(Steve Smith) Recently in one of our great devBetter discussions, Rick Hodder (go follow him now) shared a cool extension for VS Code. Basically, it lets you turn VS Code into a REST client. Think of it like a combination of Postman and Azure Data Studio (or LinqPad or SSMS if you prefer).

(Andrew Lock) In a recent post I discussed the changes to routing that come in ASP.NET Core 3.0, and how you can convert a “terminal” middleware to the new “endpoint” design.

(Gustav) Recently while pair programming with a colleague, we got into discussing the best way to initialize new objects in C#. I’ve always just implemented constructors and left it at that, while he tended to favour static factory methods.
