We use Seq to find valuable insights in the vast sea of our structured log messages. While the search usually works straightforward without any surprises, this time we run into a minor problem. We wanted to find all log messages where property FieldX did not match a specific value. Therefore, we appended this clause to …
On this day 10 years ago, I was putting the finishing touches on the first blog posts I was going to publish on this blog. What started with a 12 posts series on RavenDB continued for much longer than I had anticipated. Including this post, I published 580 posts on various topics covering .Net, Python, …
Roslyn allows us to access our code through code. That permits us to analyse and work with code in a way that was impossible before. In this post we look at the basic parts of working with a Visual Studio solution to figure out what parts make up our application. The syntax of Roslyn has …
I wanted to know when I last installed the operating system on my computer. Let’s see how we can find that out on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Your Git repository is a treasure trove of data about your project. Every commit you make tells a part of the story of your project. Would it not be great to run some analysis on it to see hidden pattern or learn about the dynamics at work? This post is part of my journey to …
Now that we can log from Python to Seq it is time to do the same from our Flask web application. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. Prerequisites We need to install SeqLog and make sure that we import current_app …
In C# I use Serilog to create structured log messages and the Seq log server to analyse them. Let us figure out how this setup works in Python (and if it works at all). This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. …
Logging allows us to understand what is going on inside our applications. Luckily for us, Python comes with a developer-friendly logger that works without much set-up code. This post is part of my journey to learn Python. You can find the other parts of this series here. The built-in logger Python offers us a …
As I was updating my code sample for ReportUnit, I discovered that this little helper is not being developed any longer. I wrote about ReportUnit in 2017 and used it since then to generate an overview for my test suites. Let us see if there is an alternative worth migrating to. The successor If …
