How to Create Custom Plugins for Semantic Kernel in C#
If you've been working with Semantic Kernel, you've probably used some of the built-in connectors and capabilities. But at some point, you'll need to extend the framework with your own functionality -- and that's where custom plugins Semantic Kernel C# come into play. Custom plugins let you expose your application's domain logic, APIs, database queries, and business rules as callable functions that LLMs can invoke during conversations. Instead of relying solely on what Semantic Kernel provides o...

The Prototype pattern is a creational design pattern that enables you to create new objects by cloning existing ones, rather than instantiating them from scratch. Implementing the Prototype pattern in C# involves defining a prototype interface, implementing cloning logic, and using prototypes to create new instances. This step-by-step guide will walk you through implementing the Prototype pattern with practical C# examples.

CodeSOD: Qaudruple Negative
We mostly don't pick on bad SQL queries here, because mostly the query optimizer is going to fix whatever is wrong, and the sad reality is that databases are hard to change once they're running; especially legacy databases. But sometimes the code is just so hamster-bowling-backwards that it's worth looking into.
Jim J has been working on a codebase for about 18 months. It's a big, sprawling, messy project, and it has code like this:
AND CASE WHEN @c_usergroup = 50 AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM l_...

AI And The Ship of Theseus
Because code gets cheaper and cheaper to write, this includes
re-implementations. I mentioned recently that I had an AI port one of my
libraries to another language and it ended up choosing a different
design for that implementation. In many ways, the functionality was the same,
but the path it took to get there was different. The way that port worked was
by going via the test suite.
Something related, but different, happened with
chardet.
The current maintainer reimplemented it from scratch ...
