The Tale of a Null Field: Why Data Hygiene Matters in SaaS Development

Sometimes, the smallest details can break your code in the most unexpected ways. This week, while wiring up dropdowns for our legal deadline platform, I ran into one of those “silent failures” that every developer dreads. I was trying to populate a Case Types dropdown for the UI. Everything seemed wired up correctly—repositories were injected, the view model was prepared, and the code was tested.…

This week I’ll share why your legal deadline software shouldn’t just calculate dates—it should act as a trust framework. Built mine in .NET. #LegalTech #dotnet

Fun side effect of building auth in .NET: discovering how deep the rabbit hole goes. DTOs, DI, ADO.NET, audit logging… each layer adds trust. #csharp #dotnetdev

@khalidabuhakmeh No. I'm rolling it myself.

In legal SaaS, “it works” isn’t enough. Every calculation must be defensible. This week: extended .NET audit logging to capture who, when, where, how. #dotnet #LegalTech

Refactored my User entity into AuthenticatedUser in .NET—now every calculation is tied to a user, tenant, role, session, and IP. That’s malpractice prevention tech in action. #csharp #dotnet

Wiring up login flows in .NET this week: session IDs, IP tracking, audit logs. It’s not just auth—it’s building a trust framework lawyers can rely on. #dotnet #LegalTech

What Happens When a Client Questions Your Statute of Limitations Calculation?

Imagine this: a client calls months after you’ve filed a case and questions whether your statute of limitations calculation was accurate. In court, opposing counsel challenges it. How do you respond? For many legal software systems, the answer is frustratingly simple: you're defenseless. Most applications are black boxes. They spit out a date, but provide no proof of how it was derived, who…
