I started codewithmukesh to share what I learn while building .NET applications. The official docs cover the features really well, but a lot of the harder parts of shipping production software, like system design decisions, Docker and Terraform setups, and the trade-offs between approaches, I had to learn on the job.
So I write the kind of articles I wish I had when I was starting out, and all of it is free to read.
Who I write for
Wherever you are in your .NET career-
01
Junior developers
You have just started your first .NET job. I try to explain things clearly enough to get you unstuck, without skipping the details. The EF Core, Docker, and system design intros are a good place to start.
-
02
Mid-level developers
You have been writing production code for a few years. Here you will find the patterns that hold up under real load, actual performance numbers, and the trade-offs that usually don't make it into the official docs.
-
03
Seniors and architects
You are designing systems and making the bigger decisions. I write about the reasoning behind architecture choices, deeper benchmarks, and the distributed system patterns I use in my own work.
-
04
Career switchers
You are coming to .NET from Node, Go, Java, or Python. I cover how the ecosystem fits together and how modern .NET is written today, so you don't have to dig through years of outdated Stack Overflow answers.
What I write about
.NET 10 EF Core Claude Code Docker Terraform System Design
Topic requests
What are you stuck on?
I take topic requests from readers and reply to every email. If there is a .NET problem you can't find a good explanation for, feel free to send it over. It might become the next article.
