Asynchronous (async) and Await are 'contagious,' making it challenging to choose whether interfaces should be Task-based. The discussion revolves around two types of interfaces: those enabling variability/extensibility in behavior, and those supporting automated testing. It outlines strategies for implementing async interfaces when needed and warns against preemptively making interfaces async, as it complicates APIs unnecessarily. It also emphasizes the use of Adapters to bridge synchronous and asynchronous operations.
