You're missing the point where: in complex systems, sometimes optimizing code is both a high effort undertaking, and can totally not pay off. Having done hundreds of such exercises on our software over the years, it's liberating to have an idea of how to make something faster, being able to validate it without the fear of having to throw it all in the trash if it fails after days of work. What is still important is being able to provide proper guidance - we even built new tools to allow an AI agent to analyze memory usage in more depth, and instructions on how to benchmark in cloud environments where shared CPU usage and VM reallocation happen all the time and confuses the AI all the time with measurements

They added a whole set of skills and python scripts for interacting with office files using libreoffice headless, it's not writing the XML files directly

For me it was even worse than that. One laptop has copilot blocked by policy, and it shows a blocking modal every time you press the key by mistake

If I remember correctly the status page was not precise before the acquisition - so take with a big grain of salt the 100% pre-acquisition values

It's worse than that - the feature exists in the paid OneDrive app, it lets you scan, edit, add pages etc just like the office lens. It just doesn't save the output - scanned files just disappear in the void.

Maybe I'm not seeing it but wouldn't it be just easier to pump the river water back up instead of letting it flow on the sea?

There are some minor breaking changes like the order of iteration is not always the same as the official Linq implementation, or Sum might give different values due to checked vs unchecked summing. Probably not an issue for most people, but a subtle breaking change nevertheless.

To add on that, you can define your lambdas as static to make sure you're not capturing anything by mistake.

Something like dates.Where(static x => x.Date > DateTime.Now)
