The 2025 Guide to Offshore .NET Development: Costs, Vendors & Pitfalls
Offshore .NET developers are software engineers who specialize in Microsoft’s .NET stack (C#, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, Azure, Blazor, etc.). They are employed by or contracted through a company based in another country with lower labor costs, so the team is located outside the client’s national borders and time zone.

Belitsoft's Guide to Regression Testing in 2025
Imagine launching a ‘minor’ update — only to wake up to crashed payments, angry customers, and a frantic rollback. This is exactly what regression testing prevents. Regression testing simple definition means running tests again after a code change to make sure nothing is broken. By 2025, with AI and hyper-agile development, getting it right will separate market leaders from firefighting teams.

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.
