alt Hacker NewsIsn't Linq a lazy-loading interface by default? The example they gave was a Linq query.
I'm not a C# user in my professional life so I'm happy to be corrected, BTW, just citing the source of my misinterpretation

Yes, but in this context this just means that until you call ToList()/ToListAsync() you have an IQueryable. That represents a query, but isn't executed yet. Only at the point where you call a method like ToList (in this case First() is the relevant one) is the actual DB query performed.
The LINQ query in the comment above would only execute a single query like "SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = 123 LIMIT 1;" and would not even fetch the full entity, only the name.
