Really appreciate the effort to shed light on .NET records misuse—this topic definitely needs more attention! It would be helpful if the article went a bit more in-depth on practical strategies for refactoring existing codebases to avoid these pitfalls. Have you encountered any common challenges teams face when making that shift?
