Editor's note
This week’s mix spans legacy modernization, performance pitfalls, and architectural discipline. The Web Forms to Blazor guide and the EF Core N+1 deep-dive are particularly valuable for teams hitting real-world friction. I also flagged the async/await piece because Task.Run() antipatterns still plague production systems—worth a read if your team isn’t aligned on when to use it.
