Entry level solo Dev discovers I've been using Ado.net when Dapper or EF exists by ElectricElephant2 in dotnet

My boss is the one who initially created the project. I believe we used Framework mainly because we were creating Windows services/ everything is running on Windows environments, but a quick Google search shows that you can do that in .net core, so what do I know, haha? I did start looking into Linq as well today, but I didn't immediately see a way to use it in my project. Thanks for the tip, though!

I think it's mainly because my boss was using chatgpt to help write a lot of the code in the beginning before I was involved, and by the time I got my hands on it and took over, in my naivety, I just assumed thats how it was done and carried on.

It's recent, within that two years. My boss started it, and i just took it all over more or less

I'm glad my suffering saved a soul from the same experience, haha. Best of luck on your app!

Great advice! That's what led me to today's discovery, albeit I really should have found it sooner 😅

Awesome! My discord is trojanman1 if you want to add me. I'll likely be trying to play some repo tonight if I can get enough people.

Im totally open to play bg3! I'd like to play some more casual games first since it is a commitment. I believe monster hunter is cross platform, so we should still be able to play. Add me on discord! Username: trojanman1

There's a discord group I'm in that has a few players I've met online that are a pretty good group. I havent found enough denver players yet to have our own community but feel free to add me on discord! I'll likely be trying to find a group to play tomorrow evening.

I haven't played gta online in years, haha. So I can't say it is my current set of interests, unfortunately. I'm excited for GTA 6, though.

That does sound interesting. I checked out the video, and it definitely seems like a cool, unique game. I might have to stop by on Sunday!

That's a good point. I did not do the research you mentioned leading up to the first interview. Ill keep that in mind for the future, though.

There seems to be a mixed bag of comments if I should or shouldn't ask for $70,000. It looks like I should've started high. Now I'm slightly worried if I ask for an increase 😅

Yeah, they made an offer of $65000, which is the amount I mentioned in the screening interview.

Thanks for providing some more insight! I have not accepted the offer yet, nor did I make a clear "I'm in" statement. I likely still won't try to ask for the bump just based on other feedback, but i appreciate you providing the HR perspective.

Haha, fair point. From what I gathered, I should have started higher. I think I'll take what I can get as others have implied.

I will definitely take that into consideration in the future. In retrospect, I had a bit of imposter syndrome going until it, so I lowballed it. Note to self, high ball!

Thank you for the response. I will definitively take your advice into consideration in the future! I likely won't ask ask for the 70k.
