In the Jungle of .NET Obfuscator Tools
In this article I will explain our genuine experience with various .NET Obfuscator Tools. There are actually dozens of .NET Obfuscator as listed here obviously we didn’t try them all. Many of these projects are abandoned anyway. On a side note it is surprising to see so many attempts. I guess building an obfuscator is a task considered both …
Some C++ good practices from the OpenCV source code

Chaos Engineering – Thread Leak
In the series of chaos engineering articles, we have been learning to simulate various performance problems. In this post, let’s discuss how to simulate thread leaks. ‘java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread’ will be thrown when more threads are created than the memory capacity of the device. When this error is thrown, it will disrupt …
How Asynchronous Development Can Boost Productivity

Clean Architecture Refactoring: A Case Study
Introduction to Clean Architecture The recent post Clean Architecture for ASP.NET Core Solution: A Case Study explained that one of the most interesting property promoted by Clean Architecture is the abstraction of the infrastructure code. This way the application can consume the infrastructure code without being bound with its implementation. The infrastructure code represents basically all kinds of frameworks an application can use: UI, …
