Some ideas just outlive their usefulness. A pattern that made sense when you learned it (recommended in a blog post, baked into a starter kit, or simply "how it's done") can quietly become the wrong choice once the platform moves on; it doesn't matter whether your project is brand new or years old.
This talk takes a tour through Umbraco habits that are still common today but no longer serve us as well as they used to. We'll look at performance patterns that made sense before the underlying behaviour changed, content architecture that seems developer-friendly but frustrates editors, and technical choices - from redirects to front-end bundling - that had good reasons once and better alternatives now.
Expect a technical, practical session with real code and real config. You'll leave with a checklist of ideas worth reconsidering, a clear sense of why each one changed, and some concrete alternatives to start applying immediately.
No judgement; just an honest look at which Umbraco habits have earned retirement, and how to spot the next one yourself.
