🧬 Day 35, the final post of the Genetic Algorithms Bootcamp, is live!
Today: using GAs for creative art and design.
Evolution isn’t just for optimization. It can spark imagination, too.
Thanks to everyone who followed along, whether 1 post or all 35!
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a powerful optimization strategy inspired by the principles of natural evolution. But they are far from the only technique in a developer's toolbox. In this post, we will compare Genetic Algorithms with other widely-used optimization methods such as Gradient Descent, Simulated Annealing, and Particle Swarm Optimization. The goal is to understand
🧬 Day 34 of the Genetic Algorithms Bootcamp is live!
Today, we compare GAs vs. other optimization techniques.
Where do GAs shine? Where do they fall short? A developer’s perspective.

Case study: using GAs to optimize hyperparameters in a neural network.
Let evolution find better configs for smarter models.
Tuning hyperparameters for machine learning models like neural networks can be tedious and time-consuming. Traditional grid search or random search lacks efficiency in high-dimensional or non-linear search spaces. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) offer a compelling alternative by navigating the hyperparameter space with adaptive and evolutionary pressure. In this post, we’ll walk through using a Genetic Algorithm
🧬 Day 32 of the Genetic Algorithms Bootcamp is live!
Today, we’re tackling when GAs go wrong.
From poor performance to premature convergence, learn how to debug and keep evolution on track.
Even well-written Genetic Algorithms can fail. You might see little improvement over generations, results clustering around poor solutions, or a complete stall in progress. These symptoms often point to premature convergence, loss of genetic diversity, or flaws in selection and fitness evaluation. Debugging GAs requires tools, insight, and techniques for diagnosis and correction. Understanding Premature

Today, we’re talking about best practices for tuning GA parameters.
Mutation rate, crossover probability, population size… find the right balance for better results.

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are flexible and powerful tools for solving optimization problems. However, their effectiveness relies heavily on the correct tuning of parameters. Population size, mutation rate, crossover rate, selection pressure, and generation limits all affect convergence, solution quality, and performance. In today’s post, we will explore best practices for tuning these parameters to get
🧬 Day 30 of the Genetic Algorithms Bootcamp is live!
Today, we’re unit testing your evolution.
Make GAs in C# testable, predictable, and reliable.
Genetic Algorithms are inherently stochastic. Mutation introduces randomness. Crossover combines genes in unpredictable ways. Selection strategies often rely on probabilities. While this is essential to their power, it presents a challenge when it comes to unit testing. How can you reliably test behavior when the outcome changes on every run? The answer lies in isolating
🧬 Day 29 of the Genetic Algorithms Bootcamp is live!
Today, we’re defining interfaces for GA components in C#: fitness, selection, and operators.
Clean, modular, and ready for evolution.
#CSharp #GeneticAlgorithms #DotNet #AI #CodeEvolution #DevLife
To build flexible and maintainable genetic algorithm solutions in C#, a modular architecture is critical. Yesterday, we focused on designing a pluggable GA framework. Today, we take a deeper dive into how to structure the interfaces that allow different GA strategies to be easily swapped, tested, and reused. By defining clear contracts for fitness evaluation,
