Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its .NET performance posts: one on optimising C# benchmark programs and one on causal profiling. Comments cite these posts as sources and do not judge their quality.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Hm, seems like the big win for C# was actually someone going in and optimising the benchmark programs themselves: http://anthonylloyd.github.io/blog/2017/08/15/dotnetcore-per... The point of explicit control is usually performance though. So if Java can give you near equal or better performance but without the developer having to explicitly specify as much, isn't that a win? Benchmark game also lacks the benchmark t…

HN discussionI'm suprised at the Java-C# comparaison. When are this numbers from? The following blogspot explains how the author improved C# implementations after seeing defavorable C# results. https://anthonylloyd.github.io/blog/2017/08/15/dotnetcore-pe...

HN discussionMedian Absolute Deviation Discussed in the previous post: http://anthonylloyd.github.io/blog/2016/10/21/MAD-Outliers It's roughly the range around the median where half the sample is within (since you can do 2 sided MAD also).

HN discussionIt is a multithreading profiling technique called causal profiling. The idea is by slowing everything else down running concurrently with a region of code, you can infer what the effect would be of speeding up that code. http://anthonylloyd.github.io/blog/2019/10/11/causal-profili...
