Apply two independent global query filters to the same entity in EF Core 11: a soft-delete filter and a tenant filter, each named so you can disable one without the other via IgnoreQueryFilters.

Put a list and a grid in a single continuous scroll without nested scrollables. Use CustomScrollView with SliverList and SliverGrid, and skip the shrinkWrap trap that quietly kills performance.

Why a ListView in a Column throws 'Vertical viewport was given unbounded height', and the four fixes (Expanded, Flexible, shrinkWrap, SizedBox) with the performance trade-offs that decide which one you want.

Use stdio for a local server one client launches, use Streamable HTTP for anything remote or multi-client, and do not build new HTTP+SSE servers -- that transport was deprecated in the 2025-03-26 MCP spec. Here is the decision, the wire-level differences, and the code for each.

On 2026-06-30 Microsoft showed the Binlog MCP Server running unattended in a GitHub Agentic Workflow, so an agent reads the .binlog and comments a root cause the moment a CI build breaks.

High memory usage and context overflow are two different problems in Claude Code. Raise the Node heap for RAM, use /context and /compact for the window, /heapdump to diagnose.

A complete guide to IAsyncDisposable in C#: when to use await using, how to write DisposeAsync and DisposeAsyncCore correctly, and the stacking and ConfigureAwait gotchas that leak resources.

Thread a CancellationToken cleanly through every layer of an async call chain in .NET 11: last-parameter convention, default values, linked tokens, ASP.NET Core RequestAborted, and the CA2016 analyzer that catches the ones you drop.

Use CancellationTokenSource.CancelAfter to enforce an async deadline in .NET 11: constructor vs CancelAfter, linked tokens for composing timeouts with caller tokens, exception disambiguation, Task.WaitAsync, TryReset for pooling, and testable timeouts with TimeProvider.

SkiaSharp 4.148.0 is the first stable v4 release. GPU-heavy UIs render up to 24% faster, CPU shaders run ~6x faster, and the legacy API surface is finally retired. Here is what upgrading actually costs you.
