• Implementing temporal table auditing in software development projects
  1 project | dev.to | 21 Mar 2025

  When a system-versioned record is saved in SQL, a row will be visible in the history table, with a PeriodEnd of the time the save occurred. The 'active' record in the main table now has a PeriodStart equalling the same date time. It's important to note that this is a SQL Server feature, which Microsoft then added support for in EF Core by popular demand.

• Where to find Open Source C# Projects to contribute to
  2 projects | dev.to | 15 Jul 2024

  This is by far the easiest and most straight forward way to contribute to an open-source project. If you have worked with an open-source Library, framework, or extension, making contributions will be easier as you are already familiar with what that project is about. Two popular examples are Entity Framework Core and MSTest

• Runtime code generation and execution in Go
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 May 2024

  This looks like a fun project but for serious work, if you need runtime codegen, you should use .NET which has been successfully using reflection and IL emit for more than a decade:

  - Regex https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/libraries/Sy...

  - Json https://github.com/neuecc/Utf8Json/tree/master?tab=readme-ov... (this project is archived but nonetheless impressive and continues to show good numbers despite obsoletion)

  - LINQ to DB query compilation https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/blob/main/src/EFCore/Query/...

• Assumptions in Software Development (with EF Core as example)
  1 project | dev.to | 11 May 2024

  We might assume that this filter is built on the fly, when an instance of DbContext is created, but that is not true. Building configuration is expensive, so EF Core builds it based on condition, and default one is the type of DbContext. Since the type of DbContext will never change, it is built once, and that same configuration is used for all instances of that DbContext. In the current version, global query filter values are no longer added to the filter as constant (I believe since v5) and because of that this will work.
