Hey! 👋

My name is Aaron Bos and this is my blog.

What do I blog about? Great question!

I’m a software engineer by day so you’ll mostly see posts, some technical and some not-so-technical, relating to my interests in software and technology.

If you’d like to chat about a post or provide any feedback (postive or negative), connect with me via the social links at the bottom of the page! I hope you enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy writing them.

Understanding Thread-Safety in .NET
Writing code that always behaves as expected when run in parallel is HARD. I'll be the first to admit that I'm NOT an expert in this field, but I do my best to generally understand the principles that make parallel programming possible. This post attempts to unpack the "thread-safe" term for writing .NET code and explain some of the techniques that allow for thread safety to be possible.
