clean-code

To improve C# .NET code maintainability, you refactor duplicated logic by applying the DRY principle, consolidating repeated validation and boilerplate into a single source of truth to reduce future maintenance overhead.

The best way to avoid over-engineering .NET code is to apply the KISS and YAGNI principles, promoting simple, direct implementations and avoiding unnecessary abstractions until features are genuinely needed.

Yes, you can use clean-code principles to review an existing C# UserService by identifying duplicate email validation and refactoring it into a single validator to enforce the DRY principle.

No, you do not need external runtimes beyond a typical .NET environment, because applying these clean-code guidelines requires only standard development tooling to write and review C# code.

The YAGNI principle in C# software engineering should be reconsidered when a specific abstraction or feature is genuinely needed now, as the discipline strictly targets avoiding premature additions that add unnecessary complexity.
