A small but frequent annoyance in LINQ was finding the object with the max value. Previously, we had doing `OrderByDescending(x => x.Val).First()`, which is O(N log N). .NET 6 adds `MaxBy` and `MinBy`. This is O(N) and much more readable. Other additions include `Chunk()` for splitting lists into batches.

Writing guard clauses like `ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(value)` is great, but error messages often lack context. CallerArgumentExpression captures the expression text at compile time. Example Key Takeaways Zero runtime overhead—it’s a compile-time feature. Use in custom assertion libraries or fluent validation.

Prior to C# 10, you couldn’t use string interpolation (`$”…”`) in `const` declarations. Now you can, as long as all parts are also constants. Example Use Case Useful for defining attribute strings cleanly. Key Takeaways Components must be `const`; no runtime expressions allowed. Good for reducing magic strings.
