You Don’t Need MediatR? I Built My Own 🚀
|
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:

You had to manually check for null values, invalid quantities, or missing fields. But in .NET 10, that’s all built-in and super clean. Watch the full tutorial now: 👇 Happy coding! Take care, Patrick
Hey Reader, If you’ve been coding for a while, you’ve probably asked yourself this too: “Am I getting better… or just older?” I’ve been writing software for fifteen years now, and that question still sneaks up on me. But looking back, I’ve realized something: real growth in tech isn’t about frameworks or chasing trends. It’s about staying curious, patient, and keeping your spark alive when everything feels heavy. So I made a new video about it, my 15 biggest lessons from 15 years of coding....
Hey Reader, If you’re a Blazor developer, you know that annoying flash when your app loads data during pre-rendering. It’s been around forever. Sure, you could disable pre-rendering, but then you'd hurt performance and SEO. Well… with .NET 10, we finally have a real fix: the new Persistent State Attribute. 🎉 🎥 Watch my full tutorial about it here: In this video, I walk you through: ✅ What causes the flashing issue ✅ Why disabling pre-rendering isn’t ideal ✅ How the new Persistent State...
