Custom Copilot agents: accelerating development through shared knowledge
As our .NET projects continued to grow, we noticed a recurring challenge across the team. Developers were spending significant time writing similar test scaffolding, searching for the right Copilot prompts, and ensuring that generated code followed our established conventions. While GitHub Copilot was already helping us move faster, the quality and consistency of the output often depended on how well each developer knew the project's standards and how effectively they could craft prompts.

School of Centric turns 10: learning that keeps moving forward
In 2016, Centric Romania put a name, a logo and a motto on its continuous learning efforts and called it School of Centric.Ten years later, it has grown into one of Centric Romania’s most meaningful learning and development initiatives: a place where colleagues share expertise, build new skills, mentor others and stay close to the changes shaping the tech industry.What started as a structured way to support learning became much more than a training program. It became a learning ecosystem built around curiosity, practical knowledge, mentorship and people who choose to help others grow.

Love building your product with Lovable
Lovable is an AI-powered web platform that enables users to create websites, applications, prototypes, through natural language. You can simply just type in an idea, a concept, or just describe what you want, and Lovable will not only build it for you, but also propose improvements or next steps for you, based on your context. Lovable also makes it easy to publish your projects to the public, and through the help of Supabase, can also help you database-wise (trust me, it’s extremely helpful). Lovable also allows for easy Figma integration, so in case you already have designs created, Lovable can build using your designs as base.Author: Anca Stumbea, UI/UX Designer.

How we built a sales dashboard in 2 days with a little AI magic
“What usually takes us 4 days? We nailed it in 2 - shoutout to Claude AI.” Last December, during Centric’s Innovation Days, we looked at each other over our coffee mugs and thought: “Could we really turn a Figma design into production-ready code almost entirely with AI…without drowning in <div>s?”Authors: Alexandru Popescu, Eduard Chirileac - UI/UX Designers

Testing UI Flow Performance with Playwright, Artillery and Application Insights
In this article, we'll explore how an unexpected performance issue in production made our team improve the test strategy. By integrating tools like Playwright, Artillery, and Application Insights, we could simulate realistic user interactions and catch performance bottlenecks before deployment.Every QA knows the feeling: You thoroughly test a feature, everything looks good, and you confidently deploy it. But then real users jump in, and suddenly things go sideways. This is exactly what happened to us.Author: Vlad Ivascu, QA Lead

"I built a Figma plugin using AI and saved a week of work"
"I’m a UI/UX designer, and I recently faced a daunting task. Imagine updating nearly 200 design token descriptions in Figma—colors, spacings, borders, you name it. Manually, that kind of work could eat up 3-6 full days (40+ hours!) of meticulous, mind-numbing effort. Not exactly my idea of fun, and definitely not the best use of time. There had to be a better way, right?"Author: Eduard Chirileac, UI/UX Designer

Get to know Refit - an automatic Rest Api library for .NET
We all have had the situation when we had to make external API calls at some point. We then had to write a certain part of logic to handle all the code involving HttpClient, requests, responses, serialization/deserialization, etc. All this process risks gathering errors, by using the wrong parameter or a header by mistake. If all this were available through an interface, that would make the process much easier, right? That's precisely what Refit is doing; it takes care of all this integration, letting developers focus on the main application logic.In this article, we'll get to know Refit better, what it does, certain particularities of it within a .NET with Blazor application, and a functional application that does monthly planning and requires authentication.Author: Simona Balan, Software Developer
