I Asked Copilot to Build an API. Here’s What Happened.
|
Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you’ll enjoy it. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a .NET Web API using a short, vague prompt. The result works, but the structure feels random and messy. Then I run the same idea again with a stronger prompt that forces a clean structure. Feature folders. Vertical slice. Mediator. Fluent Validation. The difference is night and day. Enjoy the breakdown and let me know what you think. Take care, Patrick P.S.

Hey friend, We once spent five days in meetings debating a single delete button. Whiteboard sessions. A compliance guy nobody invited. A product manager who scrolled Slack for what felt like forever. And still no decision. Until Tom walked in on Monday morning, asked one question, and shipped it that afternoon. In this video, I tell the full story and walk you through the four questions that should end this debate on any team, in any codebase. Take care, Patrick P.S. We go deeper on exactly...
Hey friend, Most developers use AI the same way: send a prompt, wait, repeat. It works. But it's slow. And it leaves a lot on the table. In today's video, I show you the workflow I switched to: running multiple Copilot agents in parallel, each working on a different part of the app at the same time. It feels less like using a tool and more like managing a team. And with vertical slice architecture, it just clicks. Take care, Patrick P.S. Want to set this up for your own projects or team? I'm...
Hey friend, Quick heads up. I'm hosting the next .NET Web Academy Monthly Live Session on Thursday, and I'd love to see you there. Last time we had some really good discussions and great questions from the group. This one will be the same format: open, interactive, no slides, no webinar vibes. I'll share my screen, we'll dig into whatever is relevant right now in the .NET and AI world, and you bring your questions, your current project, or just show up and listen. 📅 Thursday, April 30 CET:...
