Works… until scale. WhyExceptions are expensive. Fix Use Try-patterns instead.
Day: January 2, 2026
LINQ Causing Hidden Allocations
Clean code, slow runtime. WhyDeferred execution + boxing. Fix Materialize once when needed.
C# Async Methods Still Block Threads
Looks async, isn’t. WhyCPU-bound work inside async. Fix Offload CPU work explicitly. await Task.Run(() => HeavyCalculation());
SQL Index Exists but Not Used
Planner ignores it. WhyLow selectivity. Fix Include filtered indexes.
SQL Queries Randomly Slow Down
Same query, different speed. WhyParameter sniffing. Fix Use OPTION (RECOMPILE) selectively. 🐌 Same Query, Different Speed Nothing changed. Except the parameters. If a query sometimes runs in 10 ms and sometimes in 10 seconds,you’re probably not looking at a missing index. You’re looking at parameter sniffing. 🚨 The Core Problem SQL Server creates an execution […]
Middleware Order Breaks Security
Auth enabled, still vulnerable. WhyMiddleware pipeline order matters. Fix Authentication must come before authorization.
ASP.NET Core Memory Grows Forever
No leaks detected. WhySingleton services holding scoped dependencies. Fix Avoid injecting scoped services into singletons.
Git Shows No Changes but Files Differ
Confusing diffs. WhyWhitespace normalization. Fix Configure .editorconfig.
Git Rebase Broke Everything
History rewritten, chaos. WhyForce-push on shared branch. Fix Only rebase local branches. 💥 Git Rebase Broke Everything History rewritten. Chaos followed. Git rebase is powerful.Used incorrectly, it’s destructive. Most Git disasters don’t come from bugs —they come from rewriting shared history. 🚨 The Core Problem git rebase rewrites commit history. That’s fine only if you’re […]
Ajax Requests Timeout Only in Production
Local works, prod fails. WhyReverse proxy timeout limits. Fix Increase server timeout or chunk responses.
JavaScript Memory Leaks Without Errors
Page slows over time. WhyDetached DOM references. Fix Null unused references.
HTML Forms Break Accessibility
Looks fine, fails screen readers. WhyMissing explicit label bindings. Fix Always link label with for.
CSS Animations Cause Page Jank
Smooth on desktop, laggy on mobile. WhyLayout-triggering properties. Fix Animate only transform and opacity. .box { transform: translateX(0); transition: transform 300ms ease; }
Windows 11 Audio Crackles Randomly
specially on Bluetooth. WhyPower management throttles audio devices. Fix Disable power saving on audio drivers.
Windows 11 High CPU with “System”
Nothing running, CPU burning. WhyBackground indexing + driver loops. Fix Rebuild search index and update chipset drivers.

Docker Container Works Once, Then Fails
First run ok, second run broken. WhyStateful data written inside container layer. Fix Always mount volumes for persistent data.
Kubernetes App Randomly Loses Traffic
No crashes, no errors. WhyReadiness probes failing silently. Fix Separate readiness and liveness probes.
WordPress Login Works Locally, Fails on Hosting
Same credentials, different result. WhyHosting uses aggressive object caching. Fix Clear object cache on password reset hook.
WordPress Admin Suddenly Becomes Extremely Slow
Frontend is fast, admin unusable. WhyHeavy meta queries triggered by custom fields. Fix Disable unnecessary post meta loading using remove_meta_box.
Photoshop Uses GPU but Still Feels Slow
GPU enabled, zero benefit. WhyGPU acceleration only applies to specific operations. Fix Switch document color mode to 8-bit RGB before heavy edits.
Photoshop Images Look Blurry After Upload
Sharp locally, soft online. Root causeAutomatic resampling + wrong export scaling. Fix Export at 100% scale, disable resample, then let CSS handle resizing.
Visual Studio Builds Succeed but Runtime Crashes
Your solution builds perfectly… yet crashes immediately. Why this happensDifferent projects target different runtime versions, but MSBuild doesn’t warn you. Fix Force a single runtime in Directory.Build.props: <Project> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework> </PropertyGroup> </Project> Why it worksIt guarantees consistent compilation and runtime behavior across all projects.
