The Hidden Cost of DateTime.Now in .NET 🕰 You're Using DateTime.Now — and It's Breaking Your Code … ❌ Let's be honest: We've all written this:

if (DateTime.Now > token.Expiry)
{
    return Unauthorized();
}

It works… until it doesn't. In production, this little line can wreck your logic due to clock drift, time zone shifts, or mocking nightmares. 🐞 [ Article ] : https://freedium.cfd/https://medium.com/@yaseer.arafat/the-hidden-cost-of-datetime-now-and-what-every-net-developer-should-use-instead-8859863257a1 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #dotnet #csharp @ProgrammingTip

💡 Tip Before expecting an LLM to handle a complex task, use this litmus test: Could a human expert — who knows all relevant general knowledge by heart — complete the task in a single go without backtracking, editing, or note-taking? If not, the prompt may exceed what’s reasonable for an LLM today. 📘 From Prompt Engineering for LLMs: The Art and Science of Building Large Language Model–Based Applications 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #AI #LLM #PromptEngineering @ProgrammingTip

C# 14 - Extension Members 🚀 C# 14 adds new syntax to define extension members. The new syntax enables you to declare extension properties in addition to extension methods. ✔️ You can also declare extension members that extend the type, rather than an instance of the type. In other words, these new extension members can appear as static members of the type you extend. The following code example shows an example of the different kinds of extension members you can declare:

public static class Enumerable
{
    // Extension block
    extension<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource> source) // extension members for IEnumerable<TSource>
    {
        // Extension property:
        public bool IsEmpty => !source.Any();
        // Extension indexer:
        public TSource this[int index] => source.Skip(index).First();

        // Extension method:
        public IEnumerable<TSource> Where(Func<TSource, bool> predicate) { ... }
    }

    // extension block, with a receiver type only
    extension<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>) // static extension members for IEnumerable<Source>
    {
        // static extension method:
        public static IEnumerable<TSource> Combine(IEnumerable<TSource> first, IEnumerable<TSource> second) { ... }

        // static extension property:
        public static IEnumerable<TSource> Identity => yield return default;
    }
}

The members in the first extension block are called as though they're instance members of IEnumerable<TSource>, for example sequence.IsEmpty. The members in the second extension block are called as though they're static members of IEnumerable<TSource>, for example IEnumerable<int>.Identity.

Today we launched MenuPix 🎉 The idea came from a problem we’ve all faced: When traveling abroad or moving to a new country, reading restaurant menus can be a challenge. You might not understand the language or recognize the dishes, and searching for every item on Google gets frustrating. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We wanted to make this easier. With MenuPix, you just take a photo of the menu, and it creates a digital version with images of the dishes. It’s quick, simple, and saves time. We built this app because we’ve been in those situations, and we hope it helps you too! 🍕 Download for iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/menupix/id6621264757 Download for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.menupix&hl=en 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #MenuPix @ProgrammingTip

In recent years, there is a lot of interest in the techlead role in software development. There are many discussions about what the role is and what it is not. Some articles explain it as CTO, some see it as a lead software developer, and some consider as a fully separate role in the team. While there is no clear agreement on techlead definition in the industry, one thing is certain: being a techlead requires strong technical skills and deep expertise with a good mix of leadership and other soft skills. The only way to effectively grow in this area is continuous learning in system design, architecture, engineering practices and self-imrpovement in communication and presentation skills, leadership, conflict resolution.

Designing APIs for humans: Object IDs 🧑🏻‍💻 Ever wondered why Stripe uses foloowing format to generate unique IDs? Let’s dive in and break down how and why Stripe IDs are structured the way they are: pi_3LKQhvGUcADgqoEM3bh6pslE └┘└────────────┘ └─ Prefix └─ Randomly generated characters You might have noticed that all Stripe Objects have a prefix at the beginning of the ID. The reason for this is quite simple: adding a prefix makes the ID human readable. ✔️ Without knowing anything else about the ID we can immediately confirm that we’re talking about a PaymentIntent object here, thanks to the pi_ prefix. This helps Stripe employees internally just as much as it helps developers integrating with Stripe.

$pi = $stripe->paymentIntents->retrieve(
  $id,
  [],
  ['stripe_account' => 'cus_1KrJdMGUcADgqoEM']
);

The above snippet is trying to retrieve a PaymentIntent from a connected account, however without even looking at the code you can immediately spot the error: a Customer ID (cus_) is being used instead of an Account ID (acct_). 🔖 Without prefixes this would be much harder to debug; if Stripe used UUIDs instead then we’d have to look up the ID to find out what kind of object it is and if it’s even valid. 👨‍💻 [ Read More ] : https://dev.to/stripe/designing-apis-for-humans-object-ids-3o5a 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #UUID #Stripe @ProgrammingTip

OpenAI .NET 👾 The OpenAI .NET library provides convenient access to the OpenAI REST API from .NET applications. ✔️ The full API of this library can be found in the api.md file, and there are many code examples to help. For instance, the following snippet illustrates the basic use of the chat completions API:

ChatClient client = new(model: "gpt-4o", "OPENAI_API_KEY");

ChatCompletion completion = client.CompleteChat("Say 'this is a test.'");

Console.WriteLine($"[ASSISTANT]: {completion}");

The library is organized into several namespaces corresponding to OpenAI feature areas. Each namespace contains a corresponding client class: • AssistantClient • AudioClient • BatchClient • ChatClient • EmbeddingClient • FineTuningClient • FileClient • ImageClient • ModelClient • ModerationClient • VectorStoreClient [ GitHub ] : https://github.com/openai/openai-dotnet 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #AI #OpenAI #DotNet #CSharp @ProgrammingTip
