Editor's note
I curated another deliberately mixed issue, so there isn’t one theme driving the picks. The EF Core warning about ToListAsync and ToArrayAsync stands out because it can quietly affect real-world performance, and the .NET 9 roundup is a useful sanity check for what changed. I also included a few lighter pieces, like the C# brain teasers and design-pattern articles, because they’re the kind of reads that spark team discussions.

Hey devs! Monday we had a standup where we debated the merits of minimal APIs (again). While my team continues to have strong opinions about everything from dependency injection patterns to line endings, I figured I'd channel that energy into today's newsletter. Got some good stuff that might spark similar "passionate discussions" in your team.
