Stop Mapping in .NET Use Facets Instead

Summary

The transcript discusses the speaker's preference for manually writing object mappers instead of using auto mappers, introducing a new library called Facet that offers advanced mapping capabilities. The speaker demonstrates how Facet allows developers to create mappings with more flexibility, including the ability to exclude specific properties and use extension methods for object transformation. The key practical takeaway is that Facet provides a more controlled and precise approach to object mapping, particularly when working with Entity Framework Core projections, offering developers greater control and customization in their mapping processes.
