That maintainer question is the useful part. In business code I'd take the more complex version only when a benchmark backs it and the PR links to it. Otherwise the next person simplifies it back without knowing why it was there 😅
I learned .NET performance by sending PRs to the Azure SDK. The rejected ones taught me the most, because a maintainer would ask: is this complexity worth it?
New series on what I picked up, starting with when to bother at all.

Absolutely 🙂 And since we've already been talking on LinkedIn, I know we're looking at a similar underlying problem from pretty different architectural angles. Same goal in many ways, different layer and approach. I think that's a good thing.

I tried every harness under the sun and always circle back to @pidotdev.
Many offer good features, but it's all or nothing. I can’t cherry-pick what I like.
It is less effort to customize Pi, then spend time circumventing workflows that don’t fully match my needs.

Shipped v1.7.0 of dotnet-skills, which now includes:
- Comprehensive CsCheck skill for defining model and property-based tests
- dotnet Docker SDK best practices
- Updates to TestContainer and dotnet-slopwatch skills
CsCheck one was necessary because even Opus 5.5 absolutely wrecked itself trying to write decent Specs for model based testing.

And if you are wondering what Pi Durable is all about, I wrote a little piece on it here:

With code examples. How quaint.
People of Pi: We've shipped Pi 1.0 with Pi Durable. Go make them yours.

GPT 6.1 Sol is now on BridgeBench.
OpenAI is calling it "near-Astra intelligence."
Our results: 3 points better than GPT 6 Sol.
82 points behind GPT 6 Astra.
When a model jumps on the lab's own benchmarks but barely moves on independent ones, that's usually a sign of benchmaxing.

a note regarding my tweet: it's not a bug, it's an expected unsafe behavior :-) Luckily, we got rid of all fixed buffers in our code (e.g. github.com/dotnet/runtime/pu… and github.com/dotnet/runtime/pu…)
My vacation experiment...
Makes your AI agent think like the architect everyone rolls their eyes at, until they're right.
