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:

Hey friend, I just released a new video and wanted to share it with you. Watch the video here 👇 I used GitHub Copilot to build a small Blazor weather app. It worked almost instantly and even used real API calls. At first glance, everything looked great. Then I opened the Razor file. All the logic was sitting in one place. UI, API calls, and business logic mixed together. It worked, but it was not something I would ship. In the video, I show how I fix this using a single refactoring prompt. I...
Hey friend, I just released a new video and I think you will enjoy this one. In the video, I ask GitHub Copilot to build a real mortgage app in Blazor. The app works. But the code is messy. All the business logic ends up in the UI. Fast results. Bad structure. Then I clean it up properly. Same behavior. Same output. Much better code using services, interfaces, and dependency injection. It shows why Copilot is powerful, but dangerous without rules. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown...
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. Watch the video here 👇 Enjoy the breakdown and let me know what you think. Take care, Patrick P.S....
