					<description><![CDATA[What is Null? Null is an adjective that means &#8220;without value&#8221;. It is the absence of knowledge. It is &#8220;I dunno&#8221;. Null sounds like a very computer-y thing, but it&#8217;s something we encounter in everyday life away from our computers, we just don&#8217;t realize it. For example, let&#8217;s say someone tells us &#8220;I have a&#8230; <a href="https://www.scottpantall.com/2024/01/10/what-is-null-and-what-are-null-contexts-in-c-8-0/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">What is Null and what are null contexts in C# 8.0?</span></a>]]></description>

This is where we find something we need to do, we learn how to do it, then we document what we did so that others can follow it. This feels very helpful with something is obscure or not documented well.

Any time this API endpoint is called and we create an object that is a SomeController that needs an IDoThingsService, create a brand new DoThingsThisWayService and use that. When the SomeController object gets destroyed, keep the IDoThingsService we created until we're done with the API request in case something else needs it during this scope. Once we're done with the API request, then destroy the IDoThingsService."]]></description>

This is my strategy for troubleshooting all the things, especially code. My first tip is to&#160;take notes. Write in a notebook. Type in a text document.
