There is something about surprising interfaces: clapping to switch on lights is more fun than a flipping a switch. Double-click with pizzicato

Well...pizzicato is for the string section. Maybe overblowing!

That's not a flute, that's a implement that every small child in the West gets to torture their parents with as they grow up... otherwise known as a... recorder!😱

That was my reaction as well, but it seems a recorder is actually a type of flute:
Quote: The recorder is a family of woodwind musical instruments in the group known as internal duct flutes: flutes with a whistle mouthpiece, also known as fipple flutes.

If you have never heard 25 third-graders playing their recorders together, you are lacking the background to understand the comment by GuyThiebaut about the recorder being an implement to torture the listener.
Hint: The exact pitch is very dependent on how you blow it; you can pull it up and down by at least a quarter-step by blowing differently. Don't expect those 25 recorders to be tuned to each other initially, but that really makes no difference anyway when third-graders are blowing them. Played by professional musicians, the recorder is a beautiful instrument. As the first instrument, made mandatory for all grade school kids to learn in Norwegian schools in my childhood, it is the worst possible choice. Even worse than then violin as a first instrument - violin starters can at least play four notes in tune, on open strings.

C# 12 as part of .NET 8 introduced a compelling set of new features! In this post, we explore one of these features, specifically primary constructors, explaining its usage and relevance. "There can be only one"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 
I often roll my eyes at all these new language features and static analyzers that complain when a 10-year-old code base isn't using them.

For it to be a meme to judge programming by lines of code, the big dogs expend a great deal of effort to reduce lines.
Too much of this gatekeeping guardian elitism babysitting.
Let's take our super flexible blank books and just go ahead and insist that random pages of it have to contain certain plot points to make sure the author doesn't mess up the storytelling.

If you are measuring productivity by counting LOC, then these new tool are counter-productive.
