Editor's note
I kept this one intentionally mixed: architecture, data access, language features, and platform updates all show up side by side. The Clean Architecture to Vertical Slices piece and the EF Core lazy-loading writeup are especially practical if you’re trimming complexity or chasing a performance bug. I also liked the .NET 10 minimal API validation post for how much boilerplate it removes.
