Typed results (Results<>) vs IResult vs IActionResult in ASP.NET Core 11
In ASP.NET Core 11, return Results<T1, TN> with TypedResults for minimal APIs and ActionResult<T> for controllers.

Output caching vs response caching in ASP.NET Core 11: which should you use?

TPH vs TPT vs TPC inheritance mapping in EF Core 11: which should you pick?
On EF Core 11, default to TPH for almost every hierarchy, reach for TPC only when you mostly query one leaf type and a benchmark proves it wins, and use TPT only when an external constraint forces you to.
Microsoft Agent Framework orchestration: sequential vs concurrent vs group chat vs handoff vs magentic
Sequential for pipelines, concurrent for fan-out, group chat for moderated rounds, handoff for routing, magentic for open-ended planning. The C# builders and how to choose.
Fix: CS4014 "Because this call is not awaited, execution of the current method continues" in C#
CS4014 means you called a Task-returning method without awaiting it. Add await, or discard with _ = if fire-and-forget is truly intended, and handle exceptions.
