I wanted to make a quick video about the differences between classes and structs in C#. It turned into a much deeper exploration where I learned a handful of things I definitely didn't expect. I hope it is useful to other people!

What am I missing about interfaces?
a. you might do so purely out of argo cult, i.e. because someone told you this was the right thing to do™, and that's a silly exercise. b. you could also be doing this for a good reason: to use the interface with a mocking tool like NSubstitute

Since v4.20, Moq is harvesting email addresses
Maintainer rejected the PR. They have temporarily disabled the integration in https://github.com/moq/moq/pull/1375 but kept the SponsorLink project reference in the source code. It seems like their intent is to re-enable the integration at a later point :(
NSubstitute [0] might be an alternative. Or to fork Moq pre-4.20.
