The Clean Code Rules I Wish I Knew Sooner (Beyond SOLID)
This guide covers 22 clean code principles in C# that go beyond SOLID, naming, error handling, layering, and API design for real-world maintainable systems.

Most projects I review have a Utils or Helpers class packed with static methods. At first glance, static helpers look like the fastest way to solve problems. You don’t need to new up objects or wire dependencies. Just call Helper.DoSomething() and move on. That convenience is exactly why they sneak into codebases. But over time, static helpers turn into a source of pain, especially in production systems that need to evolve. ...
