@flash0ver.bsky.social Okay. So now I am getting to separating Code Fixes and Analyzers in separate assemblies.

Is the thought that I should expect consumers to use two nuget packages?

Or should I find a way to bring them back together under a single package?

I am at the point, I need an extra day on the weekend just to work on all the things I want to do.

Have we re-evaluated the 40+ hour 5 day work week yet?

@shahab-the-guy.dev @flash0ver.bsky.social

Either of you know of a "Roslyn Performance Guide" that can help a developer look at a given analyzer and determine performance concerns?

I know I can write some benchmarks, really looking for a set of best practices. Benchmarks feel daunting ...

I have decided I am going to just start deleting code until the compiler fails or until tests start failing.

Anything that doesn't cause these to fail must not be necessary.
