So, for anyone not in dotnetland, MediatR is a library which is commonly implementing a design pattern known as CQRS, one of the many completely pointless "design pattern for the sake of design patterns" found within OOP and which I have been trying dearly to make people stop using.
2 months ago its lead developer posted in a comment to a reddit thread 'You can print it on a shirt “I will never commercialize MediatR”. And I will sign it.', only for that lead developer to, two months later, make it closed source...
Jimmy, you have no idea how much of a favour you are doing for me

@crashtestdev@woof.tech CQRS is not pointless. It's a way to allow high performance system to work in a highly concurrent environment without deadlocks while providing an easy way to implement rollbacks. But I agree that MediatR was always a bit overkill and there are better alternatives available for years now.
