Good spot! Probably worth flagging that up to @sean-ewington for review.

Full disclousre: I am a fan of that youtube channel, but I was just mentioning it as opposed to sponsoring it per see. I was just wanting to be transparent an honest. However, I did the R&D of the article myself, and it's my own original work! And I do think that the person on the YouTube channel has good things to say in regard to optimizing the performance of C# software.
It's kind of like CNN reporting on something their parent company does, and then saying, "Oh and by the way, CNN is owned by Warner Bros/Discovery." I'm all about being honest and transparent, but I am not above asking the person who is behind said YouTube channel if they want to enter into a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I get where you're coming from and all and ain't nothin' round here even if I've been around a long bit too.
But...
The guy's been here ~25 years, so it's playing the long game just to be a spammy spammer.
Pretty impressive bio. He probably doesn't drink, but if we had looser legal definitions around kidnapping and controlled substances then chucking him into a van and pumping him full of loose lips might get real interesting real fast.

I really appreciate your contributions, especially in Q/A. But I think declaring the article in question as spam is massively below your level.
Only my view.

Cool accolades bro. But how does this come into play in relation with the article you're trying to promote?

Nothing. It's just a crass attempt to puff myself up and make myself seem smarter than I really am (or so some of my friends think). 
It's just me introducing myself. Probably a lot like this guy[^].
Ha ha ha...

Got to the bit about Notepad++ and cackled because I'd been thinking up to there, "man, Notepad++ is really good at that..."
|

I've been working on a tool that combines the following three operations:
1) Rename folders in a root folder's tree (according to certain rules)
2) Rename files in a root folder's tree (according to certain rules)
3) Replace text in files throughout the root folder's tree (according to certain rules).
The tool allows me to basically have a "Find and Replace of Solution Explorer". Say I added a whole bunch of class libraries called Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Constants, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Extensions, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Factories, Foo.MyLibrary.Bar.IsAwsome.Interfaces, and now I say, I want to change the names of the projects, the names of the folders in which they live, and update the .sln file and all namespaces and corresponding using statements, etc. so the code still builds, replacing MyLibrary with Aardvark everywhere, this tool will do that for me.
However, I had this one solution that had, like, 980+ projects in it, and for operation #3 you really have to somehow go through each and every file in a folder tree and do a find and replace, and instead of having to shell over to Notepad++ to do that, I wanted to integrate a file search and replace operation of similar performance into my tool so it can just take care of it as swiftly, or almost as swiftly, as Notepad++.

Yeah... Resharper/VS has an "adjust namespaces" but that just didn't quite get it when it's hundreds of files getting changed.
Notepad++ did way better there for me but you do sort of want it in VS.
If you make it good enough maybe MSFT will come relieve you of the code and leave you a check.

I know I have used at least one commercial tool which has a low cost which seemed to have no problem with doing searches and replaces. And provided many options including regexes.
If someone needs to to this hundreds of times a day on a code base then something is wrong with the code base.
If they need to do it once a year then they should buy one of the tools and use it.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are some free ones also.

I see what you did there.
But then, doing so killed the cat.

" that are already possible (and often more efficiently) on traditional computers."
What that really means is that it is not even close to being economical to do anything with this.
And I don't see anything it the article that really suggests that is going to be changed by this.
