If you build a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster, the first awkward question is usually not how to run a pod. It is how anything else on your LAN is supposed to find the services running inside the cluster. An Ingress...
Null propagation is one of those C# features that feels obviously helpful. The code is short, avoids the obvious NullReferenceException, and handles uncertainty without ceremony. In the right place, that is exactly what you want. But this line also...

Code lives in files. Files live in folders. Folders live in… a list you click through one level at a time. If you’ve ever tried to make sense of a large, unfamiliar repository by exploring its directory tree, you...
One of the strengths of ASP.NET Core is how naturally it supports cooperative cancellation. When a client disconnects, refreshes the page, closes the browser tab, or a request timeout is triggered, ASP.NET Core exposes that signal through HttpContext.RequestAborted. You...
Extension methods are one of those C# features that feel almost suspiciously natural once you start using them. The call is simple. It reads well. It fits the object-oriented shape of the language. But it also hides a question...

Quite a few months ago, I started an ambitious hardware project: I wanted to build a compact case for several Raspberry Pi boards and use them as a small Kubernetes cluster. The main constraints were: Here is the result:...
