Adding health checks to your ASP.NET Core projects is simple and easy, but how do you get them exposed in your OpenAPI specification? Let me show you how!

I've been looking at my Nuget packages and they're kinda a mess. Not justthe packages, but the naming and branding.

I've been posting and making videos about ideas I've had for discovering Minimal APIs instead of mapping them all in `Program.cs` for a while. I've finally codified it into an experimental nuget package. Let's talk about how it works.

I can't believe October is almost over! I forgot to post about a couple of videos I made this month.

I love that this job allows me to learn new stuff every day. In this case, I was building a simple API to use for some upcoming <a href="https://shawnl.ink/psauthor">Pluralsight</a> courses. I wanted to use Minimal APIs to expose some data for an old dataset from <a href="https://data.fivethirtyeight.com">FiveThirtyEight</a> on Bechdel Tests for Films. While I was adding paging, I got confused.

.NET 6 Preview 6 is here. One of the big changes I'm looking forward to is how startup is changing. With this change, comes "Minimal APIs" too. While getting rid of the Startup class is a welcome change, I'm a little less excited about how Minimal APIs might be over-used.
