"Stop Wasting Memory on Strings in C#!" | Code Cop #016

Summary

This Code Cop episode analyzes questionable advice regarding string interning in .NET. It highlights that while string interning can theoretically save memory by reusing identical strings, the advice presented is objectively wrong and harmful. The practical takeaway is that developers generally do not need to manually intern strings as the compiler handles it efficiently for literals, and attempting to force interning in inappropriate scenarios can be detrimental.
