simplify to code initializer rather than ctor

Type of issue

Outdated article

Description

imho the first "public class Taxi" example should be simplified. The existing sample

public class Taxi
{
    public bool IsInitialized;

    public Taxi()
    {
        IsInitialized = true;
    }
}

could be

public class Taxi
{
    public bool IsInitialized = true;
}

There's a number of updates that could be made in the area of constructors. Everything from field initializers to init only properties to required properties and so on.

I agree that this example isn't a great one. Code like this should use an initializer instead. It should be part of a suite of examples that show the different techniques, and some guidance about determining which fits different design goals best.

yup this is doubtless one of MANY, but suggest we [MS+Community] try to improve the doc experience whenever we can and not get daunted by the enormity of the beast, so I hope you might accept this minor contrib.
Sometimes I get riled by something that results in a major work (Issue #10110, PR #10113) but hope these all contribute positive improvement to the doc real-estate. I hope that you welcome such assistance anyway!
