    Annoyingly the.net blog seems to have started to use LLMs to write their copy. Using "real" twice in one paragraph - do LLMs do that? Lots of commas is a tell for me.

    Ugh.

      These comments about potential LLM usage are so boring. Stephen is doing this kind of blog post since 6+ years. They all look the same. Read it! It’s very good. Performance deep dives with this kind of quality are rare.

      For some people LLM-spotting feels like a sport they need to compete in

      This is the loudest release of .NET to date(!)

      Not too sure here. I use quite a few commas, too.

      I suspect it was done old school: Written by Stephen and passed to a LLM to fill in all those links and other garnish and then passed back for final polish by Stephen. That's how I do my write ups (but generally without the LLM bit for shorter efforts).

      This is a long write up, and I'm sure it will have been assisted, but in the right way, and not a sloppy way.

      I've dropped several commas before conjunctions, soz!

        FWIW the .NET 10 release also had 2 occurrences of "real" in literally the first paragraph.

        I, too, tire of the constant YOU WROTE THIS WITH LLMs outrage. An incredible engineer dumped an ENORMOUS amount of technical knowledge at your feet, and you're commenting on the smell? Is that all you have to contribute?

        I saw this too on the Ryan Carniato/SolidJS 2.0 announcement post. A world-class engineer makes a great blog post, and all the comments can focus on are the LLM-smells. Oh well. Any reason not to learn, I guess.

    Runtime async is certainly an interesting development. Really excited to see how this plays out.

    Spinal Tap's "put it up to 11". My laptop (Kubuntu) has volume controls that allow me to override 100% and take it to 150%.

    I can wind it up to 15! \||/ (is there an official ASCII art four finger devil's horns)

    This has been very noticeable in some benchmarks I've been doing lately, I'm looking forward to the full release.

    Ah the traditional browser stress test from the .NET team. :)

    Joke aside, yet another interesting read of all little improvements that go across all the runtime, and very much appreciated that they put out the effort to go through this detail level.

    Thanks Stephen for this, it is very rewarding to read something very technical that is not AI slop these days.
