I’m starting this blog because I want a place to keep the details. The explanation behind a piece of code. The setting that makes a deployment work. The documentation link I’ll want when I come back to it.
I miss the kind of .NET blog post you could bookmark and use months later: a concrete problem, code you could follow, and enough explanation to understand why it worked. That is what I want to write here.
These posts are for me, too. Writing something down forces me to check whether I understand it. Making it public gives someone else a chance to use it, question it or point out something I missed.
Expect .NET, architecture and the practical work around running software. Sometimes a topic deserves a deep dive. Sometimes a short explanation and a good reference are enough. I want each post to be useful when I return to it, with assumptions and limitations still visible.
I’ll start with the setup behind this website: how it is built and hosted, and how a contact message reaches the inbox. There are a few small decisions there that are worth writing down.
