|
Hey Reader, You may have seen the recent blog post from Jimmy Bogard (creator of MediatR and AutoMapper) announcing that these libraries are going commercial. And to be clear, I fully support that. Time is money, and supporting your family always comes first. BUT… In most of my projects, I don’t actually use everything MediatR offers. I usually just need a small part of it, the classic "send a request, get a response" pattern. So I thought: why not build a simple version myself?
👉 That’s exactly what I did in my latest video: I show you how to create your own lightweight MediatR-style handler system using just interfaces and a little bit of reflection. You’ll learn how to:

Hey friend, Last week I wrote a full .NET 10 Web API by hand. It worked great. But I kept thinking… Can I build the same thing faster with AI? So I tried. And wow. The result blew my mind. In my new YouTube video, I show you the exact workflow I used with GitHub Copilot to build a full API. Step by step. Real code. No fluff.
