I built Site Informant because I wanted a monitoring tool that was: simple affordable developer-friendly and not overloaded with features I don’t need It checks uptime, tracks response time, and warns before SSL certificates expire, with clean a...

Subtitle: A developer diary on breaking the 66k ceiling and the power of Object Pooling in .NET. In my last deep dive, "The Quick Brown Fox 2: The Silent Hordes," we pushed the FSM\API to its absolute limits. We built a dynamic, expanding world whe...

In the world of high-performance computing, we often obsess over Big O notation and algorithmic complexity. We optimize our loops, we thread our logic, and we pat ourselves on the back. I thought I knew performance. I thought I was writing efficient ...

In the Red Corner: Weighing in with a massive learning curve and complex boilerplate... the reigning champion of performance: Unity ECS DOTS! In the Blue Corner: Weighing in at a lean 45kb... the Object-Oriented underdog: FSMAPI! We are preparing f...

In software architecture, optimization without measurement is just guessing. I am currently in the process of a major refactor for my C# Finite State Machine API FSMAPI. We discovered some concurrency friction in the underlying dictionary lookups an...

In standard game development, we are taught that variables are silent containers. A bool is just a box that holds true or false. It doesn't do anything. To know if it changed, we have to pester it constantly: // The Old Way: The Polling Trap void Up...

We believe the most reliable software logic is logic everyone can understand. The complex systems that drive modern applications—from character AI in games to business workflows and industrial robotics—are often best articulated not by a developer, ...

The FSM\API Advantage: Runtime Modification Technology What sets the FSM\API apart is our FSMModifier technology, which allows for the dynamic reconstitution or definition of your Finite State Machines FSMs during runtime. No other FSM implementat...

The Architectural Pivot: Why The Singularity Workshop is Building MyVR with the FSM\API, Not a Custom Engine At The Singularity Workshop, we are charting a course toward MyVR, a vision for a truly sovereign, scalable, and adaptable digital universe...

Unique identifiers are the backbone of data management, distributed systems, and secure API design. While UUIDs UUIDv4 and integer IDs are widely used, ULIDs Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers are emerging as a superior choice ...

Choosing the right identifier is a critical design decision in any software system, especially when working with distributed architectures. While GUIDs Globally Unique Identifiers provide uniqueness and integer IDs offer sortability, neither fully so...

Choosing the right identifier scheme is crucial in the sprawling landscape of software development. It impacts performance, scalability, and reliability, whether you're architecting a database, an API, or a distributed system. While auto-incrementing...

Are you tired of dealing with GUIDs that are a pain to sort and even harder to read? If you're a .NET developer working with distributed systems or time-sensitive data, you know the struggle is real. While GUIDs offer uniqueness, they fall short when...

Most .NET devs are misusing records—and it's costing them more than they think. Memory overhead. Identity tracking bugs. EF Core confusion. I broke it all down in my latest Medium post: Why Most .NET Developers Misuse Records and What It’s Costin...

The Proxy Pattern is a structural design pattern that provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it. It's like having a representative that acts on behalf of another object. The Proxy Pattern allows you to: • Prov...

Introduction As developers, we often find ourselves writing repetitive code, whether it's boilerplate classes, data access layers, or UI components. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to automate these repetitive tasks while maintaining consist...

Web development is always changing, and sometimes it feels like you need a superpower to keep up. Luckily, Microsoft’s Blazor framework is here to make life easier. It lets you build interactive web applications using C# instead of JavaScript, openin...

In the early days of the internet, when graphical user interfaces were still in their infancy and networking technologies were just beginning to connect disparate computer systems, a protocol named Telnet emerged as one of the foundational tools for ...

Equality is a crucial concept in C#, and handling it efficiently can improve performance and correctness in applications. In this article, we'll focus on IEquatable, why it is preferable over Equals and ==, and how records in C# inherently support va...

When developing applications, interacting with APIs Application Programming Interfaces is often necessary. APIs serve as bridges between different software systems, allowing them to communicate. In the .NET ecosystem, creating efficient API clients c...
