What’s New in C# 14? Real-World Features Explained

C# 14, released with the .NET 10 SDK, brings practical improvements that make everyday coding cleaner, safer, and more efficient. Instead of adding complex features, this update focuses on real-world usability. Developers get fewer null checks with null-conditional assignment, making code shorter and easier to read. The new field keyword lets you add logic to properties without creating extra backing fields. Extension members now feel more like built-in API features, improving discoverability and cleaner design.

Performance-focused developers will appreciate smoother Span<T> and ReadOnlySpan<T> conversions, reducing memory allocations without messy code. Small but useful updates like improved nameof() support, lambda parameter modifiers, partial constructors, and compound operators also enhance flexibility.

Behind every seamless digital platform, every smart integration, and every smooth customer experience—there’s a developer (or more likely, a few) solving problems the rest of us never even see.

At Consid, we’ve always believed that the heart of innovation lies in people, not just technology. So today, we’re putting the spotlight on one of our most quietly powerful teams: our .NET developers in Stockholm.

You may not see them in the headlines, but the work they do powers municipal services, e-commerce sites, business tools, and internal systems used across Sweden and beyond.

And more importantly, the way they work—collaborative, curious, humble—says a lot about what kind of company we’re building.

So, What Does a .NET Developer at Consid Actually Do?

The short answer: a lot more than writing code.

.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft, widely used for building scalable, reliable, and high-performing applications. But in our Stockholm office, .NET is more than just a stack—it’s a toolkit for solving complex, real-world problems.

Our developers work on:

Digital self-service platforms for the public sector

B2B systems that integrate multiple data sources

Internal tools that help organisations run more smoothly

API layers that connect legacy databases with modern frontends

It’s a mix of new builds, optimisations, and clever workarounds—because not everything starts from scratch.

Meet Johan, Linda, and Ali

Let’s be real: developers often get lumped together as one amorphous group. But each one brings something unique.

Johan is the quiet strategist. He’s been with Consid for almost six years and has a gift for untangling legacy codebases that most people run from. He once likened debugging a client’s 15-year-old intranet to “doing archaeology with a keyboard.” He meant it as a compliment.

Linda leads our accessibility initiatives. Her passion is making digital services usable by everyone—including users with vision or motor impairments. She’s the first to ask, “Can this be navigated with just a keyboard?” even when it slows the sprint down a little. Because quality should never rush past inclusivity.

Ali joined us during the pandemic. Remote onboarding, brand-new team, high-pressure project. And he delivered—fast, clean code, collaborative attitude, and a sense of humour that made Teams calls feel human again. Now he’s mentoring junior devs and helping build a performance-testing toolkit for one of our biggest clients.

Three people. Three different stories. One shared mindset: thoughtful, thorough, and always evolving.

How the Stockholm Team Stays Sharp

Technology doesn’t sit still—and neither do we.

Our developers set aside regular time for:

Internal tech talks and demos

Experimentation with new .NET features (like minimal APIs and Blazor)

Hackdays where teams can explore ideas with no pressure to ship

And we encourage contributions to open-source when time allows. Because we’re not just using technology—we’re part of the community that shapes it.

Why Stockholm? Why .NET? Why Now?

Stockholm has quietly become a hub for complex, high-impact digital projects—especially in public infrastructure and financial services. And .NET, with its robustness and flexibility, fits naturally into that landscape.

But what really makes it work is the people.

At Consid, we hire for character as much as skill. We want developers who care about the why behind the code. Who ask tough questions. Who stay curious even when the requirements change for the fifth time that week (it happens).

Our Stockholm team embodies that ethos. They’re not just great developers—they’re great colleagues. And that’s rare.

Looking Ahead (And a Quick Bit of News)

In November, Consid will join some of the most forward-thinking companies in the world at the 2025 Go Global Awards in London, hosted by the International Trade Council. We’re proud to be nominated—not just for our business success, but for the kind of team culture that fuels it.

Because awards don’t happen without the people behind the projects. And our Stockholm .NET team? They’re part of that story, in every line of code they ship.

Final Thought

Developers often get the spotlight only when something breaks—or when something wows.

But at Consid, we believe in celebrating the day-to-day excellence. The solid build. The thoughtful refactor. The bug caught before it ever reached production.
