Ever observed the compelling urge we humans have to fill empty spaces?

You’ve got an empty room—you run to buy furniture. 🛋️

Your calendar looks too vacant—you invent tasks. 🗓️

Got a large office? You’re in a rush to pack it with people. 🏢

We’ve become masters at creating solutions for non-existent problems. 🧩

Now, imagine the magic in redefining this norm.

Imagine being an ‘Action Minimalist.’ 🚶‍♂️

Instead of aimlessly filling spaces, we take a pause. We assess what genuinely needs our attention, and then we act. 🌟

We stop treading water and begin making purposeful strides. 🏊

The question changes from ‘how can I make this better’ to ‘what problems truly need solving.’

Abstract the abstraction 🤯.

Abstract the abstraction 🤯. .NET devs, we love our patterns... maybe too much. For a simple CRUD app, I've seen: Repositories – because obviously we can't query directly, that's too mainstream UnitOfWork – like transactions, but now with extra ceremony Services –...
