it to — TerraPDF, a project I maintain — has one rule that isn't allowed to bend: zero third-party dependencies. No native binaries, no NuGet packages, no "just add this one small transitive dependency." Pure, managed C#, all the way down.
