My recommended list of dotnet nugets packages

I remember that when I was a novice developer, my colleagues always told me that I had to write code without having to use Tools, Add-ons, IDE, DLL, etc. to get guides, good practices or maybe not redo the wheel. Well, times have changed and now developers, regardless of whether they are new or superior, do not have such prejudices, but today they dare to tell me why I do this in this way if there is already a package that solves it and it is really phenomenal all the packages you can find in nuget. So many solutions, algorithms and tools that make our lives easier every day.

So here I share my recommended list of dotnet nugets packages:
