Large organizations rarely have just a handful of applications. They have thousands, often representing billions of lines of code. These code bases span decades of frameworks, libraries, and shifting best practices. The result: outdated APIs, inconsistent conventions, and vulnerabilities that put delivery and security at risk. Manual refactoring doesn’t scale in this environment. OpenRewrite was …

Dependency injection (also known as DI) is a design pattern in which the dependent types of a class are injected (passed to it by another class or object) rather than created directly, thereby facilitating loose coupling and promoting easier testing and maintenance. In ASP.NET Core, both framework services and application services can be injected into your classes, rather than being tightly coupl…

The news that the .NET UI framework Uno Platform project would be upstreaming features and fixes into the core multiplatform .NET libraries makes a lot of sense.

These findings were included in JetBrains’ State of the …

Everything in Python is an object, or so the saying goes. If you want to create your own custom objects, with their own properties and methods, you use Python’s class object to do it. But creating classes in Python sometimes means writing loads of repetitive, boilerplate code; for example, to set up the class instance from the parameters passed to it or to create common functions like comparison …

Privacy Sandbox VP Anthony Chavez said in a blog post that the team had reached the decision “after evaluating ecosystem feedback about their expected value and in li…

Devops teams have a love-hate relationship with writing and consuming technical documentation. Developers loathe reading and maintaining undocumented code. Architecture diagrams can tell a great story, but much of it is fiction compared to the implemented architecture. Even IT service management (ITSM) process flows for incident, request, and change management are rarely followed as specified in …

The cloud computing industry is experiencing a seismic shift that is steadily gaining momentum.
