Summary of When Random can silently break your app in .NET

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The video demonstrates how the thread safety issues of the Random class in .NET can cause unintended behavior in an application, and how the new concurrentrandom class solves these issues.

• 00:00:00 In this video, Nick demonstrates how the thread safety issues of the Random class in .NET can cause unintended behavior in an application. If you're not careful, this can lead to your application crashing. If you're using a cryptographically random number generator, you should not use the Random class, as it is just for generating random data. Instead, you should use the greater class. If you're not using a cryptographically random number generator, you can solve the thread safety issue by using the Random constructor with a seed.
• 00:05:00 In this video, the author talks about the thread safety issues that can occur when using the "random" class in .NET 5. He then introduces a new class, "concurrentrandom", which solves these issues.
