Belitsoft on ZLinq: Zero‑Allocation LINQ for High-Performance .NET Apps
ZLinq v1 was released last month (April 2025). It already has more than 2,000 GitHub stars. ZLinq removes the long-standing compromise between LINQ's syntax and the speed demanded by high-performance .NET workloads. Traditional LINQ incurs heap allocations that turn into bottlenecks in tight loops, forcing many teams to abandon it. By eliminating those allocations, ZLinq makes it ideal for scenarios where every microsecond (and allocation) counts. It also breathes new life into legacy projects trapped on older .NET Framework versions.

From Turing to Searle: can there ever be a reliable test for AI consciousness?
AI consciousness: a never-ending philosophical can of worms that leaves us with more queries than theories? And even if we manage to define AI consciousness, is it feasible that there could ever be a reliable test for it?

How can we trust AI when it can't read. Top Story - August 2025.
I like to write as a hobby. It's my form of therapy. I post some of my content on Medium and Vocal. For the past few months I have been using AI to help catch grammar issues before I hit publish. I don't take all the suggestions but I feel it works for the big things that I may overlook. I find proofing my own work much more difficult than proofing someone else's work, probably because I read it too fast since I know what I wrote.

Belitsoft’s Azure SignalR Implementation Patterns
SignalR technology promises lower time-to-market, scalability, and tight Azure alignment. Real-time UX (dashboards, notifications, IoT telemetry) is now a baseline user expectation and is directly tied to KPIs such as conversion and downtime reduction. Failing to meet those expectations risks customer churn and SLA breaches, compelling the audience to evaluate real-time stacks. Azure SignalR Service off-loads connection management and offers predictable consumption pricing. The business case shows lower TCO versus self-hosting, so the finance-minded leaders (CTO, IT Directors) see immediate ROI potential.

Belitsoft on Why Regression Testing Matters for Enterprise Software Stability
Companies that maintain complex software systems (fintech platforms, healthcare applications, SaaS products, or ongoing legacy modernization projects), share a common set of challenges. Each new release risks breaking functionality that once worked when seemingly unrelated code paths are touched. Deployments become stressful for engineers and worrisome for stakeholders who depend on stable, predictable releases. Development teams want to make updates faster without sacrificing reliability, defects must be detected early in the lifecycle, before customers are affected. Achieving these goals requires automated regression testing.

How Top .NET Development Companies Deliver Enterprise Software in 2025
When you're looking to hire a trusted .NET development partner, the "top 10" label usually indicates companies with deep expertise in Microsoft’s .NET stack — C#, ASP.NET, related tools — along with strong track records of delivering successful projects and earning high client satisfaction. These firms build enterprise-level systems, web platforms, custom applications, and mobile apps with MAUI. The right choice for your own project depends on what you need — whether that is e-commerce, modernizing legacy software, migrating to the cloud, or something else — as well as factors such as project complexity, budget, timeline, industry experience, preferred team size, and location. Leading .NET providers offer end-to-end services: they plan architecture, handle full-stack development, conduct thorough testing, manage deployment, and provide ongoing maintenance, so the resulting software is reliable, scalable, and firmly grounded on Microsoft’s platform.
