Do you use attributes in your CSharp code? Did you know that we can constrain attributes to different types and different types of members? This quick clip shows marking attributes to only be used on classes and on members -- super handy if you need to be very specific with what you're annotating. And one more pro tip: You can omit the word Attribute when you're annotating your types and members. This is because the square bracket syntax already suggests you're working with an attribute. Hurray for reducing redundancy! What are your favorite use-cases for attributes? Watch the full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=y6KoX1…

You might be too good at helping. There’s a reason juniors love coming to you: You solve their problems in minutes, while they’d spend hours struggling. But here’s the catch: If you always jump in and do it for them, you’re not helping them grow. Instead, you’re building a culture of dependency -- even if it feels like you're helping. The next time someone asks for help, pause before you dive in. Try asking: - "What’s confusing you most?" - "What’s your hypothesis here?" By flipping the script, you’re helping them become better problem solvers—and buying yourself some time to focus on your own work. How do you balance being a mentor without becoming a crutch?
