The hidden tax

Messy code doesn't just look bad. It silently kills your team's velocity.

  • โœ• "Please format this." - on every single PR
  • โœ• Endless nitpicking instead of real code review
  • โœ• Styling conflicts instead of merge conflicts
  • โœ• Warnings in one project, silence in another
  • โœ• No one knows which style rules are "correct" anymore

You don't need more discipline.
You need a system that enforces itself.

Code inconsistency across a .NET team
The transformation

What changes after you apply this

Before

  • โœ• PRs full of "fix formatting" comments
  • โœ• Every developer uses different style rules
  • โœ• CI passes dirty code all the time
  • โœ• New team members take weeks to ramp up
  • โœ• Time wasted on manual cleanup after every merge
  • โœ• "Tabs vs spaces" debates in Slack

After

  • โœ” PRs focus on logic, architecture, and real issues
  • โœ” Every file follows the same rules - automatically
  • โœ” CI rejects unformatted code before a human sees it
  • โœ” New devs are productive on day one
  • โœ” Cleanup happens on save - zero manual effort
  • โœ” The codebase looks like one person wrote it
The system

What you'll learn

Production-tested techniques across 12 modules and 60+ lessons.

  • โ†’ Enforce rules without drowning devs in noise
Analyzers and warnings as errors

"I really enjoyed the chapters on EditorConfig and automating code cleanup. The step-by-step explanation made the concept easy to understand. The sections on Visual Studio cleanup profiles and Git pre-commit hooks were especially useful - they show how to automate formatting without manual checks."

This isn't theory - it's how I ship production code.

Hi, I'm Stefan ฤokiฤ‡ - Microsoft MVP, Senior Software Engineer, and creator of TheCodeMan.net.

For more than 10 years I've been building large-scale .NET solutions where consistency, clarity, and automation aren't optional - they're the only way teams ship fast and reliably.

Everything in this course comes from real production experience. These are the exact files and configs I use every day - not theory, not "ideal world" scenarios.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What platform is the course hosted on?+

The course is hosted on Skool, a modern platform that combines video lessons, community, and discussions in one place.

Is there a community included?+

Yes. You get access to a private Skool community where we discuss code rules, share setups, and ask questions. Community access is completely free and included.

Who is this course for?+

.NET developers who want clean, consistent, automated code. Great for individual developers, teams maintaining long-lived projects, and tech leads running code-quality initiatives.

What knowledge level do I need?+

You should be comfortable with C# and basic .NET projects. The content is practical for beginner+ and intermediate developers, and still very useful for seniors and team leads who want a system to roll out.

Can I use this with .NET 6/7/8/9?+

Yes. EditorConfig, analyzers, and dotnet format are part of the .NET SDK - not tied to a specific version. Everything is forward-compatible.

Do I get lifetime access?+

Yes. Lifetime access to all lessons and every future update. No subscription, no renewal.

Will the price increase later?+

Yes. The presale is 50% off the planned launch price ($149). When the course officially launches, the price goes up permanently.

Is there a refund policy?+

Pre-orders are refundable up until the official course release. If you feel it's not for you, just reach out before launch.

What if I already have an .editorconfig?+

Even better. The course shows you how to audit, improve, and enforce your existing setup - turning a basic config into a complete automated system.

Stop arguing. Start enforcing.

Your codebase, clean - without relying on humans.
