Weekly Recap

Test Driven Development & Developer Advocacy – Interview With Gui Ferreira

You’re not a real developer unless you do TDD.

Gui Ferreira is a TDD expert — but no, not even he would tell you this.

In our chat together, we covered a lot of ground. It was great to sit down with a fellow Dometrain course author to go over:

  • His career journey
  • Developer advocacy
  • Test-driven development
  • And MUCH more!

Huge thanks to Gui for the talk, and I’d love to do more in the future!

Overcoming My Biggest Fears In My Career – Principal Software Engineering Manager AMA

Want to know my biggest fear?

Spiders.

But my second biggest fear is being complacent. Getting too comfortable.

The problem is… it’s easy to get comfortable.

I am still to this day trying to convince myself that:

  • Getting uncomfortable in a new domain is good.
  • Learning a new skill is challenging, but good.
  • Becoming a newbie is a good thing.

Let’s talk about why we should and how we can take on new challenges — putting us right back to beginner mode.

This stream focused on:

  • My newsletter focused on my biggest fear in my software engineering career
  • Jumping into articles/posts from LinkedIn & Reddit
  • Answering YOUR questions

Combining Collections in C# – LINQ Zip and MoreLINQ Zip Methods

What’s one of the most common ways we combine collections?

Something like appending or concatenating — pretty typical.

But what about when you want to combine two or more sets of data item by item? What if it’s not sequentially but in parallel to the other collections?

This operation is known as Zip in LINQ and in this video we’ll dive into how it works and what we have access to in MoreLINQ!

Developing For Feature vs Platform Teams – Interview With Gaurav Rohatgi

Have you worked in feature teams developing products for end users?

What about working on a platform team where your customers are the ones building on top of your infrastructure?

In this interview, Gaurav Rohatgi discussed these topics in depth with me.

We went over his career journey with an EXCITING pivotal moment and then got right into what it’s like to work on these different types of teams.

Thanks for the great discussion, Gaurav!

Does MoreLINQ Zip Outperform LINQ Zip? Let’s Benchmark Them!

A duel between two methods for zipping collections in CSharp!

But a challenger approaches:

Our very own naive implementation of LINQ Zip!

In this video, I’ll walk through the BenchmarkDotNet benchmarks to compare the LINQ zip method and MoreLINQ ZipShortest and ZipLongest methods. We’ll even see how my naive implementation does against these!

Buckle up and get ready to see how optimized my code is!

Spoiler Alert: It’s not.

More Spoiler Alert: You’ll still be surprised.


As always, thanks so much for your support! I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’ll see you next week.
