C# 14 adds extension properties. That's not permission to hide work as data. `customer.FullName`? Good fit. `customer.CustomerHistory` hitting a database? That's a method. Properties should feel field-like. Expensive work, side effects, and surprises belong in methods. Agree?

That isn't just preference. .NET's design guidance says methods are preferable when access is slow, has side effects, depends on execution order, or can return a different result each time. https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/quality-rules/ca1024
