Was this the first time using .NET for most of your devs?

This hasn't been the case since EF Core 3.0, it will throw an exception if something can't be translated to prevent this problem. Prior to this (EF Core 2.2), a warning would be spat out if an in-memory operation occurs. Due to this, I assume this project was a number of years ago.

The default logging format is unfortunate, although it can be made a single line in .NET 5 onwards. This issue would've been easily solved by using Serilog, swapping out the built-in logging with a few lines of code. I don't know the last time I encountered a .NET dev that wasn't at least aware of Serilog as an alternative.
