Belitsoft Announces an Ultimate Guide to Hiring Senior .NET Developers
The teams that hire high-caliber .NET developers test candidates on the actual stack and environment they’ll be working in (same tools, same workflows), use structured interviews that expose thinking under pressure, bring in future teammates to vet for fit and collaboration, and they don’t delegate hiring to people who won’t have to work with the hire.

Devstral – AI for Software Testing and Autonomous Software Engineering
On May 21 2025, Mistral AI and All Hands AI jointly unveiled Devstral, an agentic large-language model purpose-built to automate software-engineering tasks. In benchmarking, Devstral outperformed every other open-source model, demonstrating a margin of improvement. The model is distributed under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, so developers and organizations can adopt, modify, and deploy it freely. Devstral signals the next phase of open-source LLMs: not just competent completion models, but fully-agentic systems that can plug into CI/CD pipelines and deliver patches. Because the model already "understands" standard test runners and VCS commands, scaffolds need far less prompt-engineering.

Belitsoft Reveals a Playbook for Improving .NET Application Performance in 2025
CTOs and Engineering Managers are under constant pressure to align engineering with business goals – cutting cloud costs, speeding up release cycles, and keeping applications responsive. That means making sure software is not just functional, but fast, scalable, and efficient. .NET remains the backbone for many enterprise systems across various domains, from e-commerce and finance to healthcare and IoT. When .NET apps run better, the entire business does too: fewer slowdowns, better UX, more reliability where it counts. With .NET 8/9/10 rolling out, and modern cloud/hardware architectures shifting fast, yesterday’s tuning tricks may no longer apply. What worked in 2022 might cost you in 2025. This guide focuses on updated, forward-looking performance strategies – practical ways to reduce technical debt, improve system behavior, and future-proof your .NET applications.

Cloudflare Gives Website Owners Option to Charge OpenAI Bots for Scraping
Cloudflare has launched a private beta feature called Pay per Crawl, whose sole purpose is to let a website owner charge an AI crawler a fixed fee each time the crawler requests a page. The feature addresses a common operational gap: currently, a publisher can either leave all content open to automated collection or block crawlers entirely, and any paid arrangement must be negotiated manually.

Belitsoft Announces a Smart QA Budgeting Guide
Quality assurance (QA) is a strategic investment that protects brand reputation, accelerates delivery, and keeps compliance risk in check. For most software organizations, QA absorbs 15–25% of the total project budget – enough to demand the same rigor applied to funding for engineering, marketing, or sales. Why those funds are required, where they go, and how to manage them for maximum return.

Belitsoft Reveals How .NET AI Integration Facilitates Your Project in 2025
If your company already relies on Microsoft tools, you can add AI features without bringing in an entirely new Python setup. The real job isn’t learning new technology – it’s helping your developers: learn how to write effective prompts for large language models, keep track of model versions and training data, and design and maintain the vector databases that store your documents for search. Do that, and your teams can keep writing the same C#/.NET code they use today – just with smarter capabilities plugged in.
