🌟 Weekly Dev Reflections (June 9–15, 2025)

Every developer grows week by week — by breaking things, fixing them, learning new concepts, or reflecting on what didn’t go as planned. Here's a short reflection on what I learned and experimented with this week.

📘 What I Learned

  • 🔧 Explored how GitHub Copilot streamlines repetitive code tasks.
  • 🧠 Deep dive into ref vs out vs in modifiers in C#.
  • 📦 Practiced better solution structuring in .NET using folder and layer segregation.
  • 🌐 Reviewed how IConfiguration can improve maintainability by avoiding hardcoded settings.

💡 Things That Helped

  • 🧰 Installed new Visual Studio extensions for code cleanup and formatting.
  • 🛠️ Customized launchSettings.json for easier debugging in multiple environments.

🚧 Challenges Faced

  • ⛔ Misconfigured app settings are causing startup issues.
  • 🤹 Balancing between learning and shipping code — time management still a challenge!

🔭 Next Week’s Focus

  • 🚀 Implement logging with Serilog in a sample microservice.
  • 📘 Publish a blog on sealed classes and their real-world uses.
  • ✅ Start tracking blog traffic and performance for AdSense optimization.
