❌ I removed AutoMapper…

It was making my code more complex without reaping the benefits 🚫.

Why? 🤔

Low no. of entities to map in my codebase.

I was defining all field mappings anyhow because I like explicit mappings. 🧩

So, it didn’t solve a problem for me. But it made mappings more complex. 📚

What did I replace it with? 🔄

static Create methods on my DTO’s, like FromCustomer() and ToCustomer().🚀

Works perfect for me! ✔️👌

What do you think? 🧐
