Stop Overthinking Blazor 🔥


Hey friend,

Blazor Server or WebAssembly?

Lately, I had a call with a student migrating a desktop app… and this question came up immediately.

So I made a quick video to break it down:

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...
