In this post, I will continue my journey into writing high-performance C# and .NET Core code by taking a look at a benchmarking challenge I recently encountered. While writing some sample code for an upcoming talk, I wanted to create a demo based on a scenario that I’d experienced at work. In that scenario, I […]
