Agents, safety, and ASP.NET internals
Covers multi-agent .NET tooling, EF Core pooling, C# null and memory safety, WebApplication internals, concurrency failures, and OWASP injection defense.
Jasen's top three picks
- 1 Multi-Agent Frameworks for .NET — A Practical Guide
medium.com
Useful primer if you're moving beyond single-prompt apps and want a clearer mental model for agent orchestration in .NET.
- 2 Database Connection Pooling vs DbContext Pooling in .NET
malshikay.medium.com
A good clarification piece; connection pooling and DbContext pooling get mixed up constantly, and the tradeoffs matter under load.
- 3 Collections in C# — From Basic to Advanced
medium.com
Broad C# refresher content, but still handy for newer developers brushing up on collection choices and behavior.
Editor's note
I pulled together another deliberately mixed issue today, with AI agent architecture sitting right next to core runtime and web stack material. The multi-agent framework and governance pieces are timely if you’re experimenting with LLM orchestration, while the ASP.NET Core WebApplication deep dive and fan-out concurrency postmortem are the kind of practical internals content I always like to surface.
