Steve Gordon's personal blog at stevejgordon.co.uk covers programming and web. Since 2016, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 13 times, most often “.NET performance optimisations don’t have to be complex”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-02-05, and you can follow it by feed.

Why HN links it
Linked as a blog by a programmer that HN readers rate, and for a series of articles on writing high-performance C#, including Span<T>. The comments mostly cite it as a resource.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
My blog where I discuss software development, mostly using .NET Core and ASP.NET Core.
